Mildenhall Speedway Press Release 01/25 dated 11/1/25 - Fen Tigers set to roar back into action in Golden Jubilee year Plans to revive Speedway at Mildenhall Stadium have been revealed . The Fen Tigers were last on track as members of the National Development League [NDL] in 2023 and the proposed formation of a Supporters Trust to bring the sport back to West Row, in what will be the 50th anniversary of league Speedway at the venue, has led to a deal being agreed to see racing back in time for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of one of the sport's longest running tracks. A Steering Committee was formed in the latter part of 2024 and a member of the committee went to the Aldershot headquarters of stadium owners Spedeworth International earlier this month and had a meeting with the Managing Director, Mr. Deane Wood. The committee member reported that Mr Wood could not have been more helpful and that there is a deal on the table for the Fen Tigers to race again in the forthcoming 2025 Speedway season. A spokesperson said, "We will be looking for a complete community effort if we are going to pull this off - the proposal is for a club owned by the fans themselves via the setting up of the Mildenhall Speedway Supporters Trust; this a model used successfully by a number of football clubs. Therefore the club and the team would be owned by the people who care most the most about it….the fans". The spokesperson continued, "We have made a formal application to the British Speedway authoritities to enter the National Development Trophy competition for 2025 - a league format which has five teams currently confirmed and so would represent five home fixtures. To these we would be planning to add an open meeting to celebrate the Golden Jubilee (50th. anniversary) of the club plus a couple of other challenge matches at NDL level. We have the basis in our planning of a solid team of riders not currently associated with any other clubs and all enthusiastic about riding for Mildenhall". Of the works ongoing at Mildenhall Stadium damaged by a fire last July the spokesperson went on, "The repair and refurb works are moving on at a great pace and Spedeworth have already announced a reopening date for their car racing meetings in March, so there's no concern about all necessary facilities not being ready for the start of the Speedway season". Supporters have their opportunity to hear more and to put in their input at a public meeting being held at West Row Village Hall, Chapel Row, West Row, IP28 8NY on Sunday 2nd. February with a 3pm start time. The Supporters Trust Committee's spokesperson concluded, "We cannot tell you how excited we are by this turn of events as most people were sadly in 2024 contemplating the end of the Fen Tigers; and we sincerely hope this excitement is reflected amongst all those who support Speedway in Mildenhall, in the East of England and indeed throughout the sport".

Belle Vue is now off MEETING OFF - BELLE VUE V KING'S LYNN Unfortunately, Belle Vue Speedway has taken the regrettable decision to postpone tomorrow's Premiership fixture against King's Lynn due to forecasted substantial rainfall and strong winds during the race time period. The club has given every chance and opportunity for this to change, however we have unfortunately seen no improvements in the forecast. Supporters who have pre-booked tickets have a number of options available to them, which are listed under our Abandonment Policy that can be viewed here: https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/abandonment-policy The re-stage date is provisionally set for May 20. If you purchased Race Day Hospitality for April 15, your booking will been automatically rolled over to the re-staging date. If you are unable to attend the new meeting date, please get in touch with the club at info@bellevue-speedway.com to request a refund.

Heavy shower for half hour before meeting start time, which had left town wet, it rained in the night and the occasional shower today. Correct decision. rearranged for May 2nd.

Yes there was a handful of Brummies fans at the meeting. I was texting myself. It was a close meeting once we started, got it done in just over 90 mins. Birmingham were right on form In the first half before Ipswich took the lead and won by 8 points in the end. It was a freezing evening, was in 4 layers, bobble hat and blanket on the backstraight. Enjoyed my first visit here, worth it.

Can Amy fixtures be moved for Bsn ones to be completed is their a set deadline for the group fixtures.

Can you take food and drink into the stadium? Also, are the seats on homestraight unreserved to sit on when you arrive, looking forward to my first visit tomorrow, hope the forecast doesn’t ruin it.

Each club is still doing their own press and practice sessions. Birmingham is on Monday 11th March from 1:30 doors open, with racing starting at 2pm.,

I hope it stays the same. Looking forward to that weekend with visiting Workington and Redcar for the big meetings, early start on the Saturday too.

The whole team has been announced today. Taken from Kent Facebook Page Kent Speedway Press Release 002/24 dated 18/2/24 The joy of six: fixtures & team members announced The Kent Kings revival under the new regime and NORA jurisdiction received a further boost this week with team news and a full programme of fixtures at their Iwade base. The six fixtures added to the opener vs. Eastbourne Eagles on 14th. April announced last week, see two other sides representing campaigns to bring the sport back to long established defunct venues visiting: with Thurrock Hammers coming on May 19th and then Rye House Rockets on June 16th. Then on July 7th. it’s the other NORA club, Isle of Wight Warriors in what’s expected to be a two leg challenge; before fixtures on September 1st. (slated currently as a London Four Team Tournament) and in October in what promises to be an exciting campaign for the reformed Kings. And there’s a familiar look for the Kent faithful in the sextet revealed as bringing back the Invicta race jacket to track action, with three members of the original Kings side of 2013 named. Club legend with a record number of appearances for Kent and way ahead as top points scorer for the club, BEN MORLEY will line up as number one – the twice National League Riders’ Champion representing the ambition of new club owner Steve Ribbons to field a very strong side. Joining Morley is JACK KINGSTON, now recovered from the injury which saw his season with the Kent Royals curtailed early in 2023 and he’s joined by a third ‘original’ Kings man from those Central Park days in the ever-dependable SAM WOODS. Then it's a case of best foot for-ward with the signing of Speedway returnee, SAM WARD. The Cheshire-based multi-discipline motorcyclist rode on the shale for Stoke Potters in the early 2010s before taking a 10-year hiatus from the sport, returning in 2023 on the amateur scene and now seizing the opportunity available in NORA racing. The Iwade track has for decades been the route into the sport for local Kentish riders and one of these is Ashford-based NATHAN HARGRAVE. Hailing from Ashford, Nathan was a member of the Sittingbourne Crusaders side that competed in the MSDL in 2022 and his career kicked on further in 2023, when he was the winner of the Second Half Championship held at the Old Gun Site track. Marshalling these troops as 2024 Kent Kings captain is Essex-based RHYS NAYLOR. The 30-year-old made his comeback to the sport with Plymouth back in 2022 and was Iwade-based with the Royals last term and now the former GB Youth Champion is given the responsibility of fronting up the new club at the Old Gun Site. He is looking forward to the challenge, “I’m honoured to captain the Kings this year and will do the best job I possibly can and help out the lads when needed”.

Ben Barker was announced last week. https://workingtoncomets.com/brennan-relishes-ben-fund-at-workington/ https://workingtoncomets.com/barker-back-for-ben-fund-bonanza/

2nd Leg will be at Oxford on Tuesday 31st October, hoping we get both ahead and good weather coming up.
