For their second season they were known as Doncaster Dragons and Gordon McGregor was the rider coach.[6] The Dragons finished 15th from 17 teams in the 1970 British League Division Two season.[7][8]
In January 1971, the promotion made a successful application to transfer the speedway licence to the Birchfield Ladbroke Stadium. All of the riders were also transferred to the Birmingham Brummies team.[1][9]
