brianbuck Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I have had the privilege of working with Tony Mole for over 30 years and can confirm all the good things which have been written and said about this quiet, modest man. He loves his speedway and has invested his money in saving numerous numerous tracks from closure even though he could have made much more profit by spending it elsewhere. His style is to employ someone trustworthy to run his tracks and let them do so without interference. I have had the pleasure of writing programme copy for him at Birmingham and he has never once changed a single word I have written whether he agrees with it or not. I wish him a long and happy retirement and thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he has done for us at Birmingham.

tonyd Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Mr speedway Tony Mole the man who time and time again has put his hand in his pocket and saved or resurrected so many clubs over the years all because of his love of the sport. The man has certainly earned and deserves his retirement and I for one would love to see him enjoying his speedway standing on the terraces without the problems and worries that must go with the promotion of meetings each week. I also believe that the very least the speedway authority's can do is GIVE THE MAN A TESTIMONIAL. Ok he may not be a rider but if there is one person who deserves one for his services to this sport called speedway it has to be Tony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Seems like Mr Mole almost saved / re-opened tracks for fun, he certainly saved Hull in the winter of 1997. He deserves some kind of reward for his services to speedway.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have known Tony for 20 years or so and put simply he has been the greatest asset that Speedway has had in this Country during that time. As Martin Mauger said he did seem to save and reopen tracks for fun but it does make you wonder how he can do it but so many others struggle. His other sporting passion is football and he has been a regular at Kidderminster Harriers for many years. Now there's a challenge!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
