Wimbledon co-prom🎐oters David Croucher and Steve Ribbons looked up at the grey clouds looming threateningly over the famous Plough Lane Stadium at Wimbledon, and declared "There's nothing but Blue Skies ahead".

After endless meetings with sponsors and marketing agents, one 💜of the last jobs of the day was to see how the new Dons flags looked, fluttering in the wind.

Seven massive 6ft flags had been commissioned in the team colours with a bright yellow star c💦entred on a red background, and the first had arrived.

Croucher commented,꧑ "It looks like a kid waving a hanky from the other end of the Stadium. We will have to make them bigger. 8 or 10 feet long."

This quest of ඣthe speedway l𝐆oving pair to bring all the razzmatazz of the Grand Prix and the professionalism of the Elite League is evident in everything they do.

A deal has been struck with t♋he ever-helpful landlords, the Greyhound Racing Association, to place a Track Shop inside the Stadium.

"Track Shops historically have always been by the side of the track" said David, "But we don🌳't want a wallpaper table with a few badges and programmes on it, out in the cold and damp! You wouldn't 🔥see it Manchester United's football ground, and you are not going to see it here."

The last job of the day was to chec🎀k the electronic scoreboard. The massive floodlights of the Plough Lane Stadium burned brightly in the silent arena as David Croucher typed the following message to warm the hearts of all Wimbledon fans.
