Mildenhall Stadium

The Mildenhall Fen Tigers are a British speedway team, currently riding in the National League.^[1]

The club moved up to the Premier League in 2006 after twelve seasons in the Conference League when new promoter Mick Horton took over.^[2] In 2007 Stadium owner Carl Harris formed 'Fen Tigers Limited' with the intention of selling the Company Shares to the fans. Lifelong supporter Simon Barton bought a major shareholding in the club until the promotion sold to Keith & Jonathan Chapman in August 2008.^[3][4] Team manager Laurence Rigers was replaced with former Tigers rider Richard Knight. At the beginning of the season the club struggled to find a sponsor, so uniquely, the fans collectively sponsored the team.^[5]
