salty Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Lovely stuff, particularly enjoyed the Paisley feature. Think Craig Featherby was a bit young to swap with Johnny Hart.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go to the Thursday night meeting against Berwick? The night before was the European Cup Final at Hampden - Bayern v St Ettienne - and the Glasgow pubs were allowed to stay open all night, a marked difference from 10.00pm closing in these unenlightened times. Couldn't get any of my mates to come along that night. Indeed none were able to come to the phone far less go to the Speedway. The night before was carnage!

Yes a big win for the Bandits but pretty sure it was 1976 so Colin would have been a Lion that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time ago it’s was 1975 when Colin got the Max.Berwick won 45-33,in I976 your right Colin was a Lion,Berwick won 43-35.Was there both nights though.Can’t remember what I done yesterday never mind nearly 50 years Ago!!!!!!. Keep up the good work though, great recalling the memories. Edited February 18, 2023 by Fromafar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
