ADAMS: A NATURAL MOVE

CHRIS Adams says moving up to the position of sole team manager at Birmingham is a natural step for him to take.

Adams was assistant to Sam Ermolenko at Perry Barr this year and also stood in for father Peter on occasions at Wolverhampton in previous seasons, but he will take over in his own right in 2024.

He said: “It’s in my nature to be doing this. I’ve been in and around speedway all my life in one way or another.

“I’ve travelled up and down the country going to meeting after meeting with my dad and I’ve naturally picked things up from him.

“I want to try and deliver an environment where everyone gets on, where everyone is pulling in the same direction and where everyone helps one another because as we’ve seen before, when that’s not the case, that’s when things get messy.

“Hopefully it will be a much stronger team than was out on track last year, that’s the plan anyway, but we just need to wait for things to fall into place before we can say too much more on that front.”
