  Birmingham Speedway owner Tony Mole is to stand down after this Wednesday's M6 Trophy clash with Stoke at Perry Barr.
And the veteran promoter has already struck a deal with Swindon's Gary Patchett, who lives in Halesowen, to lease the club for the 2010 campaign.
Gary will be the new club owner with a view to buying out Tony next year subject to permanent planning permission for the sport to continue at Perry Barr.
He'll be joined by Peterborough's Mick Bratley - and current Brummies boss Graham Drury has also agreed terms to carry on in the new set-up.
Said Tony: "The time has come for me to take a back seat and I wish Gary all the very best. It's a sad time for me in many ways but I could never continue forever.
"I will pursue the planning long term to create a future for the club in order for Gary to take up the option and purchase from me next year. I expect planning to be applied for next August and I will again lobby the British Speedway Promoters' Association at their AGM to allow the introduction of Prodrive silencers next season. Without them I fear we will not get planning.
"I will address our supporters after Heat 14 on Wednesday night and then again at our end of season awards night at Aston Villa FC next Saturday."
