He told us, “We started to sponsor the club this year but have been supporting them for nearly ten years since they re-started. “I’ve been to just about every meeting this year and it has been great to see them doing so well. As a company we’re happy to be supporting them and hope that they can continue to be successful. We hope to be able to continue to support them for many years and hopefully more of the community will get behind them. Ideally I’d love to see the team make it back into the elite league but only if that would be viable financially. I just want us to be competitive in the league that we are in and enjoying the competition of speedway.” 24 Issue 09 on board who is Speedway through and through and has put us on a very sound financial footing. “We’re putting the foundations in place to take this club on to better things. The mood at the club is bubbling at the moment. This time last year we were dead and buried so if I’d have said then that we’d be back up and running and top of the league everyone would have been delighted. It has been a great turnaround for us. “We’ve got important matches coming up so we just want to make sure that we can perform to our best in order to bring more success to the club. We will then evaluate how we are able to move forward during the winter. “Speedway is a fantastic sport which is well suited for the whole family; everyone can enjoy it. That’s not just in Birmingham, anyone who would like to see an entertaining sporting fixture between two competitive sides in a friendly atmosphere should go along to their local team and see what we have to offer. There’s a chance for supporters to get to know the riders in Speedway which is another great benefit.
