BeoBrummie 30 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) It seems Tony Mole is quite keen on resurrecting the Brummies in 2015, in what league he won't say. Apparently there are a few problems to be ironed out but happily the GRA doesn't appear to be one of them! Below are the last couple of articles from the local rag http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/other-sport/tony-mole-keen-resurrect-birmingham-7433245 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/other-sport/tony-mole-plans-birmingham-talks-7441673 Edited July 17, 2014 by BeoBrummie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianbuck 928 Posted July 18, 2014 I don't have any inside knowledge of Tony's plans but I would think it logical that they will be about Premier League racing. Clearly the Elite League cannot last much longer in its present form and will have to eventually amalgamate with the Premier - and common sense says that this is going to be on the Premier League clubs' terms for surely none of them will vote for or accept, anything which increases their costs. If that means that the top Elite League riders desert their clubs then so be it. In the long term, that may well be for the best. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree 100%, But I do fear that certain EL promoters/teams could spoil what is a good Premier Lge ??? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's to next Season with Birmingham in the Premier League. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stansolo 12 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Hope the fighting fund have a figure head that may have some sort of say to any prospective takeover, the collection has really shown a strong feeling. Edited July 18, 2014 by stansolo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy jimmy 298 Posted July 18, 2014 How are they going to put a team together for the PL? No riders I can think of going spare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike.Butler 601 Posted July 18, 2014 Birmingham should join the PL before that leagues closes its door to EL clubs looking to join as the EL shrinks to >8 clubs, and thereby cause unsustainable wage inflation and an un-level playing field where the rich win and the rest capsize trying to keep up. I'm afraid 'big' clubs joining and expecting using their relative superior financial muscle to chase pots must be resistsed by the PL. After all that league is realistically the future of BL speedway in the medium term. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

25yearfan 476 Posted July 19, 2014 Nothings been posted on the Brummies forum for a couple of days now so nothings been missed! With the excellent response to the fighting fund, the stadium owners apparently wanting speedway to return, Tony Mole and others interested as well as sponsors I'd say Birmingham speedway can re emerge next season, probably in the Premier League and be sustainable if ran right!
