daveallan81 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Can anyone pick the bones out of this statistical carnage? All other riders points tally with all sources except Trevor Geer and meeting reserve Martin Yeates. Speedway Star match report: Scorers: Geer 6 & Yeates 0 Speedway Star match report: Heat details: Geer 5 (from 5) & Yeates 0 (from 1) Yearbook World Champ review (p.12): Geer 6 & Yeates 0 Yearbook Poole track review (p.153): Geer 4 & Yeates 1 Yearbook Trevor Geer biog (White City p.173): Geer 4 Yearbook Martin Yeates biog (Poole p.155): Yeates 1 1978 British Final programme: Geer 6 & Yeates 0 Marked programme from Poole (but could be SStar fill-in job): Geer 5 & Yeates 0 Yeates only ride came in heat 14 replacing tapes victim Neil Middleditch; Geer was also in that heat, finishing 3rd with Yeates at the back.

Grand Central Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have a marked programme from that meeting. Not marked by me but from the notes that have been added it seems obvious that the guy that did it was actually there. It has Geer 0-1-3-1-0 for 5 points and just the heat 14 zero for Yeates. The couple of extra notes written in are that Middleditch didn't actually break the tapes in Heat 14 he was excluded for crossing the start line with both wheels. And Colin Richardson was excluded from Heat 16 as he crossed the inside line with both wheels during the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An explanation for Middlo's exclusion was carried in the next Poole programme, the two wheels rule appears to be new for 1978. It may have been explained to the crowd at the time, hence the note, so I'll add that to the 5 & 0 list but I'd need confirmation that the programme was from the meeting to say resolved.
