    Why not?  The 4-hour parking restriction ends at 7pm, After that it's unrestricted. It says so, not exactly in black and white, but definitely in dark blue and white on one of many notices posted around the One Stop Shopping Centre. So, the way I see it, you can arrive any time after 3pm, use up your 4 free hours and then you free to stay after that in unrestricted time.

    No

    The signs state.

    Parking allowed up to 4 hours between 0830-2000 on Wednesdays.

    If you want to risk  it that's up to you.

    I took a photo of the sign in March which I have on my phone, if its changed since  then I 

    Apologise.

    Birmingham Speedway have been busy sorting supporter parking arrangements for the forthcoming 2023 season.

    Following changes to the parking arrangements at the One Stop Shopping Centre, supporters will no longer be able to park on the complex and the promotion have known this for some time and have been busy arranging alternatives.

    New Marketing Director Steve Rolleston, as part of his remit in bringing in more sponsorship and advertising, has secured parking just round the corner from the stadium with new advertisers BRACEBRIDGE ENGINEERING and KALSI KITCHENS on Walsall Road. He is also in talks with other businesses close to the stadium to have use of their car parking as well.

    In addition there will be the usual car park at the stadium by the old car wash whilst inside parking in the stadium is being revamped and spaces made available to season ticket holders at a reduced rate.

    Full details of the parking arrangements will be confirmed closer to the season, which starts with the West Midlands Challenge against a Coventry Bees Select on Wednesday, April 12 (7.30).

    BIRMINGHAM have declared their intention to compete in the 2023 Championship campaign.

    There has been regular communication between consortium leader Nigel Tolley and the British Speedway Promoters’ Ltd in recent weeks with more than one eye already looking towards next season.

    During his process to take over the Perry Barr side last year, Tolley outlined an ambitious business plan for the club.

    But with the takeover taking much longer than anticipated, that hampered several plans on various levels.

    Tolley and his other consortium members feel that an increase in promotional initiatives, attracting significant new sponsorship and assembling a competitive and entertaining rider line-up could see them achieve their goals.

    And Tolley has moved early to allay any fears of supporters.

    “From the moment we sat down to begin our bid to takeover the Brummies it’s been a whirlwind, it really has, Tolley said.

    “We put together that business plan for 12 months but of course we didn’t take over until December in the end.

    “Things took a little bit longer than we’d have liked to put into operation so with our season almost over, it really is a two year plan.

    “So we’ve now got to be looking to next season to put all the things right that were wrong this year.

    “It’s been a very, very big learning curve for me, but what I’ve learnt is unbelievable and I’m going to use that experience for the future.

    “I’ve said it all along - we certainly won’t just throw in the towel.

    “There are a lot uncertainties, but we are looking to the 2023 season.

    “As I’ve said, some of the things we didn’t get right this season, some through no fault of our own, I’ll do everything I can to get them right for next season.

    “For me, the main thing there is building a team to get us into the play-offs.

    “Because of how much longer everything took than we first anticipated during the winter, team wise we were on the back foot from the off with a large chunk of riders already committed elsewhere.

    “And while things have gone against us almost from the off with an unbelievable amount of bad luck, we can hopefully put ourselves in a better position when it comes to building a team by declaring our intentions nice and early.

    “We’ve already had a good number of riders say they’d like to come and ride for Birmingham next season - and based on those riders, along with one or two we’d like to try and include ourselves, I have every confidence that we could get into next year’s play-offs and build a team that supporters would really enjoy coming to watch week in, week out.”
