FEN TIGERS RE-NAME STAND

MILDENHALL will re-name the main stand at West Row after the late Danny Ayres in a special ceremony on Sunday.

Ayres, who lost his life prior to the cancelled 2020 season, was a favourite amongst Fen Tigers fans having ridden for the club in the ’18 and ’19 campaigns.

Members of his family will be present for the renaming at 2.30pm on Sunday prior to the home clash with Eastbourne, with supporters asked to attend early in order to share the moment.

Club promoter Greg Palmer said: “Our new Clerk of the Course Neil Southam spoke to me about the possibility of naming the grandstand in Danny’s memory, and we all thought it was a lovely idea.

“Danny was a special rider, one whose interactions with the crowd were as important as his race wins. He loved this club and its supporters, and we all loved him.”
