BRUMMIES RACE ON IN 2025

Birmingham CEO Nigel Tolley has confirmed the Brummies will come to the tapes in the 2025 Rowe Motor Oil Premiership.

After some financial concerns, the club released a statement declaring their plans to return to the tapes after meeting with British Speedway Promoters Ltd bosses on Tuesday.

Tolley said: “It goes without saying that it’s a massive relief. The situation has been changing day-by-day, but with some hard work behind the scenes and the generosity of people out there, we found ourselves in the position we needed to be at this stage.

“We’re not completely out of the woods just yet, but we’re where we needed to be at this point to be back at the tapes next season and, just as importantly, we now have a path that will enable us to clear all outstanding debts in the near future.

“Team building for 2025 is underway and I will do everything I can to build a team the supporters can really relate to and get behind because I think that’s something they missed out on a little bit this year. We’re certainly not just hanging in there to make up the numbers and our aim is to be a much more competitive force in next year’s Premiership.

“We can now start going back to the riders we’ve already been speaking to and hopefully we’ll be able to announce our first signing by the end of this week.”
