Rob was a Scunthorpe supporter from the age of ten. He went on to be a mechanic for both Rob Woffinden and Julian Parr at Ashby Ville but like so many he drifted from the sport when his home-town club disappeared. Now the owner of the town’s Moorwell Service Station, his interest in the sport was rekindled after visiting the Trelawny track in Cornwall. He quickly opened discussions with the local council and eventually an area of grassland was offered on Normanby Road. His outstanding work ethic has helped turn that field into the Eddie Wright Raceway and, for the first time, given the town a consistently competitive speedway team. |

Stuart rode for Bradford in the British League (now Elite) and Long Eaton in the National League (now Premier) between 1989 and 1992 before deciding to retire after injury. After a long absence Stuart impressed in the club’s amateur meetings in 2008 and soon found himself riding for the Saints in the Conference League. He rode in half the club’s meetings and achieved an average just below seven despite riding in twice as many away meetings as home ones. Stuart also has many years as Jason Lyon’s mechanic and, with over twenty years in the sport, his experience and personality made him a perfect appointment as the Saints coach in 2009 and then ideal person to take over as Team Manager from Malcolm Vasey. |
