One of Super League’s longest-serving chief executives has warned that rugby league risks reverting to a part-time sport if there are not major and systemic changes made to the game away from the field. The Wakefield Trinity CEO, Michael Carter, will step down from his role at the club by the end of this season after 10 years in charge at Belle Vue.
After four agonising play-off defeats in the past seven years, there was a feeling among Belle Vue Aces fans that their day would never come. Despite being the oldest and most successful speedway club in the country, a whole generation of supporters were yet to see them win a league championship.
The Belle Vue Aces won their first British Speedway Premiership since 1993 - a moment the fans ‘have waited 29 years for’.
The Belle Vue Aces won the British Speedway Premiership, beating the Sheffield Tigers 90-84 after the second leg of the grand final. The Aces had lost four finals in the last seven years, and team manager Mark Lemon was in a state of disbelief in the wake of the win. Ad ‘It is elation beyond belief,” said Lemon Speedway GP2023 Speedway GP line-up confirmed as wild cards and substitutes list revealed04/10/2022 AT 10:50 “I didn’t think this could happen.
The Belle Vue Aces produced a fine night of speedway at Foxhall Stadium to take a significant advantage into the Premiership Play-Off semi-final second leg against the Ipswich Witches. The Aces have not secured league silverware since 1993 but look well placed to progress after a strong performance in Suffolk, taking the first leg 52-38. Ad Having lost Max Fricke to season-ending injuries ahead of the semi-final, Belle Vue’s deep roster showed their skill, with Matej Zagar and Brady Kurtz leading the way.
Max Fricke will miss the final FIM Speedway Grand Prix race of the season in Torun following a crash. The Australian was riding for Polish team Zielona Gora in their Polish Division One promotion final defeat to Krosno when he collided with visiting rider Mateusz Szczepaniak. Ad Fricke was taken to hospital and later took to social media to confirm he suffered multiple injuries which will rule him out for the remainder of the season, including the upcoming SGP finale.
There is still plenty of rugby to be played before the Super League playoffs start but here, in the stifling summer heat, it was hard not to feel like two of the competition’s burning issues went some way to being decided.
Even the Wakefield chief executive, Michael Carter, can smile when he considers the irony surrounding his club’s on- and off-field fortunes. For years, one of rugby league’s most famous clubs have kept their heads above water in Super League while trying, and failing, to renovate their beloved but decaying Belle Vue home. Just as success on that front appears to be in sight, relegation threatens.
