The team began to gel and with the help of existing riders such as Mike Sampson and Kevin Holden, the Falcons won the 1974 British League title.

The next five seasons saw the Falcons struggle badly with a slight improvement to 5th place in 1989 due in part to the form of Australian rider Steve Regeling.

The new track was expected to open for the start of the 2009 season, and Trump had applied to the British Speedway Promoters' Association for permission to enter a team for the 2009 Premier League but the plans fell through.
