Bartlett's dismay as speedway is scuppered

Hopes of speedway returning to Weymouth long-term appear to be over following an alleged change of heart by the Terras.

Plans to continue racing at the Wessex Stadium were submitted to West Dorset District Council last week by prospective Wildcats promoter Phil Bartlett. But even if permission is granted by councillors, the Terras say they cannot guarantee the venue beyond September because they want to lay an all-weather football pitch where the track is currently sited.

Weymouth Wildcats could be back on track before the end of the season. That's the confident prediction of prospective promoter Phil Bartlett who this week hopes to resubmit a planning application to race at the Wessex Stadium.
