Tigers race to National League title
Mildenhall Tigers Speedway team were crowned National League Champions last night after winning their National League Play-off Final, 2nd leg.
Mildenhall beat Dudley 54 to 39, winning the final 91-90 on aggregate.
Speaking on the club website, co-promoter Michael Lee said:
– Michael LeeI can't quite believe that we've done this. I am so proud of every one of the team tonight. They all worked so hard as they have done all year and they deserve all the success they've achieved...
When we restarted Mildenhall two years ago we were determined to give our fantastic supporters a club to be proud of. Tonight we've done just that and it's a season that none of us is ever going to forget."
Speedway final switched from Mildenhall to King's Lynn
The 2nd leg of the speedway National League Grand Final tomorrow night (24 October) has been moved from Mildenhall to the Norfolk Arena at King's Lynn.
The Mildenhall Fen Tigers say a weekend of stock car racing followed by bad weather has made it impossible to prepare the Suffolk track in time.
– Michael Lee, Mildenhall Fen Tigers"When I saw the state of the track yesterday I sank to my knees in disbelief...
"The fog and damp this morning have made things worse than ever. The fence is caked in wet dripping mud, the centre is like mud soup and the track itself is no more than a mud bowl.
"The weather has finally beaten us this time and I can only apologise... But with no other dates left at Mildenhall we had no option but to switch to King's Lynn".
