The problems with the new fence is a short term problem that cannot be resolved in time for the Fen Tigers to return to league racing this season but it does not derail the project and hopefully we will see some competitive matches later this year and a return to league racing in 2026.

I dont know your story and often there are two sides and we only read your version but you persisting your vendetta from 20 years ago on a website which is about the fans getting their team back is sad of you or maybe if this project fails then maybe you at least will be happy. Please stick on this forum to helping get Mildenhall speedway back

All the money is for the public record so no need to fear your money will be accountable. "edmon" is right, take any grievances up with Mr Ribbons direct, what you are doing is falsely causing concern for others. The other option is put you hand in your own pocket and launch it yourselves. I await your offers. Still waiting !!

Well said secsy1

I cant believe "Round the Boards", "Norbold", "Haza" and "ch958." Firstly the accusation of Wimbledon is your version only and you use the platform to sink the Mildenhall project, so sad. In 1999 he and a friend relaunched Rye House without a home and from that success Rye House returned to Hoddesdon and ran for 18 years. He got closer to re-launching Norwich than anyone is 61 years He had already got Mildenhall back before and it was not him who closed it Kent Kings closed in 2022 and guess who not only reopened it, yes your nemesis Steve Ribbons, they played to crowds as big as 750 for 3rd division racing, it was so successful that Eastbourne are now running a league team at the venue. Oh and he was so bad at Iwade that a number of the staff have offered their help at Mildenhall 2025. If you all have personal issues with Mr Ribbons take it up with him DONT come on here with the intention to scuppering the ONLY hope Mildenhall have of returning to racing or prehaps you plan to reopen it yourselves?

It will be fine, just calm down stop and being pessimistic. The Fen Tigers are back !!
-
It will be met Normski, now everybody get behind the project if you can

Dont give up too quickly 🙂

MILDENHALL ARE BACK 🙂 Well done to all the genuine fans for coming today and getting behind the project. All it needs now is for the BSPA to rubber stamp their admittance to the NDL (surely the BSPA wont block them). For me, as a Rye House die hard I can now come on Saturday nights and cheer on the opposition except when Kent Crusaders/Kings/Eagles visit (I am still disgusted about what shenanigans went on in October down at Iwade) and I hope Mr Ribbons has his team motivated for what will surely be a don't miss evening
-
Spot on both of you. Good luck in 2025

First things first, the Mildenhall fans have a chance to see their team on track, as a Rockets fan since 1970 I would love that chance (I cant believe I am encouraging you guys as I by nature always support the away team when I visit West Row) but I hope you can group together and get your team back. I dont know the full team but I am sure it will be competitive and as all teams, riders become available during the season and they can strengthen as the season progresses.
-
See, isnt it lovely when fans can pontificate on who will be in their team instead of will we have a club, well all you need to do is to come on the 2nd February and make it happen.

Hi Ray Stadia, You indicate "your confused" can you please clarify what your confused about and I will happily help.
-
I was the accountant for the Rye House revival in 1999 and I can confirm that we actually made a profit and by the end of the season it was so positive that Len Silver took it over the following year. I will give you the benefit that you are misinformed and you dont have an ulterior motive to slander Steve Ribbons and if you were, could you please withdraw your accusations. To all genuine Mildenhall supporters this is a realistic and probably chance to have your club back so go on the 2nd February and decided for yourself if RoundTheBoards or Rayleigh is right.

Great news for Mildenhall fans and Speedway fans in general. A message to the Mildenhall fans, Steve Ribbons (a Rye House fan through and through) is prepared to get you back on track so go to his meeting and support him however he asks this is your chance to get your team back and as a Rye House fan (and dont forget fans of Coventry, Peterborough, Lakeside, Swindon, Cradley Heath, just to name a few) I know how precious that opportunity is. Good luck in 2025 Mildenhall (I cant believe im saying it but I do mean it) 🙂 R.I.P Kelvin and Ted David E

Just looking in from the outside it seems Ipswich want Emil but surely Artum Laguta is a better rider. From a Rye House opinion
-
Rob is right, Steve is putting up one helluva fight and hes not won yet but he has made significant progress. The opposition are learning the old adage "Its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in dog"

Dont be too hard on the Mildenhall promotion they drew the short straw today. The track was dry at 2.45 at 3.15 Mark Spitz did a lap of honour doing the breaststroke. I left at that point realising that there was no chance of any racing and only riding isn't speedway for me. I presume that the real motivation for trying to "get to 10 heats" was to avoid all the re-admission tickets (i was pleasantly surprised how many were in the stadium) for another meeting. This would have been a big loss for the promotion in an already tough financial year. As a Rayleigh then Rye House fan I am far from a Mildenhall supporter but I do urge fans to put today down to bad luck and continue to support the club through the rest of the year.

A big thank you for all of you who have contributed to a riders plight who has not ridden for a half a century. Speedway fans are a different class And if anybody would also like to make a donation big or small, its not too late.

Very sad to read about Allen Emmetts current plight. It was him with Maloney, Saunders, Brown and Nigel Rackett that hooked me into speedway for over 50 years. Well done to Tony @ Retro Speedway for starting a GoFundMe page. As I would have shouted as a 12 year old "keeping going Allen, dont konk out"

Rayleigh replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
