KevH Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Can someone please confirm that the only Test Matches involving an England or GB team in 1997 was the series against Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark cox Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Im sorry Kevin I can neither confirm or deny this statement, but am appalled that no one has so far deemed to reply to this question, this being a speedway forum and all. There is a rumour that a Lt Columbo is hot on the trail of this answer, and it will be just a question of of time before the full facts emerge...

Guest cheetahhawk Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I have a feeling you are right Kev about the test matches as I seem to remember seeing an England vAussie meeting at Eastbourne that year. Not totally sure, as that year we were somewhat dissolusioned with speedway in general after London Lions closing the year before and never went to very many meetings that year.

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Not that this is positive proof Kevin but the excellent http://world.speedway.org/1997/gb/ only lists one series of test matches (three tests vs Aust) in 1997. I can't find anywhere where it says they were the only tests though !! Interesting to note that Australia won 2-1 and Martin Dugard got a 4 ride "minimum" at Eastbourne. In the review of the Eastbourne test I did quite like the line .... "while the English collective somewhat resembled a group of individuals arriving at a party each expecting the other to bring a bottle...."
