Dons chairman Ian Perkin is set to confirm the identity of "a well respected speedway figure" in the New Year, and stated that the gentleman in question has considerable experience as a rider, manager and promoter.
"Having launched a successful takeover bid to save the Dons last summer, it is obvious that we need a professional manager to take our club to the next level and devote the necessary time and resource to running Wimbledon Speedway," stated Perkin.
It is hoped that the new signing will be 'unmasked' at the quiz night to be held at Wimbledon Stadium on 15 January 2003.
