Hammer Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just wondering why the Star got Mildenhall's nick name wrong on a full back page glossy colour team photo last week. If I was a Fen Tigers fan I would be miffed, it's one of Speedway's great nickname's in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Evidently they're not miffed enough to have felt need to comment. As to "why?", can I have 'mistake' and ''**** up' in any sweepstake, as well as 'no one cares'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to "why?", can I have 'mistake' and ''**** up' in any sweepstake, as well as 'no one cares'? How does the illustrious Speedway Star make a 'mistake' over a famous nickname of a club that's existed for 40 years? Oh and if you are so apathetic toward my thread, possibly don't bother commenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) ... less apathetic (or perhaps more bored at the time) than any Mildenhall Tigers fans, it seems... If it wasn't a "mistake" then it was a deliberate slight at an East Anglian institution, purely designed to create the furore that it has amongst the clubs fans. really, strange that, you wouldnt say the same with buster over the "stars" nickname would you! why wouldn't I? I have no association with King's Lynn & have probably been 3 times in the last 10 years - the Speedway Star has my permission to call them whatever they like Edited August 11, 2012 by Backless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25yearfan Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Mildenahll Fen Tigers is one of speedways most wonderful, iconic, and original nicknames going! Add to this the fact that the Fen Tigers nickname has been used by local teams in the Mildenhall area before the speedway gives the nickname even more clout! Shortening the nickname to just Mildenhall Tigers wipes all this out and "Tigers" on its own is not original! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
