    Very disappointed indeed but not surprised. The cards were on the table once Ray said that he could not continue and he and Dave Coventry could not agree a takeover price.

     

    There is some chance of restart in 2011 although any prospective promoter will be put off by the gate figues published in this weeks speedway star, a drop of 30-40% on last season. Recession aside, I can't think why so many people have stopped coming when the team and the track are much improved on what they were in 2009.

     

    I'll miss watching the Tigers of course but I will miss all the friends I have made down there so much more, because while I can nip to Scunthorpe, Redcar, Buxton or Newcastle for a meeting I will not have the pleasure of their company on Sunday afternoons for the foreseeable future.

    i cant say il miss you ht now how many times did you hit my fingers while putting up the fence in 2009 , i think alot of the reason for crowds being down was the poor start to the season with off track events . i hope we can meet up again soon and ive send you a pm on mildenhall site

    the thing is Gaylestew if you know the truth now is the time to post it on here, in the past in speedway too many things have gone unsaid and hidden from the fans and its about time it stopped, people will say you should spare peoples feelings but the truth cant hurt you if you are in the right.

    I for one would tell all if i could be sure they were facts and not rumors this is business not personal and people need to remember that.

     

    what i was saying fentigers79 was i wish someone would post the truth here instead of us waiting day after day for the odd press release which by the time its printed its old new in mildenhall

    The situation at Mildenhall is very sad but let's also remember that Ray has suffered a terrible loss with the death of Jean. Unless any of us have been in a similar position I don't think one could understand how traumatic things have been for him.

     

    I've no intention of commenting on the whys and wherefores of what's going on, as - even though I have a modest position within the club - frankly I have no knowledge of them; and of course I understand fully the frustrations and concerns of personnel who (as I understand is the case..) are awaiting payment, but I do feel that remarks like this about Ray show a degree of personal insensitivity.

    I know Ray (only a little bit) but well enough to know how crushing the blow of the loss of Jean was and I do hope people keep that in mind when commenting on here..

     

    i do understand that ray has suffered a great loss but the way he has ended his time with mildenhall speedway is a total disgrace . i just wish the truth could be posted on here
