Plans
Supporters of the club have continued a campaign to resurrect speedway in the local area. Plans have been submitted to Dudley Council for a new site. The Birmingham Brummies promoter, Tony Mole and Bob Edwards (on behalf of supporters group, CRASH – Cradley Raising Aid Saving Heathens) are leading the planning application and it is hoped that the team will return to racing in 2009. There is an online petition to show support for the application which is linked from the Cradley Heath Speedway website.
In 2010 the Heathens will be back riding but with a changed name. The Cradley name will be changed to Dudley Heathens temporarily until a new stadium can be found to call their own. They will take part in the National League and their home meetings will be shared between two stadiums – Monmore Green (home track of the Wolverhampton Wolves) and the Perry Bar Stadium (home track of the Birmingham Brummies). The team manager is Will Pottinger, and the club will be promoted by Sky Sports speedway presenter Nigel Pearson.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“One who winks the eyes plans perverse things; one who compresses the lips brings evil to pass.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:30.
