Eastbourne V Ellesmere Port (bl2) 1974

[steve19620]

Hi there.

 

As part of my research into the 1974 season I am trying to confirm the correct heat placings for the Gunners Duncan Meredith & Colin Goad in this meeting raced on 7 April 1974 at Eastbourne.

 

Both the Speedway Star & Speedway Mail states that Duncan Meredith & Colin Goad scored 7 and 5 points respectively, yet the heat details published in the Speedway Star advise both riders scored 6 points.

 

Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct placings ?

 

Thanks for reading.

I have them as Colin Goad 5 and Duncan Meredith 7

 

Goad Heat 3 2 points Heat 7 1 paid 2 Heats 10 and 12 1 point 2 1 1 1 Total 5

 

Meredith Heat 2 2 paid 3 Heat 6 3 points Heat 7 2 points Heat 9 and 12 two lasts. 23200 Total 7

 

It would seem Heat 7 is where the confusion might have occurred as they both finished in scoring positions after Martin Yeates was excluded.

 

Hope that helps. It's nice to think of something pleasant rather than what earthquake damaged ruin I'm going to be trying to fix today
