Wolves’ silverware on parade
Saturday 9th January 2010, 9:14AM GMT.
Wolverhampton Speedway will mark a decade of sponsorship backing by holiday firm Parrys International tomorrow with a flood of silverware.
The 2010 season will be the club’s tenth under the Parrys banner – and 2009 set the bar high.
Wolves won the Elite League championship, and that trophy will be on show tomorrow at Parrys’ base in Landywood Green, Cheslyn Hay, when the firm officially unveils its holiday brochure for the year.
But the club has also taken the Speedway Riders Association Track of the Year crown, with Fredrik Lindgren winning the vote for Elite League Rider of the Year.
Both trophies will be presented officially at tomorrow’s event, which runs from 10am to 3pm and will also see the new season racejacket unveiled.
And boss Dave Parry revealed that the firm will also be providing individual backing for three of the side’s young guns – Fredrik Lindgren, Ty Proctor and Tai Woffinden.
“Ten years has to be one of the longest sponsorships in the Elite League or, indeed, any of the leagues,” said Parry. “It’s important to us that it’s successful and Wolves have won the league title twice under our sponsorship.”
Lindgren, Woffinden, club owner Chris Van Straaten and team manager Peter Adams will all be on hand tomorrow to talk to supporters.
Lindgren will also be meeting fans tomorrow night at the Mount Pleasant pub, Wombourne (8pm) for a question and answer session.
