steve19620 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hi there. As part of my research into the 1974 Season, I am trying to obtain the heat correct placings for the Sunderland riders Vic Harding & John Robson. The heat results published in the Speedway Star show both Vic Harding & John Robson scoring 2 Points whilst the team points scorers indicate Vic Harding scores 3 & John Robson 1 point. Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct heat placings for both these riders ? Thanks for reading. Kind regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards Steve Hi Steve, I havn't got the programme, but I have it as Harding 3 pts and Robson 1 pt. This was probably taken from the Sunderland Echo report of the meeting. Hope this helps.

steve19620 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks Bob for your reply, this confirms that the heat results published in the Speedway Star are incorrect. Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting ? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeapingLena Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Steve, I thought I could resolve this for you as I have two programmes for this meeting.....but guess what, one has Harding scoring 3 and Robson 1 while the other has 2 & 2! The issue (as you probably know) is heat 4. One prog has Harding finishing ahead of Robson and the other vice versa. Sorry I couldn't clear this up. All the best, Phil.

steve19620 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Phil It looks like one programme is completed from the Speedway Star and the other from the meeting itself. I know that the points scores of 3 and 1 for the late Vic Harding and John Robson respectively are correct and therefore it looks like heat 4 is the incorrect result published in the Speedway Star. I have since bought a programme which confirms this to be case so it looks like my query has been answered. Thanks for your assistance.
