Wednesday 24 th April 1968 Poole v Coatbridge odd fossengens debut for Poole

Boxalls no Brady Kurtz but he's come in three quarters into the season on sub standard equipment and had a nasty fall Friday might at the ota and another last night so he not going to be a high scorer ,Todd Kurtz is seeing the end of his season nearing and probably not going to shell out money now, I saw both meetings and even though Friday was a cakewalk last night was a lot closer than I thought it would be.plymouth are lacking a number 1,hope boxall and Luke priest are ok

Colin goodey rode for Poole and crayford in 1977,must of appeared at atleast 30 tracks that season

Was quite impressed with dimitri berge last night ,could turn out to be France's best yet

Well done Plymouth,I'm a Somerset regular(even though I live 20 miles from Poole),this is the next best result for us,hope Plymouth can kick on from this

Simmo was good round Exeter when I saw him even beating mauger,but I'm sure it was Bristol and possibly Newport he hated but I think he got a maximum at eastville one night for poole

and barrow(park road) for Wimbledon against Berwick 1981 inter league cup and Weymouth for Poole inter league challenge.

Thinking of Kevin Holden and his family 39 years ago today rip kevin

Would it be a silver medal for weymouth who were runners up in the league that year

Never met her, but she Watson here a lot when I joined the forum,I know she was very proud of her uncle ted,RIP shazzy

Mal corradine was absent when middlesborough visited weymouth in1979 with a broken ankle

Remembering vic harding wh0 left us 34 years today

we had a group of poles behind us,they were a pain ,running up and down the aisle behind us after gollobs win and then grabbed the chap next to me on the shoulders,who was in his late seventies and shook him.i told the pole to go forth and i was told the stewards warned them and as the night went on they got quieter,wonder why that was?

only want one ticket,can you turn up on the day and buy a ticket?

remembering vic today 32 years since he left us

denny morter came from the ipswich area,buttigieg,foot and chaldicot started at the matchems training school in the early seventies, buttigieg i believe was born in malta and was a regular in the poole team in 1973 for a while then he packed in to concentrate on karting.he would of been a very good rider,other trainees at matchems were the better known martin yeates,steve lomas and geoff swindells who with russel foot can be seen at poole on racenights.

why have hart back? were training him up for lakeside,got rid of two out of three riders who are going to improve halsey and resch.i would have got rid of the basebys,their treading water and are never going to get better,also why sign a rider who cant get in plymouths or weymouths side leaving the buccs woefully weak at reserve

dick partridge rode a couple of matches for scunthorpe in 1976 and started 1977 at weymouth but was replaced after a couple of matches by malcolm corradine.

jancarz would never have rode with teodorowicz and certainly never rode at norwich and kings lynn opened after teo,s death.

go to www.defunct speedway.co.uk go to a-z of tracks and on the bristol(eastville) page scroll down second photo there is a team line up from 1977 in colour with tom in it and further on down a b/w action photo. i remember tom when he was sponsored by bulmers cider along with malcolm corradine and pip lamb with yellow leathers as seen in the team line up on the grass.one of the nicest blokes you could meet,very down to earth chap and died far to soon.

you forgot tony peasland

spare a thought for vic harding who lost his life 30 years today at hackney 8th june 1979.still remembered as a really nice lad at weymouth.also thoughts for steve weatherley who was badly injured in the same accident.

geoff swindells at weymouth.
