Reviresco Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 No mention of Romford in any of 1969, '70 & '71 (and West Ham in 1972). I've only looked at 1969 - 72 but the Rye House 'rider pool' looks as if it has a few e&o's, for example: I believe that Charlie Benham, Ron Edwards, Dave Kennett & Dave Piddock represented Rye House in 1971; - Pete Scanlon = Paul Scanlan, maybe. Crayford 1970: - Colin Cook = Colin Clark (shown as Clarke in 1969 - and as Cook again in 1968)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing out any errors in the team lists. When I have spare time I will edit corrections as where they are needed. Details of any missing team lists would be appreciated. Remember the majority of the team listings were compiled by one person, Bryan Tungate, who doubtless had no experienced person able to cross check his line-ups information. It must have initially been an enormous undertaking on Bryan's part? Edited October 6, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest compost Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I can give you team lists for the following seasons if you want ? 1929 to 1939, 1946 to 1976 (these are based almost exclusively on files on the Speedway Researcher website) 1977 to 1981 plus 1985 (based on the yearbooks primarily) 1989, 1990 and 1992 (based on the yearbooks) 1993 to 2009 (based on the Speedway Star, yearbooks and the Internet) These cover all League Teams and most non-League Tracks (non-League mainly post war and patchy in places) not just London ones. Let me know if you want any of it and, if so, what. Cheers PS. This is based on revised files sent, or being sent, to the Researcher Edited October 6, 2015 by compost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will edit these into the London Speedways website. Still needed are all the team squads and respective leagues and divisions for Rayleigh. In 1972, were Wimbledon, West Ham and Rye House in different divisions? Dons in BL Division One and Division Two for West Ham and Rye House?

norbold Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 West Ham had closed at the end of the 1971 season, but had a short reprieve in 1972 when Romford moved the Bombers to West ham on the forced closure of their stadium and, yes, they operated in the second division. But they didn't last long at Custom House and moved off to Barrow. Southern Rovers 1957 – Southern Area League (also appear to have gone under the name of Rayleigh Rovers and based out of Rayleigh) Eric Eadon Stan Clark Leo McAuliffe Brian Meredith Vic Hall Tommy Sweetman Neil Roberts Colin Gooddy Eric Ebbs Fred Greenwell Pat McKenzie Tony Eadon Brian Miller Ivor Brown Mike Lawrence Alan Pearce The Southern Rovers were originally a team without a home track as the name suggests and in 1956 had operated as a sort of wandering club using different tracks for their "home" matches. It proved to a be a very difficult logistical problem for the team and at the end of the 1956 season, it was hoped that they had found a permanent home at Earl's Barton in Northamptonshire.but when that fell through, Vic Gooden, the Rayleigh promoter, gave them a home as their Southern Area League team, Rayleigh.Rockets, had gone up to the National League. So they then operated as Rayleigh Rovers. After being out of speedway for two years, 1958 and 59, Rayleigh made a triumphant return to speedway, winning the inaugural Provincial Leage with a team consisting of Reg Reeves, Eric Hockaday, Alan Smith, Pete Lansdale, Stan Stevens, Clive Hitch and Roy Craighead. John Leggett and Wally Mawdsley also turned out for them during the season. The 1961 team had Harry Edwards, Reg Reeves, Bob Thomas, Stan Stevens, Roy Craighead, Pete Sampson, Geoff Penniket and Terry Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimbledon and West Ham were as stated (wasn't '72 the season West Ham closed with the promotopn moving mid-season to Barrow ?) Yes, Romford closed and moved to Custom House as the West Ham Bombers for the start of the 1972 season, but were able only to complete 12 x league matches in BL2 before they lost their home at Custom House and the promotion moved to Barrow. West Ham Bomber's last match was at home to Hull on 23rd May 1972 although they were due to ride as West Ham at Workington on 2nd June 1972 but the meeting was postponed due to rain. The Barrow Bombers first official fixture was away at Peterborough on 9th June 1972 with Mike Sampson and Bob Coles from the West Ham team riding.

The updates for Rayleigh are now only missing the 1960s seasons. Thank you everyone for your help. Edited October 8, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there were two Aldershot tracks. Any details in regard to these would be appreciated - years of operation, locations etc. This style for Aldershot would be appreciated: HIGH BEECH. Opened February 19 1928. Closed August 6 1932. Reopened May 2 1937. Closed August 27 1939. Reopened 1948. Closed 1950.

Reviresco Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 If you are taking Rayleigh up to 1969, are you going to include them from 1970-73 when they had complete BL2 seasons before closing and moving to Rye House? Having researched a bit further, I am pretty sure that the rider listed: 1968 Crayford: as Colin Cook 1969 Crayford: as Colin Clarke, and 1970 Crayford: as Colin Cook should more correctly be shown as Colin Clark and being the same rider who appeared once as a No. 8 for Romford in 1971.

Will get Aldershot details (covering 1950 to 1960) to you some time next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
