BRUMMIES TO RENEW MIDLANDS RIVALRIES

Friday August 23, 2024
WEST Midlands speedway clubs will reunite in the final action of the season at Perry Barr as Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Cradley and Coventry do battle in a special four-team tournament for the Alan Grahame Memorial Trophy on Monday, September 9 (7.30pm).

The last meeting of 2024 will adopt a format with the main event consisting of 16 heats with a possible Midland Development League title decider between Birmingham’s two amateur sides as well as upright machine ‘Men in Black’ races.

CEO Nigel Tolley said: “We wanted to do something a bit different for the supporters for the final meeting of the year.

“Along with our hardcore Brummies followers, we’ve been very fortunate to be joined by a good number of other West Midlands based speedway fans on a regular basis who, sadly, don’t have a team of their own to support at this moment in time.

“So we wanted to put on a show for all Midlands fans and give them a team of their own to cheer on for one night and that’s why we’re running this four-team tournament.

“The teams will be built around Championship level and we’re working hard on getting them as finely balanced as we possibly can to try and get a close-run contest.”

Special sponsorships for each team will be available with details to follow, but anyone who would like to show an early interest should e-mail:

Birmingham Speedway Season Ticket holders will be able to get into this meeting for just £15 with general admission set at £20 adults, £18 concessions, £10 students while all Under-16s will get in for free. VIP Gold tickets will again be available for £39.

In the meantime, the Curtis Sport Brummies stage their final home league fixture of the year this Bank Holiday Monday (August 26, 7.30pm) against Ipswich before hosting a round of the British Youth Championships on Monday (September 2, 7.30pm).
