olddon Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Fred Yates rode for Coventry in 1948 but seems to be forgotten by the club's A-Z of riders although his brother John does get a mention. Here's some site chatter elsewhere about the long-standing mystery. --- In oldtimespeedway@yahoogroups.com, "roobarb36" <roobarb36@...> wrote: Like Bryan Tungate, I also wonder why Fred Yates is not listed on the Coventry A-Z of riders?

But there does seem to be some sort of link problem because you can also get an 'invalid page' message and need to scramble around various guides on the site to find the riders listing. However when you do get to riders A-Z it would seem while riders are listed you cannot find individual points scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
