Hi

Not really sure how to word this request.

I'm trying to find out the fixtures not raced of teams which withdrew during a season.

So, is anyone able to take a picture, or do a scan, from a programme for the following teams and seasons ?

Hull in 1949

Nelson 1970

Oxford 2007

Sheffield 1951

Southampton 1951

West Ham 1972

Weymouth 1955

 

Does anyone know if the fixtures had been announced for Wembley in 1957 & 1972 before they withdrew from the League shortly before the League season commenced ?

Many thanks

I think I'm right in saying that Ipswich withdrew during the early sixties as well as Sunderland?

Yes Steve, I was just trying to keep the list managable.  1962 I think & of course there was New Cross in the PL in 1963.

Thanks Norbert. I noticed that the last match as West Ham was the rained off fixture at Workington on the 2nd June.

Yes.

Would you like the New Cross 1963 list?

The last Weymouth 1955 home meeting was a 39-57 loss to Rayleigh on Friday 20 May. The next scheduled meeting was on Wednesday 25 May v Leicester but this was not run. The change of night was to accommodate the same regular race night with Weymouth due to visit Leicester on the Friday - also not run. All meetings were National League 2. 
 

Hope this helps.

Wow, thanks BL65 really appreciated.

Re the Weymouth fixture list, I wonder what the date of the meeting after the 15th July was ?  The fixture list just says 'No'.

Thanks everybody.

I saw Britain's first stock car meeting at New Cross on Good Friday 1954. A memorable night - and they locked out spectators because a capacity crowd turned up.

I have several Bristol and Edinburgh programmes from the years listed and none contain a fixture list
