No, he would of carried on at Birmingham had the council give him free reign over the stadium, his dream now is cradley but for the time being that is staying a dream, my own opinion for what’s it’s worth is if the bspl actually encouraged tolley with something he might do it, but they just call up say would you run ****** or ******, it’s going to cost you £??? And when he says no they don’t call him again, like they treat him like a cash cow Edited December 31, 2025 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue apart from getting it running is ideally it needs to be set up in the short term before Wolves fans start to drift away en-mass. Wolves Monday & Cradley Thursday.

There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes for both teams, sadly on behalf of wolves it’s not the people you would expect but the fight continues but as one door closes another one comes into sight if not opens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffles me that everywhere seems to want something the size of BV when Somerset, Redcar and Scunthorpe sizes produce good racing and would be far easier to squeeze in somewhere.
