Indeed and why Wimbledon only listed from 1932?

 

Swindon 1949-present

Wimbledon 1928-1991 and 2002-2005

Brafield Flying Foxies 1954-1955

 

Should read "Foxes" not "Foxies".

 

Wimbledon Dons 1932-1987, 2002-2005

 

What about 1988-1991? Oops, sorry Brett; just realised you've already mentioned that...

 

Wolverhampton were the Wolves for a much longer period than just 1978.

 

The Devonair Falcons were simply the Exeter Falcons with their sponsor being Devonair.

 

I don't believe that Newcastle were the Federation Specials in 1966, and you will find that Hackney were the Hawks long before 1971,

 

Odsal were the "Boomerangs", not Bommerangs.

'Ang on, norbold; what about 1968 - 1974??? Surely that should read "1968 - 1990" for the Eagles?

Oops :oops: 1969 - 1990 actually! sorry.

 

I forgive ya... Of course, I just made a faux pas also, saying 1968 instead of '69... :oops::blink:

 

Oh, and Wilman70, here are some more corrections :

 

Romford Bombers 1968 - 1971

 

Middlesbrough were the "Teessiders" from 1968 - 1970, becoming the Teesside "Teessiders" from 1971 - 1973, before changing to the Teesside "Tigers" in 1974.

 

Teams that have been left out are :

 

Ringwood "Turfs" 1954

Southern Rovers 1956

Rayleigh Rovers 1957

Weymouth Scrochers 1954-1962

Also, Glasgow Ashfield rode in 1952.

 

The Exeter Devonair Falcons don't need to be separated from the rest of Exeter's history; they were still the Falcons. 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.

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"?
