daveallan81 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Can anyone provide me with answers to the following: 11/6/78 Boston v Kangaroos Select - Roos include a John Dole at #6. Programme notes state "At No. 6 and on trial from Birmingham is John Dole." I can't find reference to a John but know of Robert who also rode out of the Midlands. Is this just a programme mis-print and it should be Robert at #6? 6/10/78 Hackney v Wimbledon (LC) - Wimbledon have a M. Harris at #6. Forename isn't included in yearbook, anyone know?

Barrycuda Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi Dave have found something about Ray Dole this is from the mid 1980's. http://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I remember Ray Dole but it's definitely not him - he would only have been 15 at that time in 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I agree with you Dave but at the recent Boston Speedway Riders Reunion one or two riders were claiming to be under age when they started riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatwick Rocket Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Dave,I would presume it is Robert Dole. Ray Dole who rode at Poole in 1985 was the son of Robert Dole as I recall.

daveallan81 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Robert Dole's entry in the 79 yearbook gives his date of birth as 2/8/1955 so not Ray's father, Ray being born in 1962. Brothers perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Don't know the name "M. Harris" at all, and certainly don't recall him riding for us. What I would suspect is that he was a Hackney junior we borrowed for the night. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
