6 Joe Abbott 2 wins (or 3)

Heavy rain ruined this meeting. Ham Burrill 1 win

Squib Burton had ridden for Rochdale in 1929 and moved on to Leicester Stadium George Reynard 2

for 1930. His ability to do this was disputed by Rochdale who claimed that the Jack Chiswell 1 win

contract he signed in 1929 committed him to that club for several years. The A.C.U. Frank Smith (Res) 3

ruled in Burton’s favour finding that the Rochdale contract was for 1929 only. Costs

were awarded against Rochdale and for the time were very substantial. This affair was

a major blow to the northern club because Burton was then one of England’s very best

riders and drew the crowds.
