Programme Generator - Danish League We've had a surprising number of requests for a programme generator that can be used while watching the Danish League meetings on Premier Sports. The good news is that we have been able to make one available. Special thanks to Terry Akiens for his assistance with this. We hope to have one available for the Premiership Pairs meetings later in the season.

Paulette Julia Graydon on HALIFAX - The Shay: "My dad, Fred RIGG rode for the DUKES, the Shay, Halifax, West Yorkshire. He was born 1925 and died 2014. I used to watch the DUKES at Halifax when I was 14 but shortly after they went to Bradford ( I think). I have no records of him having rode speedway in the 1950s. There was an Eddie RIGG ( ?) but don't know of him. I would love to find something with his name or details on it. Can you help? " Mark Halliwell on All About You: Andrew Mollitor: "Hi Andrew just seen your reply. I have been back watching for about 8 years. One of my daughters got me back in to going, we are in the South Stand as it exits turn 2. That's incredible about your sister and parents - such a small world." Tony Webb: "The Ipswich rider is 1957 World finalist Norwegian Aage Hansen. He is on face book. Aage was reported to have knocked a whole second off the Ipswich track record in an unofficial practice session in 1957 and scored 11 in his first meeting." Click here to leave your own feedback
