Baille Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 We are compiling a list on the 5-1 forum of riders that people would like to be in the all-time greats version of the game. Please can anyone help fill in the blanks for teams currently not listed. This is not a complete list of teams missing but just those missing off the top of my head. Ipswich Witches Poole Pirates Wolverhampton Wolves Birmingham Brummies Edinburgh Monarchs Glasgow Tigers IOW Islanders Newcastle Diamonds Newport Wasps Redcar Bears Scunthorpe Scorpions Somerset Rebels Exeter Falcons Workington Comets Boston Barracudas Weymouth Wildcats West Ham Hammers Halifax Dukes Leicester Lions Bradford Dukes Hull Vikings Ellesmere Port Gunners Long Eaton Invaders Milton Keynes Knights Wembley Lions White City Rebels Any help with these teams would be greatfully appreciated.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 And, bearing in mind, that 2008 marks the 40th. anniversary of league Speedway in the Garden of England, wot about the Crayford Highwaymen and their even better successors, the Crayford Kestrels!!! Oh, and then there's the Iwade Colts, the Kent Crusaders and now the Sittingbourne Crusaders..!!!! I actually don't understand this thread..: clearly some (other!! ) major clubs are missing from your list but I'm sure I don't need to point that out..!!

These are teams that are NOT currently listed on Baille's web site - so presumably Canterbury and Crayford are. Just looked at the site - Canterbury is listed; Crayford isn't.

Hmm, well it's easy to miss the point when the question is so obscure..!! A list of teams that are missing from another list..??!! Phew!!

Baille Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 As stated in my post. This is not a complete listing. Just what I know off the top of my head that aren't listed yet. I am not a speedway historian so can't list every team ever to ride. My knowledge is more from late 70's as that is when I was old enough to appreciate the sport. Thanks Norbold for all riders added so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've just added New Cross and Crystal Palace to your site along with some Wembley riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevH Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just looked at the site - Canterbury is listed; Crayford isn't. So there is some justice left in this world then. Thanks for clarifying that Norbold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
