Forging the Future

A unique sporting relationship has been forged in the Black Country in an attempt to resurrect Cradley Speedway.

Dudley Kingswinford RFC Youth Section have joined forces with Cradley Heathens as part of the Heathens' campaign to get their club a permanent stadium in the Black Country.

Cradley Speedway was demolished in 1996 but the team has continually campaigned to Dudley MBC to get a replacement venue built.

For this season, Dudley Kingswinford RFC Under 10s can be seen sporting their new shirts with the Heathens logo displayed on the front.

PR officer for Dudley Kingswinford RFC Tim Stitt said: "This is a unique situation where two clubs, both steeped in the sporting history of the Black Country, have got together to support each other in their joint quest for improvement within the area.

"Together we can make a difference for the youth of our community and bring the campaign for a new Heathens stadium to the forefront of discussion again. This will also help young people to spread their sporting interests.

"It is hoped that Dudley MBC will support the campaign and agree to a location so once more the Heathens can compete against other speedway clubs and 'ommer um!'"
