THE DEAN MACHINE

Cradley had some talks with Moseley rugby club last year which showed promise but after a couple of months and meetings it suddenly went cold on the Moseley side for whatever reason

Since the forum has had it rebranding, I don’t get notifications of if someone has responded,quoted or even like to a post anymore,I have to search through the topic to see if anyone has, have I got something switched off ? You used to get a number the side of the bell to tell you and you could click on it to see the notification but that’s gone now ?

Don’t underestimate the gaming industry, they have their feet well and truly under the agenda 2030 table

Exactly nobody knows anything official

And you know that because ??? Yep you are guessing because you have heard nothing,wolves need to make it official, let fans and any potential new promoters that there may be know that the current promotion have hit a dead end if they the case,one of speedways issues over the years is it’s my ball and if I can’t play with it then nobody else can, not saying this applies here but it does smack of it

Think you may have jumped the start there mate and gone a bit early 😉 but anyway same to you

Exactly, there are rumours all over the place, most are I presume unfounded but some are coming from not so much the horses mouth as the horses ear lobes but nothing official and that to me is contempt for the loyal fans, the thing they posted on social media yesterday looked like they were taken by surprise by the council notes, if the campaign to get wolves back is going nowhere then come out and say so

Wolves have posted this on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/share/1EC4thdu6q/?mibextid=WC7FNe

What do you want to come if it ? It was a business venture that paid off, they supplied a product which people wanted and brought, you may not like that fact but it wasn’t illegal, you can argue about morality all day long but that’s not how the world turns and I for one applaud they had the foresight to tap that market and give the cradley supporters what they wanted, you and all the other cradley supporters could of done the same thing but the fact is you didn’t

They could But they won’t, monmore will become available along with the fruit and veg market at the back and will be sold probably to the council to move their depot to, I agree with the rest of your post though but that’s a deeper issue that folk don’t want to talk about

It’s not being available now that’s the hope,it’s when monmore becomes available to buy as land or a stadium which you would think would be in the next 2 years as the greyhound operation will move to dunstal

That may well be true but has no real bearing on finding a new track now ,that venture was a few years ago and still no new track and the glimmer of light that are relevant today are stuck in red tape

There is considerable size land around wolves and cradley heath/stourbridge but for one reason or another it’s deemed not suitable for speedway or it too expensive to buy and if some is found it’s usually owned by the church and they are just sitting waiting for houses to be put on it and they will literally wait decades for planning, I was stunned to find out just how much land around the West Midlands the church owns,not all over ground either but also councils and councillors are 2 faced liars and say one thing to your face and do something different behind your back and just to top it all off speedway itself does no favours, there is no go to plan/manifest for potential new tracks to resort to when planners what questions answered, and even when you finally get a reply after calls and emails, what they send out is pathetic at best and doesn’t give the answers the planners request

I believe when the stadium gets sold for development we will see how we were stabbed in the back by the council, saying one thing and doing another, no surprise really

20 years ago maybe, not now
