 Today we welcome Friends of Speedway as the latest SFU affiliate member. FoS provide the Voice, a publication for speedway fans to share their views about the sport, exchange ideas and memories and to encourage others to find out what speedway is all about.
the Voice is a fans' forum and is written by contributors who have no obligation to anything, other than their favourite sport, but they don't just find fault, but give praise when warranted and criticism where justified.
FoS are also active in supporting junior speedway, something which SFU have high on our own priority list. They have been proud sponsors of the Under-15s championship by supplying personalised race jackets for the series in both 2009 and 2010. |
