* Note about Wroclaw match : The point-scorers shown above are taken from the Speedway Star 03.11.1956. | ||
Charles McKay has a marked-up programme of this meeting, which has different point scores and some different | ||
riders, though the result is the same. The programme has :- Poland : Malinowski 8, Kapala 8, Kaiser 7, Kupczynski 7, | ||
Teodorowicz 5, Wrozynski 3, Tkocz 0. England : Fisher 11, Hagon 9, Maidment 6, Brine 3, Broadbank 3, Maynard | ||
1, Wright 1. Can anybody help to sort this out? | ||
These programmes suggest that the series was actually
Poland Div.1 v England Touring Team, though it was reported in the UK as Poland v England. This makes sense, since the England team was both weak and unofficial. |
