Is the plan to build the new track on the old site, as you suggest?
-
Shame to see old tracks as they are now :(
The Chelmsley Wood Eagles track is pretty much destroyed (must go and take some pics if I can) and so is Sennellys Park (where they used to have the televised Kelloggs series BITD). Not sure about Birmingham Wheels, there was talk of it coming back?
Lookin at those pics Matt, I might have a wobble one of the weekends/when I'm off, it ain't that far from me.

Chelmsley's well grown over now, no real sign of the track apart from the start hill mound. Coxmoor is just about recognisable and Perry park the same last time I was over there. Good news about wheels and Redditch though. Might see ya there,

Jas, used to love goin to Chelmsley, if my memory serves me right, the start hill was really steep going into a right hander bend and the table top being massive.
But yes great news about wheels, sounds like they're really gonna do the place up. It'll be great if we can get an old school meet there like the Rad meet at Milton Keynes.
