norbold Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Do you mean all Australians who have ever ridden in British leagues? This could be a long thread..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 So before someone comes on with a long list - what say we start at 'A' and on a daily basis see how many can be named?? Just a thought for a bit of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Blimey some folk are keen. Hope norbold doesn't need much sleep over the next week. In all honesty how many would there be ? Since 1928 at perhaps double figures each year (and yes I know some ride more than one year !!) it would have to be nudging four figures I'd reckon.

iris123 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Might have been easier going for Denmark,Hungary or Germany,but Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puma23 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi I need the information to the speedway rider's data bank because first I prepare all riders who have not ridden in british and swedish league. When I will be preparing riders of british and swedish leagues I will write clubs which the riders rode. I did it with riders of polish leagues. Look at: http://www.lubusports.pl/mat05/biografia.php For example: RINAT MARDANSZIN Kraj (Nation): Rosja (Russia) Data urodzenia (DoB): 24.12.1963 Kluby (Clubs): LIGA POLSKA (POLISH LEAGUE):Unia Tarnów (1992), Śląsk Świętochłowice (1995-1996), Iskra Ostrów (1997, 1999, 2002), Włókniarz Malma Częstochowa (1998), TŻ Noban Opole (2000), WTŻ Warszawa (2001) LIGA ROSYJSKA (RUSSIAN LEAGUE) (ZSRR-USRR):Stroitiel Oktiabrskij (1991-1994), Baszkiria Ufa (1996), Lukoil Oktiabrskij (1997-2004) POLISH LEAGUES (letters A-P) - 1803 Argentina 104, Belgium 46, Bulgaria 56, Croatia 16, Finland 209, Netherland 119, Canada 349, Mexico 3, Namibia 2, Norway 117, New Zealand - 252, RSA 178, Romania 60, Hungary 116, Italy 235 TOTAL=3665 PLEASE HELP ALL !!!!

iris123 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Might be an idea to go through twominutewarning's site look at all the test matches Australia and Young Australia have raced in Britain,come back with a list of riders and then ask who is missing.A list of Australian riders is a very big task.Second only to English riders i would have thought.Scottish or Welsh riders would be outnumbered by Australians.Will gladly help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 dont know about starting with the letter "A" i can only think of leigh adams. so just of the top of my head are the ones that rode for glasgow ( in my lifetime ).Charlie monk,Shane bowes,Shane parker,Corey blackman,Brian nixon,Mick powell,Bluey scott,Jason lyons, Robert ksiezak,Trent leverington,Merve janke,Mick Mckeon,Rusty harrison,Christian henry,Kevin doolan,Rod hunter and a couple who rode for paisley Stuart mountford,Tom davie and Bernie foot. ive probably missed a few , but i hope this is of some help because as has been already said there must be hundreds of aussies that have ridden over here.
