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

Afte🃏r endless meetings with sponsors and marketing agents, one of the last jobs of the day was to see how the ne𝔉w Dons flags looked, fluttering in the wind.

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

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

This quest of the speedway loving pair to bring all the razzmatazz of the Grand Prix and the professionalism of the Elite League is ev෴ident in everything they do.

A deal has been struck with the ever-helpful landlords, the Greyhound Racing Association, to place a Track Shop inside the Stadiu♏m.

"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 check the electronic scoreboard. The massive floodlights of the Plough Lane S▨tadium burned brightly in the silent arena as David Croucher typed the following message to warm the hearts of all Wimbledon fans.
