Speedway fan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) 2025 MDL contested by three teams The 2025 MIDLAND DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE will have three teams vying for the title . There were high hopes that three more clubs would be lining up in the league but unfortunately each of them have been unable to. The three teams in the 2025 competition will all run out of Birmingham’s Perry Barr circuit . The Bulls, the Buffaloes and the Wolves will race each other “home and away” twice giving each side eight fixtures. Utilising the four National Development trophy meeting for the DUCTAIR Bulls , eight further Monday night Premiership fixtures will have MDL clashes, whilst most meetings will have second half action. The third side will carry the Wolves name with the permission of Chris Van Straaten which Birmingham thank him for. MDL co-ordinator Laurence Rogers is pleased that the youngsters will have the opportunity to race under league conditions in teams. He commented, “ I have tried to keep this competition going to give some of the youngsters valuable track time. When the three possible tracks were unable to confirm being able to join in I looked at keeping things going by running three sides out of Perry Barr. We have a close connection with the Formula Grass Track Association and a lot of the young lads have progressed in to riding speedway as well . I knew we had sufficient riders to run the three teams so it was all steam ahead. CVS has kindly let me use the Wolves name for the third side and it’s good to keep the name alive as he searches for a new venue for the club.” Most of the youngsters who rode in 2024 will be back with some now also securing National League team spots whilst a few newcomers reaching 15 will now come into contention for rides in the MDL.
