WEYMOUTH chairman Phil Bartlett has moved to assure fans the club is safe – despite sweeping changes at landlords Weymouth FC.

The Conference League club rent their track at the Wessex Stadium and Bartlett has had reassurances over the future.

He said: “Their Chief Executive, Gary Calder, has told me nothing has changed and we’ll be racing at the stadium in 2007, despite difficult times for the football club.”

STUART Robson is the first name to be confirmed for Kevin Little''s farewell meeting.
Little, one of the sport''s most popular riders, will celebrate his 20-year career at Redcar’s South Tees Motorsport Park on April 5.

Said Little: ''I’ve known the Robson family for many years so Stuart seemed a good man to start with, I’m delighted he’s on board and more of my friends will follow soon.”

SPEEDWAY 3

COVENTRY have made German Martin Smolinski their sixth signing for the 2007 season - leaving them with just one spot to fill.

And he has an extra incentive to continue his improvement as he aims for a Grand Prix wildcard place in his home country in October.

Bees co-promoter Colin Pratt said: ''I''m very pleased and I feel he will be one of the strongest reserves in the League.”

SPEEDWAY 4

NEIL Collins is looking for a club after discovering that he wasn''t in Newport''s plans for the new campaign.

He said: ''This would be my 30th and final season in speedway so I was very disappointed to find Newport didn''t want me.

''I had an operation in December to sort out a collarbone problem so I would be 100 per cent fit for the new season and now this has happened.''
