Skegness Braves

Skegness Braves were a shortlived British motorcycle speedway team who operated at Skegness Stadium, in Orby, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England, between 1997 and 1998.

History

In November 1996, news broke that Skegness could host a speedway team in the Premier League after a team was created by Peter Oakes, who was a promoter at Peterborough Panthers at the time.
The team entered the Premier League in 1997. During the 1997 Premier League speedway season the team withdrew and had their results expunged. Their final home fixture was on the 7 July.
The following season they failed to complete the league campaign again and withdrew after four matches in the 1998 Speedway Conference League. This time however their fixtures were completed by the Norfolk Braves.
