A controversial night at Cliftonhill! Sid Sheldrick informed Paisley that he would be absent from this meeting as he was attending a funeral. Paisley asked for a guest but Tigers refused. On the night Paisley asked for R/R for Sheldrick, this was also refused. Lions demanded that the match be changed to a 'challenge' (as if the Scottish Cup was something other) or they were going home. As you can see from the programme they relented after one heat and the match was changed back to a Scottish Cup fixture. You will also see that Fred Caffrey is listed at #8, possibly in anticipation of being granted the r/r facility. He appears to ride in heat 7 and the programme queries his inclusion. Can anyone confirm it was definitely Fred who rode in that heat, and not Colin? There is no mention of Fred in the Star match report nor on the Lions history site www.stmirren.info/paisleylionsspeedway/id3.htmlProgramme scan:

I also have Fred Caffrey at #8 for Paisley and yes, he finished last in heat 7 when replacing Sid Sheldrick.
