speedyguy Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) The site shown second in my signature would appreciate help in regard to the Wimbledon team squads between 2002-2004. I do have some names for 2002 (not the full 31-plus riders!) and some 2004 riders, but again not the complete list. Thank you.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Ah, happy days! Am I not right (pardon the pun!) in thinking that Matt Wright made an appearance for the Dons (joining a cast of thousands!) in that traumatic 2002 season too..? And I'm certain Barry Burchatt did in '03. Also there was that veteran rider who stepped into the breach at an away match - was it Peterboro' in '03..? I think his name was Ron Jones..?? Roger Dickerson... What a top bloke Roger was.. Oh, and BTW Tom Brown never rode in a proper competitive match for the Dons (just a challenge match) but I think Chris Schramm did and I can't see his name mentioned..

Following the 'model' of '02 (and including all those who made even what was sort of a 'guest' appearance borrowed from an away track..) you need to add not just Jones and the other one I mentioned, Barry Burchatt but also: John Branney David Haigh (actually used twice..) Martin McDermott I'm wondering if mimmo is just using CL records rather than CT too, because also omitted are the two riders used only in Trophy matches. Shrammy (who I mentioned before) and most signiicantly, Joel Parsons who made six appearances. for the Dons in that competition.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I thought Dickerson was a great club man and nice guy to get on with. Martin wanted to just do grass track I think - he remains a top rider on the grass. He did have a lot of potential as a Speedway rider, I agree. Roger on the other hand was someone coming back after a long time away...: am guessing at his age the costs just got too much.

Guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I enjoyed my trips to the plush Plough Lane, even if the track was an abomination. All the best Rob Sadly that wasn't really down to us. We would have loved to have used the fabulous original track (used from 1968-1991) but that was tarmaced over and we had little option but to utilise the centre green. We couldn't go in any further either due to the siting of the drainage system. I agree that the bends were too narrow for the straights but we did see some terrific racing, especially from Buzz & James Wright (my favourite visitor to Plough Lane). Oxford were always good value on their visits, I recall the Dons sneaking a victory thanks to a last bend engine failure for either Chris Mills or Craig Branney in 2004. Happy days. We also had the best programme in the CL (that's another drink you owe me DB!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Rather embrasssing but I also need the Wimbledon CL team squads for the 2005 season. i had them in a file on laptop, clicked the wrong button and sent them to trash - and my search system cannot retrieve the data. That are needed to complete the Dons line-up for the second file in my signature. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 We also had the best programme in the CL (that's another drink you owe me DB!). Thanx Bazza!!! Any time for that beer!!! I wouldn't take too much notice of Rob, though - he slagged off the track EVERY WHERE that Oxford lost.. I remember well him constantly harping on about the "bumpy track" at that place in Kent where uniquely his lot were the ONLY Conference side never to record a win... What I miss most about Plough Lane '02 - '05 were all the good friends we had there, the friendly banter among the large crowd and the general sense of good feeling around the place. These are clearly things Rob wouldn't be missing from his also sadly sadly defunct track!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Another (very) popular rider at Plough Lane was Gavin Hedge, yet another second generation Don! Gavin unluckily broke both wrists in a nasty fall against Wolverhampton (in 2003 or 2004?) and never came back. He was a real trier who could beat the best (and lose to the worst!) in traditional Wimbledon style. Controversially, I'd have him in my team every time ahead of Dan Giffard. Whilst Giffard's average was much higher, I don't recall him ever getting the better of a rider who he wasn't expected to beat. (Hope that last bit makes sense!). What about Marc Norris?? Someone with talent but dare I say it not having all the spanners in the toolbox... The great enigma Justin Elkins could merit an entire discussion topic of his own. I recall an imperious 18 point maximum in 2002 against Newport followed by "nil point" the following week! When Weymouth made their first visit to SW17 in 2004 for the splendidly titled "Trevor Hedge Cup sponsored by Trevor Hedge Racing" Justin was the Wildcats No1 rider. Sadly he never made it past the first bend in at least 3 rides. Finally, the guys in the original Consortium were a tremendous bunch of people. On the day of the Sky televised U21 Test Match v Sweden in 2003 a couple of us decked out the Centre Green in Union Flags and Swedish flags. It really looked the part. The esteemed programme editor even mamanged to get the Speedway Star Sweden correspondent to write an welcome article in Swedish in the programme. As Derek says, happy days and many happy memories.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 STILL WAITING FOR YOUR APOLOGY ABOUT THE DERBYSHIRE DALES.......................IN PUBLIC Hmm, here goes.. I, Parsloes (sic) being of sound mind (well that's wrong for starters!! ) do hereby concede that in the Peak District hides away an area known to postcard manufacurers as the 'Derbyshire Dales'. Most softie southerners like me have only heard of three types of Dales before: the more famous Yorkshire variety; Mrs Dale of Diary fame; and Jim, star of Carry On Up The Khyber.. Many thanks are due to ageing geography teacher M. Moseley esq. for imparting this life-changing new piece of information. The number of puns relating to Dales which will as a result be appearing in NL progs from now 'til eternity can, of course, be blamed on said Mr. Mimmo!!!
