Wimbledon Speedway Press Release
16/07/02
*    Ex-Dons to be guests of honour
*    Brass Band to provide pre-meeting entertainment
*    Meredith lays over 420 tonnes of shale on new circuit
*    Share issue applications available on thursday


With the summer weather finally upon us, a large crowd is expected to
witness the grand re-opening of Wimbledon Speedway when Wolverhampton visit
the home of the Dons.

To celebrate the occasion, a trio of former Dons stars have accepted
invitiations to be guests of honour at the re-opening meeting.


Olle Nygren, the "Grandfather of Swedish Speedway" captained the Dons
between 1965-68 and led them to the first of their hat-trick of Knockout Cup
successes. Nygren was the first of the Swedish world class riders and
reached numerous World Finals. For many years he has been associated with
his riding school at King's Lynn.

Trevor Hedge rode for Wimbledon for ten seasons from 1965 to 1974 and is the
second highest points scorer in Wimbledon history (only topped by Ronnie
Moore). Trevor's finest hour was victory in the prestigious 1969 Wills
Internationale at a packed Plough Lane and this was followed twelve months
later by an appearance in the 1970 World Final at Wroclaw.

Bert Harkins, one of the most popular riders to have worn the famous red and
yellow  has also agreed to attend the opening meeting. "Bertola" had three
seasons with the London side in the mid-seventies and also rode with
distinction for Edinburgh, Coatbridge, Wembley, Sheffield and Milton Keynes
as well as a short spell in the sunshine of Los Angeles.

The 11 piece Fulham Brass Band will provide pre-meeting entertainment and
play a series of household favourites culminating with the traditional
"Blaze Away.." at 7.30pm.

Over 420 tonnes of shale will have been laid on the new 250 metre circuit by
the time the tapes rise for the opening heat. This mammoth task has been
performed by respected trackman Colin Meredith who has worked alongside
Wimbledon Speedway plc director Pete Gower in spending hour upon hour
getting the track ready for top class speedway.

Gower paid tribute to the expertise of Meredith " Colin is a supreme
professional and has worked tremendously hard in producing a top quality
circuit that should give all Dons fans a track to be proud of."

The Dons management would also like to publicly thank Swindon Speedway for
their support in allowing Colin Meredith to remain at Plough Lane this week,
so ruling him out from similar duties at Blunsdon this thursday. The Swindon
Sprockets can be sure of a warm welcome when they visit south west London in
the coming months.

Application packs to purchase shares in Wimbledon Speedway plc will sent out
to all interested parties this coming week. In this the first public rights
issue of shares involving a speedway club, shares are available in minimum
lots of £25 to all members of the Wimbledon Speedway Supporters Club (WSSC).

All speedway supporters are invited to join the WSSC this coming thursday at
the Track Shop situated on the first floor of the Main Grandstand where
Share application packs will also be made available for collection in
person.

Wimbledon Speedway PLC Press Release

Dons saved - Grand Re-opening on July 18th

*    £40,000 investment in new track
*    Ian Barclay appointed track curator
*    Wolves to be opponents as Dons seek first victory
*    Existing season tickets and re-admission tickets to be honoured
*    Members of the Supporters Club  offered opportunity to purchase
shares in plc


Wimbledon Dons, one of the most famous names in speedway, have been saved from premature closure and will re-open their doors on Thursday 18th July when Wolverhampton will provide the opposition in a Conference Trophy fixture.

A new company, Wimbledon Speedway plc, has been formed by a group of committed Dons fans following the well documented problems of the previous promotion, and they have successfully reached agreement with both the
Stadium Landlords and the previous promotion to bring speedway back to Plough Lane.

David Croucher continues as the BSPA licenced promoter whilst also becoming a director of Wimbledon Speedway plc.

The first task facing the new promotion was to obtain the return of the Speedway Control Board track licence, suspended in May over safety concerns with the previous circuit used.

After discussing a number of options, the new promoters agreed to sanction the installation of a new 250m purpose built speedway track to be constructed inside the current stock car track, at a cost of over £40,000.

The track should provide a number of racing lines, being some 12 metres wide on the bends with over 380 tonnes of shale laid down to ensure a smooth racing surface.

BSPA Track Inspector Colin Meredith formally checked all the plans and will visit the stadium this week to view the new circuit and hopefully hand back the suspended track licence.

Chairman of Wimbledon Speedway plc, Ian Perkin commented " The fact that the new company are prepared to invest over £40,000 in the installation of a new speedway circuit at Plough Lane shows just how determined we are to make Wimbledon a success."

"When the speedway returns on July 18th, we are confident that all supporters will witness a wonderful evening of speedway racing on Britain's newest circuit. At 250m long it should provide a feast of close racing befitting the luxurious confines of Wimbledon Stadium."

Further evidence of change is with the appointment of Ian Barclay as the new Track Curator. Barclay will always be associated with the famous Ace of Aces Grasstrack event which he promoted for a number of years, and which attracted a host of famous riders.

Perkin commented on his arrival " We are delighted to have someone of Ian's stature on board. His record is second to none and he is looking forward to the task ahead."

********

Wimbledon Speedway plc would like to confirm that all season tickets and car park permits issued under the previous promotion will be honoured for the remainder of the season.

Also, all supporters who attended the abandoned fixture on May 23rd against Boston will receive free admission to one of the first two home fixtures (either July 18th or July 25th) upon receipt of a valid re-admission ticket.

   *********

In a unique move in British speedway, the new promoters of the famous Wimbledon Dons have unveiled plans to sell shares in the club to the general public.

This will be the first time that a public limited company has sanctioned the sale of shares in a speedway club to supporters.

Wimbledon Speedway plc have formally ratified plans to sell up to 49% of the issued share capital to members of the Wimbledon Speedway Supporters Club.

For a minimum stake of £25 fans will be able to fulfil a lifetime's ambition of part owning arguably the greatest name in World speedway.

Ian Perkin, Chairman of Wimbledon Speedway plc commented on the rights issue " The Board were unanimous that true speedway supporters be given the chance to own a part share in Wimbledon Speedway.

" We are confidently expecting that a large number of fans across the speedway world will take advantage of this unique offer. The only pre-requisite is that shares can only be offered to paid up members of the Wimbledon Speedway Supporters Club."

"Membership of the supporters club costs £5 and details of how to join are available on the official Dons web-site: www.wimbledonspeedway.co.uk.

A list of shareholders benefits will be announced in the coming weeks with plans for an exclusive shareholders viewing area and bar at the top of the
list.

                *********

Following plans to invest £40,000 in a new speedway track, the promotion have reluctantly taken the decision to increase admission prices for both Adults and Students/OAP's.

Adult admission rises to £9, Students/OAP's to £7 whilst Children's admission remains unchanged at £1, with the meeting programme also unchanged at £2.

A spokesman for Wimbledon Speedway plc commented "After careful planning and budgeting it became apparent that we would have to sanction a small increase in admission charges. These have been held to a level that will help safeguard the future of the sport at Plough Lane."

Work Starts On Wimbledon Speedway's New Track

"Work is due to start today on the construction of a new permanent speedway circuit at Plough Lane, following agreement between Wimbledon Speedway plc and the Greyhound Racing Association.

With a similar concept to Arena Essex, the track will be located on the inside of the existing tarmac stock car circuit and will be approximately 250 metres in length.

A spokesman for Wimbledon Speedway plc commented " We are determined to give the Dons supporters a track to be proud of."

"If the construction goes to schedule, we envisage running our opening meeting in mid July."

THE LATEST NEWS FROM PLOUGH LANE 18/06/02

Following a positive meeting at Wimbledon Stadium yesterday, there is
growing optimism that the future of Wimbledon Speedway may well be secured in the next few weeks.

BSPA Track Inspector Colin Meredith met with Stadium officials and members of the newly formed Wimbledon Speedway PLC to outline the work required to bring the Plough Lane circuit into line with modern safety standards.

A number of options were discussed with one possibility seeing the
installation of a permanent speedway circuit INSIDE the current stock car
track. Measurements were duly taken and it was happily confirmed that a
new circuit would easily pass the SCB width restrictions.

Wimbledon Speedway PLC are awaiting costings from the stadium contractors before making a final decision, but remain positive that good news will be forthcoming. A very experienced track curator has been approached to look after the track and restore the reputation for exciting racing that was always the case up to 1991.
 

A company insider confimed " The past week has been very encouraging in
our aim to relaunch Wimbledon Speedway. The GRA in the form of Mick Hardy and Arthur Deveraux have been very co-operative and are fully supportive of our efforts to secure the long term future of the Dons."

"Whilst we look forward to retaining David Croucher as part of the
management team, it must be stressed that Wimbledon Speedway PLC are an entirely new company, with fresh ideas for running speedway meetings at Plough Lane".


End of press release.
