chunky Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Brafield Flying Foxies 1954-1955 Â Should read "Foxes" not "Foxies". Â Wimbledon Dons 1932-1987, 2002-2005 Â What about 1988-1991? Oops, sorry Brett; just realised you've already mentioned that... Â Wolverhampton were the Wolves for a much longer period than just 1978. Â The Devonair Falcons were simply the Exeter Falcons with their sponsor being Devonair. Â I don't believe that Newcastle were the Federation Specials in 1966, and you will find that Hackney were the Hawks long before 1971, Â Odsal were the "Boomerangs", not Bommerangs.

It would be very confusing if we started separating teams because of sponsors. For instance, Wimbledon were always the Dons (true, not Eastbourne, Brett!!!), even though they were the L.B.C. Dons, Chalfont Dons, Montine Dons, GMB Dons etc.  Steve Edited May 5, 2008 by chunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm also not sure about Barrow. According to the book, National League Speedway 1968-1977, the 1972 Barrow team were called the "Bombers". However, I seem to remember them being known as the "Happy Faces" due to their sponsorship from Duckham's. Can anyone confirm that their official nickname was indeed, the "Happy Faces"?
