Being Beaten by 2 riders that make the gate at Perry Barr is the norm, just because said rider happens to ride for BV is no different, had it been at the NSS then that would have been different.

Seems I am wrong (yet again) Bewley at 1.

Birmingham struggle to win at home at the best of times, both teams using RR for their No1, I am thinking the reserves hold the key to this but whoever has their gating gloves on will win.

Is it any wonder crowds are poor ?. I really don't know why they bothered for this season.

Try using the same details that you use to watch Brummie home meetings, i have done that and it puts me through to proceed to checkout.

I wish SCS well in their efforts to return Speedway to Brandon and they have done some amazing work, however the ball remains in Brandon Estates court and until such time as they wish to proceed with anything it is all a matter of wait and see and prepare, however it is my belief that BE will just sit and wait until the Stadium becomes beyond repair, I cannot for the life of me see them leasing out the Stadium because if they do that then the Stadium will need to be refurbished and brought in to a useable condition which will then defeat their end game of developing the site, purchasing the site for me seems to be the only way forward can SCS obtain the financial support for this to happen? that is the 6 million dollar question, but with Speedway in the UK down and almost out I for the life of me cannot see a business plan that only involve Speedway and Stocks generating enough income to support the purchase (were it for sale) of the Stadium, any business plan would need to include something more than just Speedway & Stocks most likely would at the very least include some development of part of the site, Yes it is possible to see Sports return to Brandon but somehow someone has to get Brandon Estates to accept an offer for the site, until then it is a waiting game and time is on Brandon Estates side.

Now maybe Brum can win a few meetings.

Can't wait to hear what this big news is, especially if as you say it's not a miracle signing.

New location or financial Backers ?.

You are probably correct.

I would hope that it will be a Speedway track somewhere in the West Midlands, but with a team worth watching.

And to be honest it seems like Tolley has given up after seeing the last 2 signings Castagna and Hume, has someone not realised Brum are supposed to be Premiership not Championship these 2 signings do have Rogers stamp all over them surely Adams could have done better than this. With regards Zagar fair enough if their has been a cock up by the UKVI but did not Tolley mention something about fast tracking a week or so ago ?, fast tracking ie super priority takes 1 day, priority takes up to 5 days, I am however unsure if the priority visas apply to Sports persons but football players rarely seem to be delayed. Mind you fast tracking visas in Birmingham's case seems to be following the same speed as the riders slow!.

Wightlink Warriors Update. Barry and I would like to update all our volunteers, fans, sponsors and riders on the 2025 season. As everyone knows, running any event on the Isle of Wight has its own challenges and speedway is no different, but what we can tell you is that we are continuing to work with Wightlink Ferries to find a mutually agreeable support package that ensures we can operate this season as well as securing the future for the club going forward into next year and beyond. Since restarting the speedway in 2016, we have received tremendous support from Wightlink, but it is recognised that circumstances do change, and discussions are taking longer this year than in the past, however we do hope to be able to update you all in the very near future. We recognise that we are well past the point where we normally have fixtures arranged, sponsors in place, teams announced; so frustration will be present amongst our valued volunteers, and those sponsors and supporters both on the Island and those on the mainland trying to book holidays to coincide with the speedway season. Apologies are offered for these delays to those that choose the Isle of Wight for their holiday destination expecting to enjoy their “fix” of speedway on the longest track in the country. When the deal with Wightlink is finalised, we will have to make some rapid decisions and will need the support of everyone if the decision is made to progress. We sincerely hope that a positive outcome can be achieved and communicated to you all shortly.

I thought Owlerton Stadium was still owned by A&S Leisure ?.
