With the famous Dons now secure in their plush Plough Lane surroundings, Wimbledon PLC Director Paul Coppin paid tribute to the GRA for all their support over the past seven months.
"Without the constant support and enthusiasm of Mick Hardy, Arthur Deveraux and his colleagues at Wimbledon Stadium, our efforts last June to resurrect the Dons would have come to nothing," he said.
"Both the Board of Wimbledon Speedway PLC and the GRA remain fully committed to restoring the Dons to their rightful position as one of the premier speedway clubs in the world." concluded Coppin.
