Youhave2minutes Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) So can all supporters of all teams post how many promotors have run their clubs. Defunct tracks included. Be very much interested who has the most. So Please name your club and the promoters who have run it over the years up to present day.

Thank the lord chapman didn’t for the clubs sake. It wouldn’t be a healthy club like it is now. Thanks for clarifying your club much appreciated, hope others supporters post theirs.🤞 Edited 5 hours ago by Youhave2minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly translated you mean that Buster offered to prop you up to tempt you out of your championship league comfort zone to bring the premiership numbers back to an almost viable number, which thankfully you didn't need as your club is well supported by fans and sponsors alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago SUNDERLAND 'SAINTS' - 1964: The dreadful duo Bill Bridgett and Mike Parker. We didn't finish the season. Lasted around nine weeks. They used our riders to reinforce their other Clubs. Wolverhampton and Newcastle. SUNDERLAND 'STARS' - 1971 to 1974: 1971 Len Silver. We didn't have a strong Team but at least we finshed the Season. Bottom of the National League. 1972/1973 Len Silver. We had a much improved Team. 1974 The 'downfall'. During the close season Len Silver sold us to new Promoters Ray Fell and Alan Chorlton. 1974 They changed our name to SUNDERLAND 'GLADIATORS' - not popular. Following that the Team won only two of seventeen matches and the new Promotors walked away around June. 1974 Elizabeth Taylor took over the reins, rather more successfully, and saw us out until the end of the season. 1975 SUNDERLAND never re-opened for Speedway. We had closed down for good. There has been no Speedway at Sunderland since. 50 years ago is a long time. As for Promoters, I have the greatest respect for Len Silver and Elizabeth Taylor. As for the rest, they were absolutely hopeless for our Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
