Islander15 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I n I didn't realise we had gone away, only that we were for sale. The trio said they weren't continuing but now they seem to have retracted that if they pull off the move to Monmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummiestormer Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Does this suggest that it was purely down to money they were prepared to close the Heathens down? Nothing suprises me in speedway anymore!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_t Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Does this suggest that it was purely down to money they were prepared to close the Heathens down? Nothing suprises me in speedway anymore!!(Probably)make money at Monmore or (almost certainly)lose money at Perry Barr.Sounds sensible to move back.What's wrong with making money?

Brummiestormer Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nothing wrong with making money it's just that they were prepared to walk away and close the club--don't get me wrong i'll be delighted with Cradleys continued existence and rivalry but it seems that money was there only concern in my eyes.

teaboy279 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Assuming cradley play by the rules of paying £10 a point then I can't see how they don't make money with the crowds size. If Buxton and stoke can run on very low attendances it makes no sense that cradley is not financially viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buxton and stoke can run on very low attendances it makes no sense that cradley is not financially viable. Maybe it is not if any profit needs to be split three ways and it is felt that the amount isn't enough when shared around. I can't speak for Stoke but at Buxton we are not taking a wage from the club hence why our definition of financially viable is lower than others.

bruno Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Not a fan of racing at Buxton and especially after an incident a few years ago involving Ashley Morris when the start Marshall was totally out of order,however I've continued to go when the heathens are there and reading jaynes comments il continue to go when we are there and will make an effort to go even if we fold.nice to hear that some run speedway for the love of it.thumbs up to all at buxton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I enjoy my trips to Buxton is brilliant there, really nice place to visit and have a walk about on the Peak District! And you can stand 3 foot from the track which always excites me! Nothing wrong with the place IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete cc Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Does this suggest that it was purely down to money they were prepared to close the Heathens down? Nothing suprises me in speedway anymore!! No. They said (the three of them) didn't have the time because of other commitments . Only two of them was allowed in at Perry Barr. Thats a 1/3 of the match day work load being done by the other 2. I'm sure if the work load could have been spread 3 ways at Perry Barr i wouldn't have typing this & we would all have been looking forward to next season without any worries . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place where you pay for speedway and if you stand in the right place you get to see stock car/banger/hot rod action over at the "neighbours" too.

gee jay Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Does this suggest that it was purely down to money they were prepared to close the Heathens down? Nothing suprises me in speedway anymore!! sounds like it had nothing to do with money or frustration over no track to me. more like some problems with drury/ birmingham or with perry bar and the 'too busy else where' was just an excuse. i know it's all if's and but's atm but does anyone know if monmore did have dog racing on tuesdays this year which was the original reason for cradley leaving or will they have a change of race night aswell. i guess the truth will come out when things are settled but if it does come off heathens v brummies next year is going to be a belter and if it's on a tuesday i won't miss it. The only place where you pay for speedway and if you stand in the right place you get to see stock car/banger/hot rod action over at the "neighbours" too. it's like stoke only nicer. you can park the car around the track if it's really bitter or you're not feeling up to scratch and enjoy the racing from behind your own windscreen only getting out to go and get one of those roasted pulled pork baps or two ?
