As someone has said, some great riders in that 1971 line-up.

 

1973. Mike Broadbanks, Chesterton? This was one year before I strated going and I never knew there was a team called Chesterton! Presumably they morphed into Peterborough.

Or Stoke maybe, having Googled it. Remember Broady riding for Stoke, so probably more likely.

How is possible that Phil Crump rode for Crewe in 1971 ?

Not sure on what grounds you question this.But Phil rode 71 +72 for Crewe in Div 2 before moving up to Div 1 for King's Lynn in 73 where he was injured very early on and missed most of the season.But Australian + New Zealand riders could ride in Div 2 in the 60s/70s

Well he started at Crewe in 71 and got an average of 8.98 from 38 meetings.Very impressive as apparently he only started riding speedway in the november of 1970!!!!.He then rode 41 meetings and got an average of 11.13 with 21 full and 4 paid maximums in 72
