Speedway ... more specifically entertainment ... has returned to Ashfield. Many thanks to everyone involved, not least the promotion for putting their money where our mouths have been! Anyway, thought this might be of interest to those who've worked hard on promoting the Tigers over the winter. On the first bend today I met a family who were attending speedway for the first time. All three - mum, dad and their son were really enjoying themselves. Mum was cheering on the boys like a good 'un! They had picked up the basic rules fairly quickly and were interested to learn as much as they could. I do hope they come back in the future. So well done to those responsible for bringing our sport to their attention!

i think that was the same family i was speaking to georgem, they really seemed to enjoy it... only thing we struggled to explain was what the tractors do when they grade the track (i'm hopeless at explaining things!) hopefully we'll see them back soon. the boy seemed very taken with screeny!
a beginners speedway guide sounds great.

Well done Nic! You both did a great job in making them welcome, great ambassadors for the Tigers!

Yes nic sounds like the same family! He certainly took a shine to Joe. It was a real pleasure explaining things to such enthusiastic people. They may even read this as I mentioned they'd learn more about speedway from going on t'internet. Hope they become regulars!
