Guest Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) ​Looking back, in the 1940s top speedway rider Jack Parker was refused permission to be promoter at Coventry.Guess what? The promotion was then taken over by MRS Jack Parker!!! Edited October 5, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E I Addio Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I think Pete Lansdale rode for Exeter whiles still promoter and Trrevor. Redmond ride for somewhere , probabably St Austell while a promoter .i think Len Silver also rode for Hackney. When he was a promoter there but got injured after a couple of seeks so it tend s to get forgotten promoter  Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

BL65 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 No-one has raced while a promoter since the British League era began in 1965 Eric Boothroyd rode for Halifax and promoted at Middlesbrough in 1966. Cyril Crane was co-promoter at King's Lynn in 1966 and rode in several meetings for the Stars that year. Oxford co-promoter Danny Dunton also made one appearance for the Cheetahs in 1965. Maurice McDermott rode for Exeter and Oxford in 1965 and was promoter at Rayleigh that year. Tommy Sweetman appeared for Wolverhampton and co-promoted at Rye House in 1965.

waiheke1 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Wasn't Ole co promoter at Vojens while a rider Seem to recall Ivan complaining about Oles influence at the 81 inter continental final when ole was a promoter and the meeting was completed despite riders voting 14-2 to abandon it (Ole was one of the 2) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Ivan was also part of the consortium mostly as a sleeping partner I believe who ran Barrow for a while before Chris Roynon (Adam's dad) took over. Think Bradford were also ran by a rider / promoter for a time in the early 1970's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't permitted to hold a round in Britain due to a BSPA's intervention denying them the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
