Fours countdown

BRITISH Speedway vice chairman Rob Godfrey is hoping the feel-good factor continues into the Fours Festival weekend.

Godfrey said: “The Premier League Pairs was one of the most successful in the history of the competition and the crowd was up there with one of the biggest the event has pulled.

“My congratulations to Somerset on winning the event and all eyes are now focussed on the PL Fours Festival, it’s going to be something special and I’m certain the fans will have a great weekend.

“Peterborough is a great venue for this event and I’m sure the entertainment will be from the top drawer.

“There’s a feel-good factor after a big weekend with the Pairs and Cardiff, with both events being so successful, now let’s keep the ball rolling with the Fours Festival.”
