BRITISH SPEEDWAY NEWS AND FIXTURES 23.7.04
23 July 2004 - British Speedway Promoters Association
PETERBOROUGH will continue to race at the East of England Showground next season – but on a new racenight of Wednesday instead of Friday.
Promoter Mick Horton said: “We are delighted to accept the offer to stay
at the Showground next season.”
Chief Executive of the East of England Agricultural Society, Andrew
Mercer, said: “We were anxious to find a way of helping the sport carry on
in Peterborough.” CRAIG Boyce insists he has no regrets about dropping down into the Premier
League with the Isle of Wight.
The Australian has enjoyed a glittering career in the UK and made the
surprise move during the winter.
He said: “This is no easy option, the Premier League is tough and the Isle
of Wight have made me really welcome. I’m enjoying my speedway with lots
of meetings.” MATT Read has been told to rest after having minor surgery on a hand
injury.
The popular Somerset rider crashed heavily in France at a Long Track
meeting last week and chipped a bone.
Rebels boss Mick Bell said: “He’s desperate to ride, he really is. I’ve
told him to be sensible because he could risk some long term damage if he
rides too soon after having the operation.” FIXTURES FRIDAY JULY 23:
