Mildenhall Fen Tigers

[1] The original track was built in 1971 on farm land owned by Terry Waters, with Bernie Klatt the driving force behind establishing speedway in Mildenhall.

[2] The speedway track was moved to a second area on the same farm in February 1973,[3] with Klatt and Waters opening the 300 yard circumference circuit as a training school for riders.

[5] After running as a training track, the Mildenhall team entered the New National League (division 2) in 1975,[6] with the first home fixture held on 18 May against Scunthorpe Saints.

[8] Four riders were influential throughout the season and scored heavily, Ray Bales, Mick Hines, Melvyn Taylor and Robert Henry averaged between 9.51 and 8.87 respectively.

The bad weather meant that the Fen Tigers were unable to hold their final home fixture before the 1 November deadline and finished runner-up to Sheffield Prowlers, with both teams on 31 points.

Lifelong supporter Simon Barton bought a major shareholding in the club until the promotion sold to Keith & Jonathan Chapman in August 2008.

[20] After dominating the league standings during the 2018 season, the Tigers were unlucky to lose the play-off final to Eastbourne Eagles, although some consolation was found in winning the National Trophy.
