Guest philherne Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I've heard from a very reliable source that Birmingham will be riding next season, hopefully in the Premier League! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philherne Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Thats very sporting of you SJW and its ironic that youve got the same initials as me! They're in talks with the Greyhound stadium at Perry Barr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Let's hope your piece of hot gossip bears fruition Phil. Birmingham has enormouss potential for speedway and should attract bumper crowds in a reopening year. You wouldn't be the harem scarem (but very sucessfull) Aussie who first rode in this country for the Brummies in the early 1970's. Cradley Heath Heathen's, Leicester Lion's as well as the Brummies are 3 defunct midland's team's that were well supported and would be sucessfull again if new track's can be found.

greyhoundp Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Lots depend on the MGM/Whoever take over Wembley Group,If it means Casinos,that means no Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjw ministerofport Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 The more teams the better that's what i say. Just wish there was some where for Cradley to get a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireblade Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I have my fingers crossed, would be great to see Birmingham back. Perhaps the Cradley fans could forget old rivalries and go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjw ministerofport Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yes Fireblade i will be going, but i would still like to see the old days of the local derbys return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatface Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 It would be fantastic if Birmingham did re-launch. I think its important for British speedway as a whole that the sport has a presence in the country's big cities. Also the "Brummies" is one of my favourite speedway team nicknames ever. Fingers crossed for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Just looked at the new Brummies website. - It look's great, definately a big help in the push for the return of speedway to Birmingham. Only one criticism, the website address doesn't make it very obvious that it's dedicated to Birmingham Speedway. Be much better with Birmingham Brummies speedway in the address to help identify the site's interest. You should try to spread the word around and get the Brummies site added to other relevent site's link's such as any speedway website, Birmingham City, Aston Villa football sites, Birmingham Council and any other Birmingham related site's. I e mailed Perry Bar dogs website the other night, saying how speedway could be sucessfull if introduced to the stadium. I stated about the benefit's for the stadium owner's like rent, bar taking's and basically utilising the stadium facilitis when otherwise they would be closed, the boost for the local economy in terms of extra revenue and employment prospect's and explained how Birmingham Brummise Speedway was well supported in the past and that much potential support still exist's in the area. If more people do the same then it will help interested parties to convince the stadium owner's that introducing speedway could be a positive move. The address is carol@perrybardogs.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I e mailed Perry Bar dogs website the other night, saying how speedway could be sucessfull if introduced to the stadium.

21st century heathen Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Fingers crossed. I mentioned some time ago that my bro had seen a display in B-ham library being erected that had speedway pics on it. Obviously the council are behind the idea. Â Can you imagine having the Midlands teams all back in action. Cradley, Wolves, Coventry, B-ham, even Leicester. Â I'll keep dreaming if you do.

suzuki star 882 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 It would be great if it happens, good luck to all those involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stansolo Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Thanks for the nice words 25y, the site is unofficial so "IF" one day the team does return the owners etc may set up an official one, at the end of the day its a speedway supporters site.

Addy Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 It would be great if it happens, good luck to all those involved. Yes , but it would negate the pupose oF of the new Toll Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
