moxey63 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is there any kind speedway fan out there, who has details of the following: March 31st 1984, Stoke v Ornarna What scores did Ashley Pullen and Steve Bishop register? Speedway Star (in the score details) has them down as Pullen 7 pts and Bishop 3. But in the heat details, Pullen should be on 8 plus 1 and Bishop 2 plus 2. Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks!

Alan_Jones Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sorry to muddy the waters, but Peter Oakes Complete History has Pullen with 7 and Bishop 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Speedway Researcher has the complete scorecard so it seems likely the 8+1 and 2+2 is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Jones Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Think Peter Oakes' book probably just has the info from the Star's scores. It is only when you go further, delve into heat details etc, that the head-scratching begins. Thanks for the answers, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 May I just utter a note of caution regarding the file on Speedway Researcher. Unless Mark has picked up on the discrepancy and had it confirmed from an external source (i.e. marked programme) there is a good chance that the heat results are a reproduction of those published in Speedway Star. If it was me I'd be looking to speak to him and/or have the results of the 3 heats involving Pullen and Bishop confirmed from a marked programme. Scorers taken from Frank Pizzey's 'Backtrack' column in the programme for Cradley Heath & Stoke v Rospiggarna 5/4/96 give Pullen on 7 and Bishop 3. Due to the nature of this forum I am compelled to add that Mark has been a tremendous help to me, not least with Rye House information, and I consider him to be a valuable and knowledgable contact. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve19620 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Just for interest the Speedway Mail also advises Pullen scored 7 and Bishop 3 points. Again I am not sure if the details were "obtained" from the Speedway Star reporter at the time, or are actually correct. I have spoken to Tony MacDonald (the editor of the Speedway Mail) about this and he did confirm that for several tracks the same reporter was also employed by the Speedway Star, therefore potentially duplicating any "errors" ! No heat results were published in the Mail to advise, as mentioned by Dave a marked programme is required to clarify.
