Newcastle 1984

[Gatwick Rocket]

In the programme for Newcastle's final meeting of the 1984 season on 1 October it advertised junior speedway meetings on both 8 October and 15 October. The first of these was also advertised in Speedway Star magazine. Does anyone know if these meetings actually took place and if so the results?

Here's a scan of the racecard https://www.dropbox.com/s/5tcl72ny5s94u7d/19841008_Newcastle_NESelectvHalifax_JCH.jpg?dl=0

 

Please note that heat 10 was wrongly transferred to the riders scorechart and Peter Clegg's points should read 1 2 3 2* = 8+1 and Ian Sutcliffe's 0 1* 2* 3 = 6+2.

 

The person who sent me the scan doesn't recall what happened with the 2nd half races as they just seem to peter out. Possibly ran out of fit and able riders.

 

There's also video footage of the match here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scO7opei7SA
