Racin Jason 72 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 If a new track could be built is there any chance it could be called West Midlands speedway and home to Wolverhampton and cradley heath ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to lose any club is awful but to lose such a club that has been at the top for so long would be devastating for speedway. Currently, allegedly, the oldest speedway track still operating in the world, starting 1928. That's a lot of history to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Maybe CVS could take over the promoting licence at Blunsdon?! Just a thought......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three sharing the same track would make a lot of sense financially if they were all in different leagues. Would be a little strange though if an away meeting was also a home meeting.

So say if wolves are riding a home fixture the cradley pits becomes the away pits and the Birmingham pits is for second halfers then if two of the clubs rode each other they always retain their normal pit area. If the stadium gets used three times a week rather than one is got to me much more viable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where would be the ideal location be.I suppose Sandwell is in the middle for the three teams,but Nigel Pearson tried that for Cradley(and came very close to getting one in Tividale).Would think there are empty brownfield sites around there,but persuading the council might be a different matter.

Maybe the business plan needs to include an academy with the aim of finding local talent which includes the Asian community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only sadly end up going one way... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJWolves Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Been watching speedway in the West Midlands since I was knee high and want to continue doing so. Still a great spectacle and entertaining sport. I’d probably still moan about how the sport is run and about the poor decisions taken. But better that than having no speedway to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Looking at the August averages, Schlein drops to 5th so only Douglas & the reserves can then take r/r outings. Big blow for Wolves, although as long as he's back fit for the play-offs, that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Leicester have released Chris Harris to Peterborough. So, sadly no Bomber at The Green tomorrow night. How will Wolves fans cope? At least his name will be in the proggy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sweetman Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 So now we all know the real reason behind the decision there will be no more speedway at Monmore Green after this season.The Council have announced plans to demolish the next door wholesale market and build a new far larger facility that will include a new mixed use complex to incorporate vehicle fleet services,new market,meals on wheels operartion,salt storage with new electric vehicles,street sign opereration and office space to control all these facilities...... So this was the devious plan all along between Entain and Wolverhampton City Council to end a near 100 year reign to bring an end to Wolves speedway at their present home. Bare faced lies from Entain about needing a new track for Premier greyhound racing,and the council for saying they'll do all they can for Entain to change their mind and let speedway continue at the Green.Both organisations lying scumbags. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
