As sad as it may be, if the stadium is closing/the lease is ending on a certain date, the club may not have any choice in the matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitten2502 Posted July 18, 2025 Report Share Posted July 18, 2025 I would rather it end as a "full team" event as opposed to a 3 or 4 team tournament or individual meeting (neither of which would I be attending). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrumFan Posted July 18, 2025 Report Share Posted July 18, 2025 Forecast for the weekend and Monday is rain. Looks like another month's rent then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally the last meeting of the season and a fitting finale. Huge sentiment to anyone that was there so not sure how you are comparing the 2.

No they didn’t they had a challenge match between wolves and some made up team called wolves at heart skornicki, PK Stewart macdonald and Graham jones and Ronnie and Sam came off their own back, nobody else was asked Edited July 18, 2025 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your frustration. However any form of final meeting comes with a massive cost, All riders involved would have to be paid by the promotion then you have the problem of attracting the best riders to bring in the crowd. it's a tough choice but Birmingham speedway has lost enough money all due respect to the promotion but even they have to admit it's just a bridge to far to host a farewell even. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if this is a missed opportunity to actually make a profit for once. A Birmingham versus Wolverhampton or Coventry could be a great crowd puller Many neutral fans will also attend a final meeting too. Newcastle wolves and Peterborough all had massive crowds for their finale. Peterborough individual had a quite uninspiring line up and the place was packed.

marko Posted July 20, 2025 Report Share Posted July 20, 2025 They can’t possibly claim they can’t run an extra meeting because of costs when the reason given for the club ending is down to the stadium? Does that mean had the stadium been available in 2026 Birmingham would have continued or is the stadium issue just a smokescreen for the fact Tolley can’t run a bath let alone a speedway club. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I am led to believe despite the site earmarked for housing the stadium would be available next season as like most building projects nothing happens over night but being the single occupancy the rent would be treble what is it now, now that sounds ok if you had unlimited use of the stadium to do what ever you want whenever you want but that isn’t the case, which I believe is a cunning way for the council to say yes we want speedway and we offered you the stadium but you chose to leave as you said it’s unviable when in reality they have made it unviable deliberately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
