This Is Speedway

The weekend will see the Tigers take on the league leaders on Saturday and the League favourites on Sunday. A hard enough ask as it is, but now we have to do it without three key riders. We expected no Ross Brady and Josh Grajczonek, but Shane Parker is not yet fit enough after his crash at the Premier League Pairs at Somerset.

Plenty of guests then required and below is the full press release ahead of the Sunday clash with the Stars, outlining who is riding where and in what position!!

Also a bit of bad news regarding the four team tournament at Workington too for the A-Plant Tigers.

Tigers’ plans go awry as solid Rockets performance exposes our weaknesses

Following an accident at the Best Pairs Competition in Somerset on Friday night, Shane Parker has since been released from hospital. The good news is that there are no broken bones, but he has severe bruising.

A further update will appear as soon as we have it.

Best wishes to Shane for a full recovery.

Below is a press release ahead of the weekend trip to Rye House, with news of the guest, bad news for Josh and the latest in the quest to sign a new rider.

Bandits high tail it outta town with the points

The A-Plant Tigers are taking on the Berwick Bandits this coming Sunday in a re-arranged Premier League encounter and it should be a classic. Nobody thinks for a moment that there can be any repeat of the 66-26 victory achieved over Newport last week, indeed it should be a fantastic battle for the match points.

Below is the full press release ahead of the clash with news of guests and rider replacements …. for both teams!

Bumper payday for A Plant Tigers as Wasps get well and truly swatted

Disappointment for A Plant Tigers in Wales

It is a great pleasure to be able to welcome the Wasps back to Ashfield after the tragic events of last season, and it is usually a spicy affair. This weekend will see both meetings taking place, in Wales on Friday and Scotland on Sunday.

Below is the full press release ahead of that encounter.

The A-Plant Tigers have decided to continue with the use of a guest for Josh Grajczonek over the weekend while utilising rider replacement for Ross Brady. As a consequence, Berwick skipper Paul Clews will become a Tiger for one night only at Newport while Redcar’s Ben Wilson will don the number 4 race jacket at Ashfield against the Wasps two days later.
