Norman Capstick mostly rode 2nd halves and appeared at Rye House and West Ham occasionally filling for short handed visitors in the the south, Steve Davies rode a couple of matches for the Crusaders in 1972, while Neville Brice appeared in the Crusaders side a number of times in 1969. Don't know anything about Dave Perry !

I remember being at this match and many others, had to rush back to the station to get the train to Ashford, the from Ashford to Hastings and Hastings to Eastbourne

This was a regular thing and I was still at school, Wouldn't let kids do that on their own nowadays!

Ross was just briliant and Graeme Stapleton was inconsistant, Graham Smith was a very hard rider. Ted was goin well and the KOC saw him and Mr Dugard inspect the fence against those Eagles, Although the Crusaders had a poor season having won the league the year before, it was great times!

Crickey, such a long time ago even before Holly was in the Barracudas team..!!!??

 

My first Canterbury match was vs. Long Eaton the following season ('72). Gary Cottham (senior) rode in that match for the Crusaders..: keep meaning to ask him, was it his first match..?? Does anyone else know..??

While we are on a Canterbury theme - i made my one and only trip to Kingsmead in May 1978 . I was just a teenager so the memory of that night has faded . But the match concerned was a Canterbury v Glasgow league match . It was on the same day as Ipswich beat Arsenal 1-0 in the Fa cup final cause i remember watching that in the hotel . Glasgow , i remember got a hiding , 50-28 i think and i'm sure there was an altercation on track between Merve Janke and one of the home riders . Can anybody give me details of the points scorers that night if possible . The following day we went to Mildenhall and suffered an even bigger doing 55-23 i think with Derek Richardson being the only race winner .

The night you refer to (19/8/1972) was Gary's third match. He made his debut at Birmingham on the 7th. :wink:

Benny Rourke what ever happened to him, I seem to remember him going to be the next big thing to come out of Scotland.
