daveallan81 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) I've been researching the Scottish Junior League for longer than I care to remember. The main goal was to gather the heat details for every match, meaning access to marked programmes was paramount. Consolidating the averages was the second stage of the operation. With press coverage going from the sublime to the ridiculous, some seasons (and tracks) have proved harder to nail down than others. Despite some terrific help from several sources and the constant chasing of marked programmes, I'm still short on crucial information that would allow me to publish the files with any sort of credibility (i.e. less supposition and guess work) so I'm looking for anyone who can provide S.J.L. heat details (no senior details required) from any of the following list of matches. It's a substantial list (probably best NOT to quote it when replying!) presented in CLUB order, showing date, main event, competition and junior match. Thank you in advance for any information. Even just one match could help a season fall into place. 30/05/1981 Barrow: Berwick v Exeter (NL) Berwick v Workington 19/05/1979 Belle Vue v Hackney (BL) Belle Vue v Blantyre 18/08/1979 Belle Vue v Ipswich (BL) Belle Vue v Felton 21/04/1979 Berwick v Stoke (NL) Berwick v Workington 09/06/1979 Berwick v Scunthorpe (KOC) Berwick v Blantyre 23/06/1979 Berwick v Canterbury (NL) Berwick v Sheffield 14/07/1979 Berwick v Oxford (KOC) Berwick v Felton 01/05/1982 Berwick v Middlesbrough (NL) J.R.H.

daveallan81 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thanks. I'm not so sure of the second set of results though. By all accounts Belle Vue won 10-07 and Butt was unbeaten on 6, Collier on 3 and Heyes 1. Strangely though the Teesside scorers appear correct. Any ideas?

AndyD Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 40 years on I can only go on the fact that I filled the programme in and all of the second half so I was there but I can't say with all honesty that it's right. I can barely remember what I did yesterday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Fair enough. The official scores could be wrong of course. All part of the fun tracking this stuff down though! None are listed above, but do you have any heat details from the Kenning Vikings 1984 season? There were junior matches staged on 26/04, 17/05, 14/06, 05/07 (full scale), 26/07, 09/08, 16/08, 30/08, 20/09 and 04/10 (full scale).

AndyD Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'll have a look, but between 1978 and 1984 speedway bars and pubs caught my interest more than second halfs. I tended to watch the main match and disappear somewhere else. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 No worries. As I said above, no contribution is too small. The 1984 details have proved hard to get so I like to take the chance to ask when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
