screm 7,992 Posted May 7, 2017 Absolutely horrible. Picked up grip coming off the 4th bend and hit an unprotected part of the fence at speed. Sadly for rider and his clubs Phillips has suffered a broken femur which will keep him out for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiegal 294 Posted May 7, 2017 Sadly for rider and his clubs Phillips has suffered a broken femur which will keep him out for a while. Everyone at Mildenhall wishes Danny Phillips sincere and genuine best wishes for a speedy and trouble free recoverry from what was a truly horrendous crash. Our thanks to the brilliant Paramedics, lead by Jason Gillingham, and the very caring crew and Doctors of the East Anglia Air Ambulance (which is a charity). The wonderful Mildenhall and kings Lynn supporters organised an inpromtu collection for the Air ambulance charity, which raised in excess of £640, We do thank you most sincerely. Full marks to Scott Campos for doing everything possible to marshall his troops in dreadful circumstances. Speedway is a wonderful sport, but at times like this we are all brought up against the inherent dangers of the sport Once again all our thoughts are with Danny Phillips at this most difficult time. james Easter. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunce 347 Posted May 7, 2017 Very well put James. It was a nasty one, and Danny's welfare was the most important thing on everybody's mind. A superb idea to have a collection for the Air Ambulance, which raised almost £650. Lets hope Danny makes a full and speedy recovery. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimmo 1,070 Posted May 8, 2017 Excellent posting from James Easter, and it's great to know that both clubs became so united together with all the events of the afternoon. Speedy recovery to Danny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted May 8, 2017 Although the work done by the air ambulance service is absolutely brilliant I think it might have been nice to see some of the money go to Danny to help him out a bit on his long hard road to recovery. I like everyone wish him all the best in his return to fitness ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Presenter 144 Posted May 8, 2017 I'm sure Danny's club will see him right and conduct a collection to assist him. The impromptu decision to conduct a collect yesterday (raising £650) was taken as everyone could witness, first hand, the skills and professionalism of all involved in helping Danny. Bearing in mind that the Air Ambulance services are charities and rely on donations to fund their work, I'm sure yesterday's collection from all the supporters in the stadium, will help in some way. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted May 8, 2017 I feel sure that a collection will be made at Kings Lynn this week to help Danny in his recovery. and probably at Newcastle his other team. Get well soon Danny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all hope for a speedy & full recovery, the cost of that Air Ambulance would have far exceeded the collection amount - but every donations helps & congratulations on your fine effort. Please remember speedways very own BEN fund will help Danny during his recovery which is why we should always support the once a year track collection & the all important BEN meeting @ the start of the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
