24 hours later and still cant believe what were seeing or hearing.. It just hasnt sunk in yet.. :-( .. Had a gruff voice just like Danny Dyer, and i recon all the Cradley fans loved that character and guy when he came to help us in 2017. RIP Danny.. a real legend and an honour to watch you..

At the end of the day... whatever has gone on... we WILL support our Heathens team OFF the terraces... and support them fully at Monmore Wood ON the terraces. We know they will give 100% whatever happens. The only losers will be the Mildenhall Management as 80 - 90% (at least 500 fans) of travelling away Heathens supporters will NOT be attending. They stand to lose at least £7000 in lost revenue from the Gate, programme, food and drink sales...etc If we win or lose...the biggest losers will be Mildenhall as when other supporters from other teams see what has gone on here...they will also stay away in droves..!

Dan Greenwood merchandise can also be ordered from my shop too...!

i just enjoyed the meeting and the sunny weather... it was good to take the win in the end and i think riding against us the Saints were trying just that little bit harder. To be fair i thought we were down on our luck at the beginning with BB packing up in 2 race, the cheer at the end though was for winning, not the 2 engine failures, let face it, we only managed on 5-1 all the meeting and were used to those at Monmore wood, so where cheered even louder when it was a 5-0 and a win.. A great day out and and a big Thank you to EWR for staging a brilliant meeting, & not running out of beer or cold drinks too..!

Ash, Tom, Darryl, Jon (gone) Dan (gone) Rich (gone) and Kyle... but we dont make the decisions, we just pay to watch the sport we love..!

Update today is that Kyle, Tom and Ashley are all okay, bit battered and bruised though, and are resting for a while.

Ive been to Cradley Speedway since the early 80's in the days of Ila Teromaa, Jan Verner etc, and on the terraces of the back straight had seen countless run in's with fans over the years, especially Halifax, Kenny Carter (RIP) sure knew how to wind up Heathens fans, Belle Vue and some local derby's were also heated meetings, it was all banter, shouting at each other, but no fighting...it was never like the football crowds back then, and it never will be. When 2 teams and supporters mix, there is always going to be an element of arguing who done what...ref's decisions etc, its what makes the sport a sport....2 teams competing at their BEST..! Seeing the new Heathens, a very young team at the most... (even Armo is younger than me....damn it...!...lol) they seen to excel wearing the Heathens bib..it makes us proud to be a Heathen as it would you too when you see your teams race in your teams colours..! At the end of the day, all you want to to do is see your team win....fairly , without any major incidents or crashes, and go home happy, have a bit of banter with the other supporters....but NO FIGHTING....we dont need this sport to go the same way as Football..!!

Totally agree Villiers210, Cradley and Dudley Heathens supporters are passionate about their teams efforts...and to see points being taken away by an official is a disgrace. Although i didnt actually go to Buxton, but i can sympathise the fans who did, maybe things did get overheated, but if Heat 15 did happen just like that, the the Marshall was way out of order and seemed to be picking on Ash..., you can understand why things get heated on the terraces. But to be called acting like a pack of dogs, thats just nit picking....its give and take from both sets of fans...words only...and no fistie-cuff involved..!
