Later in the broadcast BBC WM aired a longer version of what Nigel Pearson said. He went on to quite rightly point out that Dudley Council have done nothing to assist the club in finding a suitable site despite their comments following the clubs resurrection….”In the last 4 years Dudley Council have not been in contact with me or any of the other members of the clubs management team to sidcuss possible sites” A little later in the show Gary Patchett was on live & explained the reasoning behind Nigel’s comments regarding Perry Barr. He said that with Tony Mole still trying to get speedway back to Perry Barr it would be unfair to try & gazump him by trying to get Cradley there whilst negotiations were still ongoing for the Brummies to come back. He went on to say that all dealings with Ladbrokes were carried out via CVS & that Cradley’s tenancy at Monmore was reviewed by Ladbrokes on a yearly basis. He also went on to say that all 3 leagues clubs “ declaration of intent” would have to be made soon as to who wants to race & in what league & there may be further news on that on 2 – 3 weeks & that the clubs management were doing all they could to secure the clubs future...... I assume this to be following the promoters conferences in November. BBC WM contacted Ladbrokes for a response & they issued a statement that said they have got future plans for Monmore but for commercial reasons were unwilling to discuss them but they wished the club all the best for the future........ I took this to mean excluding Monday nights speedway. I dont know if these interviews will be repeated throughout the day during sports bullletins.

Yea that was my first thought Will, but Perry Barr in my view is still only a temporary measure. I would like to hear Ladbrokes reasoning behind this decision…..are they increasing greyhound racing nights ?.... If so I wouldn’t have thought this would generate as much income as a Heathens meeting..…or are they just happy to let the stadium stand empty Tuesday evenings. I think the positive thing to take forward is that Heathens management & supporters will not allow the club to fold again.

Coventry V Birmingham, 28 Mar 14
MAN ON THE TERRACE replied to Midland Red's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Even if this Polish guy does get the track sorted for next week’s NL match I can see another problem on the horizon. Next Saturday is the first stock car meeting of the season & although this guy is supposed to be a speedway track curator, stock car track preparation is different & will be totally alien to him, he won’t have a clue. If the track is not correctly prepared then the track base will soon be exposed early on in the meeting & I can see the return of the hole in turn 1. This hole first appeared at a stock car meeting back in either 2009/2010 & has made a guest appearance on a number of occasions including the end of last season, even the stadium stated that it had been sorted out. Before you suggest that the stock cars are the cause of the problem, they have raced at Brandon alondside speedway since 1954 & the track has only started to develop these problems under the current stadium owners.
