The fact that this happened, and nothing will ever come of it, is staggering. A blatant cash grab by those involved.

What was the vanity project.?

There's a fair bit if derelict industrial land around Wolverhampton but it'll all be privately owned.

South Staffs has never had a speedway track and I'd be amazed if their planners would be in favour of one but you never know. The required highway works for the site in question add another huge complication.

I'd imagine the promotion will issue an update presumably between now and the start of the 2025 season but it's unlikely to say much of note

What do you want to come if it ? It was a business venture that paid off, they supplied a product which people wanted and brought, you may not like that fact but it wasn’t illegal, you can argue about morality all day long but that’s not how the world turns and I for one applaud they had the foresight to tap that market and give the cradley supporters what they wanted, you and all the other cradley supporters could of done the same thing but the fact is you didn’t

They did, and it wasn't illegal as you say, but it was the claptrap about "helping" Cradley that came with it that I didn't like. They saw a business opportunity and rinsed some speedway starved fans of some easy cash. Maybe I expected better from those involved. Oh well.

P.S. I'm not a Cradley fan 👍

They could But they won’t, monmore will become available along with the fruit and veg market at the back and will be sold probably to the council to move their depot to, I agree with the rest of your post though but that’s a deeper issue that folk don’t want to talk about 

I certianly hope that your local knowledge is right .

I suppose it boils down to whether Entain can continue to provide enough dog racing to fulfil the needs of their customers.
As far as I know they also run Crayford, Romford and Hove. Having worked for Ladbrokes many years ago my understanding was that they kept the tracks in their ownership (in those days just Crayford and Monmore - Romford and Hove were Coral) to give them more control over the dog racing product in the betting shops.

Crayford to close in January

I have no idea where the Wolves promotion are with potential sites, but would the following be viable.

We know that Perry Barr will close later next year leaving the West Midlands with no Speedway, would a joint venture let's say somewhere round Dudley (Burnt Tree Island area) between Wolves and Cradley riding on a two track set up be viable?, what I mean by that is Wolves riding on the smaller track on the inside of a bigger Cradley track on the outer with a moveable inside line for the larger track, basically the same as Wolves & Cradley had but instead of the outer being for greyhounds it would be for another speedway track, hence the two track set up, using all the same facilities on one site.

I think if wolves found a new site it would  be a bigger track than M.G ...Similar  size to the old Dudley Wood ...
