No, it's okay.  But if you know the date for the 1991 D1 riders championship that would be a help, please. |

No, it's okay. But if you know the date for the 1991 D1 riders championship that would be a help, please. Sunday, October 20, 1991 at Belle Vue. I was picked up by my parents, after my first three weeks at university. I'd been drinking heavily the previous night, and only just managed to avoid being sick in the car. |

I ballsed up.  |

Schumi, I did go to the 1991 D2RC, won in style by future Oxford Cheetah Jan Staechmann, although on the night we were cheering for Troy Butler, spending a year on loan from Oxford to Milton Keynes. Troy finished third, coming up just short in his attempt to become only the second rider to win the championship twice (Joe Owen being the first). It was pre-university (where I picked up my drinking habits ), so I attended the D2RC stone cold sober. Anyway, the date was Saturday, September 14 at Coventry - is that what you were after. |

Guess what I'm going to ask now? Schumi, the 1986 NLRC was held at Coventry on August 30 - the same day Hans Nielsen was winning his first World title. And yes, I do know that date off the top of my head. The NLRC was won by Paul Thorp - who nearly missed the meeting as he almost qualified for the World Final as a National League rider, getting as far as the Inter-Continental Final. |

That would be October 12th, 1986. Indeed it would. It came a day after Oxford retained the British League with a 56-21 win at Swindon. Hans Nielsen won his first BLRC with an immaculate 15-point maximum. Nielsen ignored warnings from referee Paul Ackroyd, pulling wheelies in front of the Hyde Road crowd. Earlier in the year, Ackroyd had excluded Wigg from his final ride in an England v USA test match at Oxford for pulling a wheelie, thus dening Wigg an 18-point maximum for the Lions. |
