Losing serious money every year is no good for him and no good for the sport. I hate to see good people losing bundles to put on speedway fixtures 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to see good people losing bundles to put on speedway fixtures For the first time I see speedway advertisements on the back of buses! Nigel really has tried. It does make you wonder what more can they do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's mad to think that a club in Birmingham cant attract atleast a thousand supporters every week A lot of this is probably be due to there being no speedway in Birmingham for 21 years. I was 17 when it closed after the wheels. I was brought up with speedway as my dad had been a young fan himself at Perry Barr when he was a child. Birmingham lost those generations of prospective new fans between 1987 and 2007. Unfortunately during those 21 years life and what to do with your leisure time changed massively too.

It won't take them long to start the work. There is no spectator facilities to build. No infrastructure, its all there. All they have to do is lay a dog track, fence, hare on the infield right in front of a huge Stand bars, restaurants and Hotel. The Kennels will be a simple build adjacent to stables.
