dukes Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 During the Golden ERA of Mildenhall Speedway they ran junior matches during the 1980 season. Looking for any details of the teams and riders. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukes Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 It looks as though so much more riding opportunitys were available in that period! Was informed today that at least 2 full matches involving the fen tigers juniors took place during the season, is that correct? It`s fantastic the amount of information the forum members supply and it is all appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now checked the speedway stars match reports from 1980, but I couldn't find any mention of full junior meetings meetings from this year.
