Glasgow 22 6 2 14 14

The Exeter v Sheffield meeting was twice rained off and the PSPA awarded each team one point.

The Speedway Star reported that Cyril Roger wasn’t prepared to ride in the Provincial League as he wanted to take part in grass tracking and trials events during the winter and didn’t want to risk being banned by the ACU for riding “black”. It was also claimed he would be riding again the following year – strangely enough he didn’t !

December

The much awaited Lord Shawcross enquiry into the Provincial League / National League split was finally convened and it made the following recommendations

All suspensions were to be lifted. Provincial League riders could now have their ACU licences reinstated allowing them to compete in winter trials and grass track meetings – Cyril Roger please note!
There would be one league of eighteen teams – the teams who finished the 1964 season, twelve from the Provincial League and six from the National League.
No commuting foreigners were to be allowed
A new Control Board was to be formed with promoters having a far greater say in all decisions. This was a major victory for the Provincial League promoters who previously had practically no input at all.

The Speedway Star reported that Willie Templeton would like a transfer to Glasgow. This was not at all surprising, as he had averaged about eight points a meeting in seven appearances at the White City, considerably better than his average of nearly six with Edinburgh. Ian Hoskins said that Dave Younghusband and Eric Boocock were interested in joining Edinburgh. Reg Fearman’s comments on this proposal were not recorded! Possibly Hoskins was hoping to arrange a three way swap which would have seen Willie Templeton go to Glasgow, Ray Cresp, a Redmond asset, go to Long Eaton who would then have sent either Younghusband or Boocock to Edinburgh.
