daveallan81 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Now at the business end of my 1978 season research, I'm hoping to plug some gaps in the list of non-riding and non-reported number 8's and meeting reserves. The list is far too long to post directly, so it's been uploaded here https://www.dropbox.com/s/gytjp02lzpj15kq/1978REQD_number8s%26reserves.pdf?dl=0 List is in club order. If anyone can provide information I'd greatly appreciate it. Edited June 17, 2015 by daveallan81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 For the Reading ones: 10/4 none named - I'd guess Underwood and Gledhill were reserves for all four teams and then simply allocated to the first teams that needed reserves 11/5 Bob Humphreys and Ian Glledhill (per blank programme) 19/6 as for 10/4. Note Humphreys rode for Bristol in the match but then started in the Poole heat of the 'Victor Ludicrous' 4/9 Henryk Glucklich (he did ride in 2nd half) 16/10 Kevin Bowen - named in programme also: Belle Vue 10/6 Andy Heyes - per blank programme (also programmed to ride for BV in Scot Junior Lge match in 2nd half) 3/7 meeting cpostponed Birm 29/3Stuat Mountford (100% certain), 17/4 & 8/5 Andy Grahame (named in prog) 15/5 Grahame & Mountford (named in prog) 30/10 Grahame & Mick Blaynee (named in prog) Boston 15/10 filled in prog has no P'boro reserve named Bristol 14/7 Derek Hole, Les Rumsey, Graham Jones (named in prog) Cradley 29/7 not named in filled in programme I have Crayford 19/9 Tony Featherstone, Richard Davey, John Hooper, Tony Garrad (named in prog) Hackney 4/8 Ian Gledhill (100% certain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Hammer Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 07/04 Bristol - Tony Garrad 10/09 Eastbourne - Mark Harris 15/05 Exeter - 17 Reidar Eide, 18 Bob Watts 01/06 Exeter - D Mortiboys 05/06 Exeter - Flatman rode in S/H 03/07 Exeter - Bob Watts 11/09 Exeter - Bob Watts 13/10 Exeter - Kevin Lock 04/08 Hackney - Ian Gledhill 13/10 Hackney - C Ackroyd 11/04 Leicester - Tony Garrad 16/10 Reading - Kevin Bowen 12/09 Weymouth - Mark Lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 10/09 Eastbourne - Mark Harris 15/05 Exeter - 17 Reidar Eide, 18 Bob Watts 01/06 Exeter - D Mortiboys 13/10 Hackney - C Ackroyd 10/09 That also answers another query concerning Mr. Harris' forename! 15/05 Bob Watts appears to ride in the #16 position - who did he replace? Can you say if he's been promoted to #17 or remained at #18? 01/06 Is this taken from a marked programme? Mortiboys doesn't appear to ride in the second half which I find a bit strange. If programme is marked, can you provide the 2nd half times, I know someone who would greatly appreciate them. 13/10 Ackroyd appears to be in the team at #7. Thanks for your help.

Falcon Hammer Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 15/05 No.16 Bob Coles 01/06 Taken from marked programme. Only 2nd half details are Mortiboys in Y/B race 14 in place of Molyneux & Gugliemi Y/B race 15. Sorry no scores etc 13/10 you are correct, was at 8, but Eric Dugard dnr. No other riders in second half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teesside reserve was Martin Dixon. Teesside 25/05/78 - Workington reserve was Andy Margarson. No reserve programmed for Ellesmere Port. 22/05 Can you confirm Louis Carr's score in heat 13? Speedway Star reports (ef, 1pt), pushed home perhaps. 25/05 I have Margarson at position 2 for Workington - who did he replace? The Teesside meeting works out as Ellesmere v Newcastle v Workington v Teesside but it seems strange that the home team are in position 4 in the line-up. Can you clarify this for me? Many thanks.

JoeW Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 The programme only shows Louis Carr has having finished in third place. Given the Speedway Star entry he probably pushed home. Margarson took all of the four rides of Arthur Price. The programmed team was Brian Havelock, Price, Robert Maxfield, Ian Hindle and Margarson. John Robson took Maxfield's rides. On checking the programme further Neil Collins rode in the Reserves' Scurry therefore he must have been the Ellesmere Port reserve. The home team were programmed at number 4 in the line-up but I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikingblue Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 15/09 (Bristol v Hull) Hull 8: Nigel Crabtree 29/10 (Ellesmere Port v Belle Vue v Cradley v Hull) Ellesmere Port reserve was programmed as Pete Ellams but he moved into the team to replace John Jackson, no reserve added to the programme. Hull reserve - no one added to the programme. The reserves race had Robert Craven added to the three programmed riders, assume that he would have been the Ellesmere Port or Hull reserve if required. 07/10 (Halifax v Hull) Hull 8: Paul Wood 28/10 (Halifax v Belle Vue v Hull v Sheffield) Meeting reserves: Halifax - Klaus Lohmann was programmed but moved into the Belle Vue team to replace Uno Johansson, no reserve added to the programme.
