Mixed news for Exeter speedway fans

There is mixed news for Exeter speedway fans looking forward to the 2024 season.

Plymouth Gladiators Promoter Mark Phillips confirmed that whilst some positive steps have been made to secure the club's future participation in the Championship League next year, there is still a fair way to go before he can travel to the sport's AGM with the certainty that he needs.

The club's new Commercial Manager, Paul Swarbrick, has made substantial strides in securing financial commitments primarily from supporters and supporters groups and some new initiatives.

Phillips said he was immensely grateful for the support pledged to date from the club's hard core support to secure the future of Speedway in Devon.

However, the club is now keener than ever to reach out to local and national small, medium and larger businesses to explain the national and global reach that the sport has, the extensive televised and specialist streaming service reach and the opportunity to offer a mutually-beneficial advertising and corporate visibility packages at extremely affordable and competitive rates.

Phillips is excited by the switch to Saturday night Racing the Coliseum Arena in 2024. He confirmed that this will mean the club will be able to grow and enhance their already well established community programme, to encourage more families to the sport and also encourage more businesses to showcase their products to local families and further afield.
