Plymouth Speedway Statement

The management of Plymouth Gladiators speedway are very disappointed to announce that their application to join The Championship league in 2020 has proved unsuccessful on this occasion; but the club is determined to build towards a further application in 12 months time.

Having been granted permission to put its credentials to the sports general council at the AGM held in Coventry this week, the requirement of new and previously unforeseen conditions of entry; which would have meant increased financial assurances and bonds having to be paid immediately, meant that the promotion had no alternative but to withdraw the application on the grounds of the medium and long term financial security of the club.

Plymouth Gladiators will now focus on building a successful team for the 2020 National Development League, whilst strengthening its commercial and business model and increasing its brand, media and marketing awareness and exploring other speedway and community related avenues to increase it’s supporter base and to further evidence and deliver the long term profitability and sustainability, it has shown in the past 12 months.

The clubs Management team will fully update all supporters attending the forthcoming end of season presentation evening on Saturday 30th November at Kings Tamerton community hall.
