Exeter Falcons

Exeter Falcons start the 2005 Speedway season with a match against Rye House on Monday 21st March. This will be the final year at their traditional home, the County Ground, as owners the Exeter Chiefs rugby club have already sold the site to developers.

The Easter weekend sees the Falcons in Premier Trophy action firstly against Somerset at Highbridge on Good Friday (25th), then away to Newport on Easter Sunday afternoon (27th) with the return against Somerset back at the County Ground on Easter Monday (28th).

This will be an exciting year for the Club as new backer Terry Russell has plenty of money ready to pump into the outfit, as long as the returns pick up in return. He has been heard to say that provided planning permission is obtained for a new circuit at the West Point Show Ground the Falcons are 99% certain to be joining the Elite League in 2006.

This is your last chance to watch Exeter riding in the Premier League at the traditional County Ground venue, so you should make the effort to go along at least once this year as Speedway will never be the same again for the Falcons.
