It seems British promoters have little interest in keeping their fans informed when rumours appear, I read about Schlein's retirement on here before Berwick announced it, same with Boughen leaving Oxford, same with Edwards being announced at Redcar in the Speedway Star but not by Redcar. Like you said when Birmingham signed Ellis it wasn't announced as a temp signing.

Well with the latest post from Mildenhall, it looks like nothing is insurmountable. That is great news. Now lets hope all the 3.1k Mildenhall Fen Tigers Speedway Facebook followers can contribute a little to bring back a much loved and missed speedway track and team.

Makes sense thank you 

I would put that with, the cheques in the post, we stand with WASPI women, etc etc, all of the hollow promises which help another agenda, personally I would love it to happen and if above NDL level would make effort to attend frequently, but the cynical side of me thinks "it ain't going to happen" and Abbey stadium will get built on before a single league meeting takes place at the new venue ? 

Latest post from Mildenhall   ****message alert***** Mildenhall co facilitators Steve Ribbons and Kieran Phillips have given a joint statement of where the current plans are working towards the return of speedway to West Row.  In a shared statement they said. “The community interest company has now been set up. For those that do not know a community company means that all funds stay within the company and none are given to the owners or shareholders, thus, all monies at Mildenhall speedway stays at Mildenhall speedway”.  “Next, we now have a bank account for the company and the details are below. Consequently, we now ask for those supporters who pledged money to send it by bank transfer, but please make sure you have filled in a supporters trust form which are available on our web site to go along with you donation so that we can recognise and allocate it.”  “Subsequently, as you may be aware, we have an issue with the new stock car fence, which, to be fair to spedeworth is constructed for stock car meetings and not for speedway. But being built solidly is not conducive to speedway racing as speedway riders and a hard surface do not make for good bed - fellows! “ But, following an impromptu meeting after the track inspection by Mick Bates, (the speedway control Bureau track inspector) who raised a number of issues, Steve has been working on a number of solutions.  Ribbons said, “I found the contact number for Champion products who make the foam blocks used at Berwick Glasgow Scunthorpe and Kings Lynn speedways,  which Mick Bates said would be needed if speedway is to return to Mildenhall and that the existing air fence is now redundant plus a cover for the uprights of my own design.. a tea cosy for want of a better word. This the covers the majority of the problems along with possible fitting a slightly taller kick board to the wooden pallets of the existing safety fence to raise its height slightly”. Subsequently we are waiting on a price from the manufacturers of the foam blocks.  However,  this equipment comes at a cost. …A considerable thousands of pounds cost!  Kieran Phillips said “ as a Mildenhall fan and a speedway fan. I passionately want this venture to succeed as we are trailblazers in the sport and although finance options are available it is a simple matter of the more cash pledges we can raise the less the company has to borrow!”  “We are looking at a business model of depreciating the fence over four or more years. Consequently, it won’t have to be paid back all at once. Now is the time for all Mildenhall and all speedway supporters to step up if we want the team back. Myself,  Steve and the committee believe the product we aim to bring over the next 3 years can secure us all speedway at West Row, with the changing of the race day we aim to bring the fans back in and indeed the families for the Saturday night action, running alongside that we hope to unearth new talent with our various practice sessions and training schools on a Sunday ,in time we would like to apply for championship status although that's some way off its certainly not out of the question, But obviously we need to make sure we tick all the boxes that the control bureau ask us to, too start with.” It is therefore we start fund raising now.  Bank account details Zempler Bank Account number - 13111289  Sort code 08-71-99 Account name - Mildenhall Speedway Supporters CIC.
