The question is would those 400-500 who turned up then turn up now or would they turn their nose up at it??. As per my previous post! Looks pretty obvious from where I'm standing!? As for attending? it's a no from me....would rather travel to Leicester (if they improve the track) or an occasional visit to Oxford!

This was Tracey's comment....whom I believe is part of the current promotion team. Indeed she is part of the consortium, but nowhere does Tracey mention NL she just says what we already know that the only race night available is Monday which wont allow Championship racing.

I would say so, history shows when speedway clubs have gone up and down the leagues there has been little change in crowd level. The star riders in the Premiership may have a very slight crowd draw, Emil, Tai or Bewley but I think there is more than a few teams that would be financially better off running at NL level. Also Birmingham might finally have a winning team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct...and my post doesn't mention her saying anything about NL ? That is just my opinion, on a different post! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway fan Posted Wednesday at 08:06 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:06 AM BIRMINGHAM Speedway are delighted to confirm their participation in the 2025 ROWE Motor Oil Premiership. The Brummies have met conditions that were recently agreed following a cash flow crisis at the end of the 2024 campaign. And club CEO Nigel Tolley informed league chiefs of their position at a British Speedway Promoters’ Ltd meeting on Tuesday. “It goes without saying that it’s a massive relief,” Tolley said. “The situation has been changing day-by-day but with some hard work behind the scenes and the generosity of people out there, we found ourselves in the position we needed to be at at this stage. “We’re not completely out of the woods just yet but we’re where we needed to be at this point to be back at the tapes next season and just as importantly, we now have a path that will enable us to clear all outstanding debts in the near future. “Team building for 2025 is underway and I will do everything I can to build a team the supporters can really relate to and get behind because I think that’s something they missed out on a little bit this year. “We’re certainly not just hanging in there to make up the numbers and our aim is to be a much more competitive force in next year’s Premiership. “We can now start going back to the riders we’ve already been speaking to and hopefully we’ll be able to announce our first signing by the end of this week.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted Wednesday at 09:02 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:02 AM Now there really is no excuse for Tolley. He can start to build a decent side. If this next team is pants then God help the supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted Wednesday at 09:20 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:20 AM Really pleased to hear the news, must admit they were a great bunch of visitors to Foxhall, however, they rock up with 3 managers, Sam, Chris and Laurence, surely they could cut costs there🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
