guitar_art Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 As a celebration of the Speedway Tavern being ten years old we are starting a little early tonight (7.30) and I hope that our choice of guests will wet the appetite.

The Patchett / Pearson Promotion has been happy to leech off the fantastic support for as long as they can and made a big killing off it. They then managed to get their stooges on to the Supporters Trust and access to what was left of their "fighting fund" for use to support planning applications etc. They used that money to cover costs this season. They have absolutely NO INTEREST in Cradley Heath Speedway now other than as a credit on their Bank Statements. The "well is nearly dry" and they will vanish It is an absolutely crying shame that a great name will vanish and this time will be a lot more difficult to ever get back. As a Brummies fan I know how long it took us to rise from the Ashes, we had a legend like Brian Buck fighting our corner, Pearson and Patchett are not fit to be mentioned in the same breath Not to mention: No permanent track of their own and still running in 10th season. No assistance from Dudley Council despite promises. Edited September 19, 2019 by Piccolo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt robbo produce an email from the local council saying that the current owners did not want to or were unable to get thier own land if the council found some? Something in my head is saying so. Some Cradley fans in Prince of Wales yesterday were jeering NP, which shows something is going seriously amiss within what was once a great club.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) You all Coming down Perry Barr for your play off game guys ? see you down there . Spoke to a few Brummies yesterday that will be going down to this meeting . Instead of moaning get down there. One of the reasons your club wont exist in a fortnights time is because you wouldn't back the Perry Barr project in enough numbers .

Heathen1984 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Reason club wont exist in 2 weeks time is cause there will be no national league.We both know that crowds aint the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nothing to be gained by supporters sniping at each other - we don't want to lose any more clubs especially in the Midlands - so let's all get down to Perry Barr for this match and show that when the chips are down, we back each other.

Don’t think there’s any doubt the supporters will back the riders ,it’s all about feeding the “promoters” back pockets ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 When Kent joined the league, Cradley would travel everywhere in numbers, big numbers. And were often many clubs book balancer when Cradley were in town. This season there were a handful at best. The big support must still be there somewhere, and with that fanbase I am convinced most decent business could take the club on and make it work EVEN as a nomadic club.And i dont think there are many other clubs if any that could say the same* (*re the nomadic bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hopefully a big crowd for Cradley. Clegg fantastic round perry Barr and will suit Smith more than wolves does. Equally so Perks is exceptional at this level round there as is Hume. And the Thompson twins grew up round there. But hopefully fans from all 3 clubs turn up and if it is to be the last of a NL Cradley bow out with a big crowd. Support your team heathens fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everyone assuming that Cradley will not run in 2020 ? Have the club issued a statement ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Management disillusioned with online abuse from more than just one person. They wouldn't need that even if they were earning thousands and thousands per meeting. Are they making money this year? Who cares... Plus if they were coining it in why did they only run four home matches in the Trophy last year and pulled out the league? Surely they'd want to earn more if they aren't interested in the club by staging as many meetings as possible? I don't get that bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never really understood the gripe with any management making money out of a speedway club ? surely if your club makes money year after year is a good thing ? I would be delighted to hear the Masons make a healthy profit at Birmingham as would give me assurances of our longer term future. Do speedway fans want owners to take risks but not take any rewards ? if so why would anyone bother ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why nobody will support to watch the racing at that price tag. And Cradley would not exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
