Grachan Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 OK all you Speedway historians out there. Does anyone have details from any Swindon v Oxford matches at Blunsdon in 1973? Particularly interested in riders, scorecharts etc, but anything would be interesting. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Swindon won the meeting 40-38, but I guess you knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I didn't even know that, so it's a good start. Thanks Kevin. The reason I'm asking is that I've got hold of a little bit of footage from the meeting. It's a bit blurry and I can't really make out who is who, plus my speedway knowledge began with a vengeance in 1974 - making this officially before my time. I can make out Martin Ashby, but other than that it is a bit difficult. Even some names from the sides would be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevH Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I had a feeling frigbo would come up trumps here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 That's brilliant Frigbo, thanks. Pretty similar Swindon team to 1974 then. I've got some old footage from Cowley too, so I'll probably make some mpegs of bits of it and put them on line at some point if people are interested. I found it all fascinating anyway, even if the quality was a little blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Interesting to see a young Gordon Kennett turning out for Oxford, but failing to trouble the scorers. Anyone know what he averaged that season? Doubtless I have all the stats in my book collection in the bowels of the garage, but it's not easily accessible!
