Reading Racers Supporters Trust

[skydog]

Please read the following...We thought the rest of the Speedway World should know what we are trying to do. The Cradley Supporters Trust have very kindly been advising on making the best use of Supporters Direct. Someone has to try to get something off the ground... Watch this space!

 

BRING BACK READING SPEEDWAY
Smallmead stadium closed in 2008 leaving Reading without a Speedway team and The Racers without a track. I am working to set up an official supporters’ trust aiming to get The Racers back on track. After spending many hours reading various post on Facebook ("bring back reading racers") where fans had been reminiscing over their Monday nights at Smallmead, their friendly banter over heat 15 and discussing their favourite line-up, this brought back my own childhood memories of watching The Racers, the atmosphere was always electric .
I am looking to raise funds to help set up the trust using supporters direct http://www.supporters-direct.org/ unfortunately they do not get funding from the government to help out speedway as they do for other sports. This will cost around £1500. Once we have the trust in place with a full working committee we can look into finding land, sponsorship etc.
So please show your support and donate to get the racers back on track, support our fight because above all
else I believe the Racers still have a place in the world of Speedway today.

 

FOLLOWING Saturday's meeting at the Holiday Inn, Reading fans are now looking to set-up a Supporters Trust to aid their hopes of bringing speedway back to the town.

£1500 is required to start the Trust so a Go Fund Me account has been set-up to assist with this.

Other monies raised will go towards the Reading Racers trust fund. We have already raised £216.96

 

We also have a petition running;
