1978

[frenchy]

Hi,

 

Can you please help me to update my records covering the 1978 season ?

 

1. The yearbook gives a points total for Birmingham as 13 for the 4 Team match at Wolverhampton on the 14th July. However, it then gives Banger Jansson as 4-2, Richard Greer 4-4, Phil Herne 4-6 & Ari Koponen as 4-2 which my maths makes 14. Which is correct ?

 

2. I'd like the heat details for the abandoned League match between Belle Vue (20) & Birmingham (22) on the 9th September.

 

3. Ditto for the abandoned League match between Ipswich (18) & White City (12) on the 15th June.

 

4. Ditto for the abandoned Gold Cup match between Wimbledon (26) & Bristol (10) on the 13th April.

 

5. Can anyone give me the heat details of the 2 London Cup matches between Hackney & Wimbledon on the 6th & 12th October ? It looks like the yearbook has swapped Mick Hines scores over but I'm not sure who else rode that scored 0 in these matches.

 

6. Heat details needed for the abandoned League match between Swindon (10) & Belle Vue (14) on the 12th August.

 

7. Ditto for another abandoned League match this time between Halifax (6) & Exeter (6) on the 9th September.

 

8. Another set of heat details for the abandoned League match between Reading (21) & Halifax (21) on the 1st May.

 

9. Ditto for the abandoned League match between Leicester (18) & Wolverhampton (18) on the 12th May.

 

Thanks.
