News and Updates

February 9

Massive thanks are due to Pete Henry who has put a huge amount of work into completing the 1992 season results. This has been a mammoth effort and we can’t thank him enough for his dedication and time. This gives us season files for 1928-48, 1965 to 1985 and 1991 to 1992.

Also new this week are three more Reading files from Mark Aspinell and the welcome return to the site of Dave Allen who has provided a link to over 800 programmes from the 1978 season which is available on the 1978 page on the season by season section.

A really good update this week as Gary Done has completed the 1950 results file that he’s been quietly working away on and this adds another season to the list where we have the results all in one place. Many thanks to Gary and also to Mark Aspinell who has completed the 2025 files. I have put them on the site, apart from the Birmingham NDL team who need a new badge creating. I’ll try and sort this out for next time. Mark has also completed a new Reading file.

Also this week are some good updates, including the latest Wembley installment.

An appeal…

Paul Simpson, a lifelong collector of speedway programmes had his speedway programme collection stolen on 23rd April from his home near Edinburgh.

The programmes date back to 1928

The collection includes programmes from rarely seen UK tracks such as Edinburgh Marine Gardens, Rochdale, Perry Barr, Glasgow Ibrox, Rotherham, Smallford, and Portsmouth.

Also stolen were all 3 pre war World Final programmes along with many pre war Internationals, and some early pre war foreign programmes

If anyone hears about programmes being offered around please get in touch with police in Broxburn by calling 101. The Police Scotland (Broxburn) Incident number is 1334.

Alternatively, contact Matt or Jim and we will pass on any information.

Thanks this week to Mark Aspinell for the Reading files.
