Thank you

Does anyone know the actual dates of the two finals ? I believe the Home Riders Final was held @ Wimbledon on 21/10/1929 , but not 100% certain. The Overseas Final was held @ Harringay between Frank Arthur & Vic Huxley, probably prior to 3rd October, but I cannot find the actual meeting dates.

Kalle Katajisto is scheduled to ride for Edinburgh next Wednesday & Friday also.

West Ham also ran a few meetings in 1940

It worked for me listed as under public sport 1 on screen

Agree, but maybe there has been a change in tolerating illegal machinery, with more draconian punishment now being introduced. I remember when riders were found guilty of using oversized engines and only token sanctions were applied.

Thanks for finding this one, much appreciated

Cynical me believes that at the end of the day, Sky will decide whether or not the UK viewing figures would be adversely affected by the absence of a British presence in all the rounds. If they conclude that their potential subscription revenues would suffer should there be no British representative, I would expect BSI would therefore ensure that Harris/Nicholls/Woffinden/??? would be included in the permanent field for 2012.

Appears to have been a temporary blip, got back on before ht 6 started. Good quality feed. Go go "Tin Pan Alley"

To allow visitors the opportunity to avoid having to base themselves in Cardiff after the meeting, and be exploited by the local hotels, pubs, & food outlets that jack up their normal prices when the SGP is in town.

Shane Parker was not serving a ban at the time. Parker & Mike Faria's engines were selected for measuring at the end of the meeting, and it was subsequently found that Parker's engine was oversized. As result of this, his points were deducted and the result was amended accordingly.

It was midget cars and few other tracks which no longer ran bikes regularly participated at that time, including Stoke, Coventry,and I believe White CIty Glasgow & Stamford Bridge. Midgets also ran at Belle Vue & there was a one-off meeting at Marine Gardens in 1938. Post war there were midgets at various venues, including Perry Barr and Old Meadowbank (1954). Derek Bridgett who is related to Alan & the late Bill is the guru on this and has published a book on the sport.

Excellent - Thank you very much

If you're too illiterate to compose a word perfect response don't respond

And why not explain the reason for his absence ? You obviously were aware Barker was riding in the GB semi at Sheffield that night. So why not tell the full facts ? Oops I forgot that does not help you justify your initial pathetic comment

Ah conveniently forgetting that Plymouth have raced fewer matches than anyone else and Barker has only missed one league meeting because of being called up to ride for GB at Lakeside. Given that Screen had not been manipulated into the Glasgow lineup from the start of the season and therefore had ridden a negligible percentage of Glasgow's official fixtures at cut-off date, your attempt to stir it is quite pathetic.

Online purchase was fairly straightforward. Used link with English translation, registered, then purchased using credit card. Printed off purchase receipt (to take when uplifting tickets at Stadium). Received confirmation e-mails also & correct amount has been debited from credit card.

Thanks pal - they must have disinfected their shop and I have ordered my tickets

I recall a conversation I had with an IT consultant in the mid 1990's who hailed from the Rochester area and was adamant that he had attended a Speedway meeting at Rochester Greyhound Stadium in the nineteen fifties. I was sceptical about this but the individual concerned was highly regarded professionally and not prone to making wild claims.

Look here

Would his dad be Malcolm Riddell who rode for the Diamonds c. 1951 ?

As Kevin Wolbert dropped his Polish commitments early, allegedly due to payment problems, he might be looking to compensate for this in 2011 by increasing his UK racing diary by doubling up, rather than relying solely on EL meetings. I am surprised that it has been suggested that his preparation at times has been suspect. IMO his kit is always well prepared and he employs a Polish mechanic on site for his British meetings. In fact in order to obtain the optimum set up for Armadale, he has had Peter Carr prepare engines specifically for riding on his home track.

Agree - if Ashworth was not a Sheffield rider and previous winner, we would not be having this debate.

Some of us are not viewing this forum all the time so you erroneously presumed I had been following events. Rather than admit that you made up porkies about what I stated, you come up with the above drivel. No wonder it is hard to sympathise with Tigers plight when you turn your jealous venom on Merlin for mentioning the fact that Wolbert had been asked before Sunday about his availability for Monday if needed. It is also speaks volumes of your knowledge of the regs by being strung along by Abbott who knew fully well that Wolbert could only replace McGowan if another Tiger in 2 - 5 was also missing Well he certainly hooked a dumb Weegie this time
