Not only an excellent Manager for many years but the way he has supported riders (especially young Aussies new to our shores). Maybe a slight shame that Danny's special announcement maybe slightly tempered by some of the forum contributors having worked out the likely signing of Brennan, coupled with Lisa's post about Brennan posting on X the closing date for his final club naming date in Champ for his win a beanie competition, which coincides with Danny to make a special announcement on the 8th. Could be wrong of course and it may be totally unrelated. Must admit I am more interested in our 4 point signing now as the other 6 seem to be known by either shrewd select posters in the know or good guessers of the team for 2024 It may not be a rider announcement?!

Unfortunately we are already out so have had to turn down invitation The exact wording in Danny Ford's email to sponsors is :- "Exciting Special Announcement" to be made! It could be a rider, it could be about the future of the stadium, it could be a new Sponsor, it could be a new additional co-promoter? Anything is possible!

Mike0310 660 Posted November 30, 2023 I no it’s not really my place, but I hope it’s positive news about your stadium, riders come and go but Wimborne road is iconic and needs to remain a speedway stadium. I have good memories of many many years ago playing football there and it having Astro turf for corners because of the shape in the beazer homes league, unfortunately the dogs went, the football moved but the speedway needs to stay. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
