M.D 463 Posted November 28, 2021 I really hope Birmingham can come to tapes in 2022, the start up costs are large and that rent sounds pretty big too.. If they do manage it and we all hope they do, get out and support your club! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they do manage it and we all hope they do, get out and support your club! This also depends on what team we get if we come to the tapes this year. Only ones from last year you take are Paco and Jack Thomas and then we need to find 5 other riders including 2 heat leaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerbat1875 78 Posted November 29, 2021 I am hearing a rumour that brummies won't run in 2022, everything will be geared up for a 2023 return if they can get the stadium owners to agree a deal, don't shoot the messenger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current economic climate isn't making it easy to find sponsors either and add in Covid concerns. At 50k a season rent NDL is not really viable either. We live in hope though no other options.

Speedway fan 206 Posted November 29, 2021 not sure who started that rumour but NO truth in it. The consortium are busily working on everything -- hopefully news very soon 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerbat1875 78 Posted November 29, 2021 Hopefully it goes in Brummies favour, but the owners of Perry Barr stadium want guarantees that the speedway will run, no guarantees have yet come forward. I 100% believe the person who told me, he is a big player when it comes to Perry Barr issues, like I said dont shoot the messenger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway fan 206 Posted November 29, 2021 The MD of the greyhound company has been on holiday and back today and the consortium leader is due to call her tomorrow ...therefore until they speak the agreement to run is awaited then the consortium will finalise the deal to takeover Birmingham Speedway from the outgoing Mason family. Therefore the next few days are important for the club with the new potential owners ready to confirm everything for the 2022 season --- and formulating the Brummies side can be sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
