Guest Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Is there a reference site in regard to London Cup results over the years? I think the last match in the competition was in 2011. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, am I correct in assuming that at one-time in its later years the competition reverted from a knock-out cup and was contested on a mini-league basis?

Vincent Vega Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Dont remember it ever being contested on a mini league basis was one leg at Plough Lane and one leg at Waterden Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadster Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Was certainly contested on a mini-league basis between 1965 and 1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've seen a couple of posts regarding the London Cup now so I've put together a PDF with all the results I have up to 2007. These figures were compiled by someone else but I'd imagine they're 99% on the money. Some years there appears to be a group system, other years it's a final, and a couple of years Belle Vue won it (their second success saw the 1st leg raced over 20 heats, the 2nd over 15!). You can download the file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8gsdu5q3l70mo0/London%20Cup.pdf You should also take a look here: http://edinburghspeedway.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/london-cup.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes I have seen the excellent Edinburgh link in regard to the early days of the London Cup. The other link you gave is new to me - it really is excellent as well. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Was certainly contested on a mini-league basis between 1965 and 1968and from 1969 to 1971 minus wembley because of a lack of dates at the empire stadium. i'm sure white city had similar problems in 1976 to 1978.

powderhall Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 So it should be - I only did the list this afternoon I hadn't seen the Edinburgh site before, some good stuff on there, hope it continues to build. It will continue to build just now it's being revamped it looks a lot different but still loads to do. The London Cup page has more years added now. I cant remember ever seeing this forum before really good stuff on here. You guys are going to get fed up with me asking asking all the time lol..
