Grachan Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Worth getting. People say the 1981 World Final was special, but watch out for the 1972 Final! Very dramatic! I went to the 1975 Final too. Was devestated that Martin Ashby didn't get a ride when Ray Wilson (I think) touched the tapes. I also remember there was a bomb scare which everyone ignored and I recall being right at the back of the stand on the 3/4th bends and being unable to see anything. I sneaked round and into the seating area on the back straight and perched on the end of a bench for a whie before sneaking right down to the front in the aisle. Nobody stopped me. Another amazing thing if you watch those old finals is how often the referee keeps the race going despite a rider (normally Ivan Mauger!!) lying prostrate on the track.

iris123 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 1975 was my first and only meeting at Wembley.Went hoping Tommy Jansson would get on the rostrum They do sell the videos here for about a fiver,but the german commentary has nothing on Dave Lanning!The main thing i remember from the final was the crowd....80,000 or something speedway fans was something to see even coming from a fairly big home track when at the time the Internationale had about 20,000 every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
