  1. not all tracks have their own catering or bars .... that goes to the stadium not the speedway
  2. Birmingham have u11's free, 12-16 £3 and students with proof 17-22 £5
  3. speedway office in pits open 10.30-1 . Entrance through blue car park and turn left following path round to pits car park. Season and Advanced10 tickets on sale plus table reservations in the bar/ restaurant area .
  4. there may be other clubs entering teams in 2022 .... but this level of racing is important and the tracks that do run it are giving their fans more value for money at the same time as giving important track time to the youngsters coming through
  5. nothing to do with the MSDL as that will run on its own
  6. His crash had nothing to do with the track . The track is being completely re-laid in the winter
  7. and fans from anywhere can do their bit by buying shares in the new company and being part of the club . Forms on the club website and forum
  8. not correct on the rental fee but there will be advance payments made by the consortium not the whole annual rental fee .....
  9. 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
  10. not sure who started that rumour but NO truth in it. The consortium are busily working on everything -- hopefully news very soon
  11. well the consortium are not giving up and have big plans and will be working hard on marketing and promotion in a variety of ways . You may be a pessimist thankfully they aren't
  12. The wheels project closed a few weeks ago and the leaseholder has handed the keys back .
  13. so they just give up now do they? Well that's not going to happen ....get behind the people trying to save the club .
  14. PROSPECTIVE Birmingham consortium leader Nigel Tolley says the clock is counting down fast if they are achieve their ambition to keep speedway in the city. Local businessman Tolley addressed a big gathering of supporters on Tuesday and outlined the current position regarding the proposed takeover of the club. He confirmed a group of four members – which he hopes to increase to five over the coming weeks – have all pledged a significant investment to help bring the Brummies to the tapes in 2022. No sale has yet been agreed with outgoing owners David and Peter Mason, as the consortium require all of their funds to be in place in order to proceed, and running costs at Perry Barr next year have substantially increased. The club have been offered a one-year extension to their lease, but at a much-increased rent compared to this year, and also based on them staging 20 meetings with that rent to be paid whether that number is reached or not. Tolley confirmed the intention is for the Brummies to again line up in the Championship next season, and the realistic deadline for entry is in early December. He said: “I know Boris Johnson last week at the climate conference said it was five to midnight – well, regarding Birmingham Speedway at the moment, it’s two minutes to midnight. “These next few weeks are absolutely vital, and we are here to see the future of Birmingham Speedway. “There are many more hurdles to get over, but we will do our utmost for there to be speedway at Perry Barr next season. “I’m talking to Peter Mason on a weekly basis, but everything has to be put in its place. “It’s no good buying the fixtures and fittings if we’re not racing next season, and it’s no good signing a lease until we’re given the go-ahead to race, and we have to get these problems sorted out by the start of the month. “We want to keep supporters as up-to-date as possible all the way through the proceedings. Without the supporters, we can’t go anywhere.” Tolley said several avenues are being explored in order to secure funding to cover the rental increase – including a major drive for meeting sponsorship. He believes that without heavy sponsorship, the club would require an average attendance of around 1,000 in order to break even. He said: “We’re assured that the other stadiums that have the same owners are being offered exactly the same lease as we’ve been offered. “If we talk about the same attendances as last season, this will be the final year for Brummies, so we’ve got to do whatever to make sure we’re getting preferably a minimum of 1,000 people into that stadium. “We’ve got all sorts of ideas about that, and we’ll do whatever we can to make it work – and we also want to hear from supporters with any ideas they’ve got. We are determined to see Perry Barr open for speedway next season.” The consortium is also set to offer shares in the limited company to supporters at a minimum investment of £100. They stress that at present they are seeking pledges only, and no monies will become due until their participation in 2022 is confirmed. There will be benefits to supporters for getting involved, and full details will be available at Birmingham-speedway.com shortly.

  17. I wasn't looking for a "spat" just asking a few questions as what you had said was confusing and was trying to find out out what had happened
  18. who stopped you going in the bar ? Where was this "hole in the wall serving £4.50 lager plus stodge and chips"? ---- chips unfortunately were not available as many fans wanted ...only chilli and rice, curry and rice, pie and mash and if ordered sausage and mash and this is all controlled by the stadium with the speedway having nothing to do with the catering and bars. It is their ruling that food and drink cannot be brought in as it is at some other stadiums. The promotion did try to request different menus but they are awaiting their kitchens being renovated and extractors replaced hence no chips, burgers etc . Sorry you regarded it as a dreadful experience .
  19. still a few obstacles to overcome but all moving forward .... I am sure those attending tomorrow night will be in full support of the consortium and their plans
  20. to keep the fans informed and to outline their plans .. a worthwhile meeting
