Mildenhall Speedway Press Release 22/26 dated  080926 Double delight at Mildenhall's 'Magic Weekend'  There’s a double dose of Speedway on the weekend of 19th. & 20th. September for Mildenhall fans – with the Fen Tigers team in NORA League action on the Saturday, followed by an individual meeting the following afternoon.   The match opponents on Saturday 19th. are Thurrock Hammers – the formerly Arena Essex-based club are heavily involved in a campaign to bring the sport back to Suffolk’s neighbouring county and are giving great strength to that by bringing a side featuring no fewer than five Essex born-and-bred racers.  The headline acts are twice NDL Riders’ Champion, Ben Morley and a favourite of the West Row faithful, Alfie Bowtell. They are joined two other former Fen Tigers in Jack Kingston and Alex Spooner and Chelmsford-based Harrison Rogers.  The sextet is completed by promising teenager Harry Fletcher, who finished in third place in this season’s British Under-19 semi-final. The hosts welcome back from injury Sam Woods and Kenzie Cossey who line up alongside 2026 regular and new crowd favourite, the twice & reigning New Zealand national champion, Ben Whalley; and making his Fen Tigers’ debut, European Grasstrack Finalist, Mickie Simpson.  The final two slots in the Mildenhall side will be announced later. A supporting event on the Saturday will see the vintage bikes of yesteryear (classic names like Weslake, Godden, GM and JAP) out on track ridden by the ‘Blast From The Past’ riding troupe of veteran riders and bike enthusiasts.  The bespoke race jackets for this unique event will then be raffled off with proceeds going to Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust.   The individual to bring the curtain down on the following day (Sunday 20th.) is the HG Aerospace Speedway Academy-sponsored ‘Fenland Flyer’ – with 12 riders going for glory with in a High Noon shoot-out, 12pm start time. Leading the way in the 12 rider field are two riders who provided huge thrills in the last meeting at West Row: Simon Lambert and Vinnie Foord.  They are joined by Fen Tigers Woods, Cossey and the vastly experienced Scott Campos, who made his return to Mildenhall colours riding in the away win at the Isle of Wight last month.  Ashton Vale is a rider on the up and up and sure to be looking to challenge for the Fenland Flyer title; and they’ll be opportunities for youngsters to test themselves in the individual racing format including Archie Strong and Dylan Huthwaite.  The full field will be announced later.   Club Chairman Kieran Phillips is excited that the fans who have supported the club with such dedication since the revival under NORA are rewarded with two more meetings, “We are so grateful to all our supporters, especially those who’ve become Trust members, and all the riders too who’ve stuck by us and our dedicated team of very hard-working volunteers.  And the support given to us by the HG Aerospace Academy all year and most particularly for this ‘double-header’ weekend has been absolutely invaluable - we can’t thank them enough. “Saturday night racing has proven to be a success in terms of the quality of meetings we’ve put on with some excellent racing.  We do know though that some supporters have indicated that evenings are more difficult for them to get along to and have been asking for a Sunday afternoon meeting – we’re happy that we’ve been able to oblige and hope these fans who, for whatever reason, can’t always make Saturdays come along on the Sunday.” Phillips continues, “For those coming to both meetings there will be a reduced admission on the Sunday (gates open at 10.30am for a midday start time) – showing the programme and entrance ticket for the Saturday evening meeting will allow spectators to get in for £10, a £5 reduction on the standard admission.”   The meetings are at Mildenhall Stadium, Hayland Drove, West Row, Suffolk IP28 8QU with admission (by cash or card) £15; accompanied children aged 15-and-under go free. Gates open at 6pm for a 7.30pm start time on Saturday and the start time on Sunday is 12pm (midday) (gates open at 10.30am).

Thanks all 🙂

Get the feeling a 15 Point Max is incoming as well.

You🤔😂

Isn't that what most promoters do, off set speedway loses against a company, as very few Speedway clubs make money, apart from maybe Poole 

Who's available on that average?
