Or at least one of your old pseudonyms No I am not a Mod on Speedway Museum Online. So far as I am aware there is only one person - a lady - running the website. What made you think I was one of the SMO Mods? I have however contributed a couple of items that appear on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor... Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I meant the moderator on the proboards forum link you shared a few pages back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. But the Proboards forum merely carries the same items (hopefully!) that appear on the main Speedway Museum Online website. And everything that appears on the original website is automatically updated on the Proboards forum because they carry the actual link to the original website. There is also a similar item appearing on Facebook - again with auto generated updates. Edited January 2, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If further essential corrections are needed to the item, written by Robert Rogers, please advise on here or contact SMO direct. http://www.national-speedway-museum.co.uk/wembley lions 1956 - 1983.html I realised the topic was about Wembley, where Ivan rode many times of course with much success, but saw the above post and so decided to comment on the first page I happened to view. Having built and maintained my own websites in the past I probably appreciate more than most the (much) time & work which goes into them, which I admit are the main reasons I don't bother anymore. Glad the info I viewed has been ammended and as I said, it's still a great site and one to regularly dip into from time to time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won by Jack Young who showed how he must have been 10 years earlier when he was arguably the greatest rider in the world. Still got my programme.

cityrebel Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 The last era of New Cross progs are worth about £2 tops. They must have printed loads at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have printed loads at the time. Programmes like all other things in life have a value - what that value is wholly depends on what someone is willing to pay for an item e.g. 45,000 Cardiff GP programmes from say 2010 they may not have an high value but is no-one is willing to sell their copy then anyone wishing to sell theirs will receive an higher price than it is worth just for the fact that it may be the only copy of this programme for sale and someone wants a copy of their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Apart from the league meetings in the short-lived revival I saw every meeting held at Wembley between 1965 and 1981. Great times they were too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Wembley really had such a magical feel to it... Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
