Aces high as cycle speedway club reopens

A sports club which was ravaged in a devastating arson attack has officially been reopened just twelve weeks on from the blaze.

Residents, volunteers and businesses who have helped the members of Wednesfield Aces, Britain's most successful cycle speedway team, get back on their feet turned out to show their support on Saturday afternoon.

And the club is now hoping to seal their remarkable comeback by securing the right to hold the British Individual cycling finals at the venue next August as they are one of just half a dozen clubs in the region in the running to be picked.

Businesses have donated £15,000 worth of goods and labour free of charge to rebuild the clubhouse while individuals have given hours of spare time to assist with the rebuild.
