WEYMOUTH Wildcats are still waiting to be accepted into the NORA umbrella – six months after applying with the aim of forming a new breakaway league.

Wildcats were in 2020 told by the British Speedway Promoters Ltd (BSPL) that nomadic clubs such as themselves could not compete in league action.

Their last competitive race came in the 2019 Midland and Southern Development League (MSDL).

Fellow nomads Reading, Carmarthen, Exeter and Milton Keynes, were also refused entry to the 2020 campaign.

However, the Isle of Wight have affiliated themselves with the NORA organisation.

This switch cuts ties with the BSPL and Speedway Control Bureau (SCB) with the ambition of forming a breakaway league where nomadic teams could race competitively.

Weymouth applied to join NORA back in March but co-promoters Martin Peters and James Tresadern have been left in the dark by the governing body.

Tresadern told Echosport: “I was chasing them up but it becomes an absolute pain in the backside.

“People are not bothering to get back to you. Fortunately we’ve not had that many meetings to deal with.

“I spoke to Martin and we said to let it go for this year. We’ll pick it up when the season’s finished and we can start putting things in place.

“I was speaking to people higher up when I was waiting for NORA to ring me back, which they never did.

“I kept getting messages saying they’ll get back to you and never got the phone call back.

“It gives us time to sort ourselves over Christmas and get ready for next year and hopefully we’ll keep the pandemic at bay so we can get back to normal in the speedway world.”

It is likely Weymouth will have to pursue NORA and potentially re-apply in 2022 for any competitive league action.
