Tom Thumb Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Mildenhall Fen Tigers are on the road (and indeed boat!) next week with an away trip to the Isle of Wight on Tuesday 11th. August. Supporters Trust Club Chairperson, Kieran Phillips is looking forward to more success at Smallbrook after the Fen Tigers had a successful sortie over the Solent in their comeback year of 2025. “We’ve got James Shanes back in our colours after missing the last two Fen Tigers’ matches due to his Long Track commitments on the Continent. We know how well James goes at the Isle of Wight which is in many ways a track like those large circuits he excels in racing on mainland Europe. "Then there’s our Aussie & NZ pairing of Harry Sadler and Ben Whalley who having been brought up on the larger circuits down under should also do well at the IOW, the largest track operating in the UK. Boston-based Mickie Simpson makes his Fen Tigers' debut - Mickie has been in excellent form this season included joining Shanes in the European Grasstrack Championship Final later this month. "Completing our line up will be Harrison Rogers and, making a track comeback, Fen Tiger of old Scott Campos. I’m confident as I take Team Manager duties again on the night, that we can repeat our win there of last season” The Isle of Wight are one of the other stand alone tracks competing under NORA regulations - indeed they are the club who pioneered the move to NORA and Phillips speaks of the fantastic support given by the Ryde-based club, "We are really grateful to Martin Widman. promoter at the IOW for the fantastic backing that he's given us at Mildenhall in every way. It's been striking this year how the three standalone NORA tracks (us, IOW & our next opponents coming up at West Row, Kent) have worked together whenever they can to provide mutual support. It's the way forward for the sport." The NORA League match Isle of Wight Warriors vs. Mildenhall Fen Tigers (with supporting events in the meeting as a whole of Junior Racing and the IOW Summer Flat Track Championship) on Tuesday 11th. is at Isle of Wight Speedway, Smallbrook Stadium, Ashey Road, Ryde, IOW PO33 4BH - 7pm start time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Thumb Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 (edited) t’s second leg time to decide the destiny of the Pioneer Cup on Saturday (15th) - with the Fen Tigers looking to overcome a 14 points deficit from the first leg, held at Iwade all the way back in May. The Eagles come with a strong heat leader line up headed by a rider who, remarkably, hasn’t ridden at West Row for just a few days short of 20 years: one time SGP rider and many times GB international, Edward Kennett. He’s backed up by ‘Mr Kent Speedway’ himself, twice National League Riders’ Champion, Ben Morley and former Fen Tigers’ rider, Jack Kingston. Morley and Kingston won the Pairs event at Mildenhall in the last meeting of course. Top individual scorer in that event was Simon Lambert - and the multi-British Finalist lines up on Saturday for the Fen Tigers - along with twice NZ national champion Ben Whalley and there’s a return to Mildenhall colours of the ever popular Arran Butcher. Making a Fen Tigers’ debut will be Championship rider, Vinnie Foord.

Tom Thumb Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago 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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
