Fawdon
RIP |
|
|
|
After a difficult 1982, Fawdon were
not to appear in 1983, in fact the Fawdon name would sadly not appear
again. The Scottish contingent returned to racing in Edinburgh, while
the other riders ceased racing. |

Newcastle decided against racing in
the National League, for 1983 they returned to Scotland as members of
the Lothian League. As the side would be too strong for the minor
league, two separate teams were entered. As part of a winter programme,
two teams were selected and rode 5 meetings against each other.
Incredibly, both sides won two meetings and the other was drawn, race
points were identical at 446-446. As it turned out there was nothing to
choose between them over the season.
The teams were known by their colours,
1) Newcastle Reds
2)Newcastle OBs
( orange and blacks ) |

These photos are from the collection
of Eddie Parr. Eddie is the father of two of the best riders to grace
Newcastle colours, Michael and Gavin Parr. He has also acted as
referee, secretary and statistician for the National League (North). This photo shows him in the white
coat with Michael Parr to his right. The meeting was a challenge against
Parkwood (Sheffield), and a strong Newcastle team won the meeting 98 -
82.

The 1983 season proved to be the most successful ever in the
history of the Newcastle Cycle Speedway Club. Both teams (Reds
and Orange
and Blacks)
took the Lothian League by storm. The
Reds were league winners, losing only one match away at Portobello from
the 12 ridden. Orange and Blacks finished runners-up by the smallest of
margins, 2 race points ahead of Portobello.
