  • Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I'll Never Forgive
    THE VERY BEST OF speedway plus 2009 Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I’ll Never Forgive Kenny McKinna Quantum of Shale Extract Track Pix: Torun, I.M.S & More Milton Keynes: The Final Season Cardiff 2009: Newcomer’s View www.speedwayplus.com Milton Keynes...The Final Season In early February, help came from a most unlikely source - Exeter. Exeter promoters Colin Hill and Roger Jones stepped in and agreed a deal with Cheney that would see them run the team, while he retained control of the track and stadium. Jones, who had actually been sacked as Milton Keynes promoter by Cheney a few years earlier, would take control at Milton Keynes while Hill would concentrate on activities at Exeter. The Exeter promotion had a number of motives for getting involved. The Knights were actually their nearest rivals in the second division and they didn't want to become even more isolated, they also had unused rider assets that were of little value if they weren't employed and it's also fair to say they acted out of concern for the sport as a whole. Another lost track was the last thing that the sport needed - Wimbledon and Hackney had Peter Glanz just closed and Peterborough were only saved by the intervention of Peter Oakes and James Easter. At the beginning of 1992 the future of the Milton Keynes Knights was looking very bleak indeed. Milton Keynes was not actually the first choice They just had come through a traumatic 1991 venue for Jones and Hill. Their initial target had season which had seen them temporarily close been Mildenhall, where speedway had not been mid-season due to financial problems, only being staged the previous year.

  • 2021 Rider Index
    RIDER INDEX 2021 The following is an A-Z list of riders who are contracted to appear in 2021, at Premiership, Championship and National League level. NOTE: All entries for the current season are as per the declared team line-ups, but do not necessarily relate to actual appearances for the named clubs, particularly in the case of No. 8s and/or guest riders; (2) The symbol II after a team's name differentiates between a club's National level and higher league side, when more than one team was operated in the same season; (3) With regard to ‘Club Honours', riders have been credited with a contribution to a league title-winning side if they rode in 6 or more matches of the team's league programme - and with a cup-winning contribution if they appeared in at least one leg of the final; (4) The Speedway Grand Prix and World Cup statistics will be updated for participating riders after each round of the 2021 series. ALSO NOTE: Premiership, Championship and National League and Cup racing didn't take place during the entire 2020 season because of the Coronavirus pandemic. We have, however, retained the riders in their intended teams in the 2020 Rider Index for reference purposes, but those 2020 team listings have been removed for the 2021 Rider Index.
