A rejuvenated Mildenhall team will go into this Sundays home meeting against Stoke with one thing on their mind ‘lets win it for the fans’.
The Fen Tigers nearly got off to a dream start under their new promotion of Keith and Jonathan Chapman, by putting in one of their best performances of the season so far and nearly beating a highly fancied Reading team.
This Sunday the Tigers face a less fancied team that are sitting in the lower end of the table and Richard Knight believes his team can pull it off ‘Sundays effort was tremendous and the whole team really enjoyed them selves, before we left we all spoke and they are determined to win this one, they loved the response from the fans and want to see the place erupt this week, they know the fans have stuck with them through thick and thin and it’s so exciting to think we have seen the tide turn and the team now have the potential to deliver the goods’.
The Fen Tigers have moved quick to replace Lee Smart who quit after Sundays meeting due to a lack of confidence, his replacement is the young Luke Priest who just like fellow team mate, Barrie Evans, last rode in the Premier league for the Stoke Potters, ‘I am so excited to get another shot at Premier League and I am confident that I can do the job, I know the team only have a few meetings left so we all need to make the most of it, work together and get some points!’ said Priest.
Co-Promoter Jonathan Chapman is looking forward to his second meeting in charge and urging fans from across East Anglia, who class Mildenhall as their second favourite team, to come along ‘last weeks meeting was fantastic and enjoyed every minute of it, the crowd was also fantastic and I could tell all the regular Tigers fans had returned, now it would be nice to see all the fans from other teams that have a soft spot for the Tigers return too. We are still running the offer for a £2 discount for the exchange of a ticket from the previous weeks meeting at either Ipswich, King’s Lynn, Peterborough or Rye House and hopefully this will encourage them to come.’
