One word Kev, budget.

I'd still be concerned about the strength of the reserves though, even though the top 5 is/will be potentially solid.

Hey, don't stop the Pirates fans sticking the knife in on other team's threads, the BSF wouldn't be the same without it.

Yes.

Anyone pulled out yet?

Birmingham's team is low spec for a very valid reason-survival. It's high risk, but hopefully the club can survive and prosper although if it goes wrong on the track, the club will be in trouble, after all if the public weren't willing to support a successful side in sufficient numbers,well............ So no worries about facing Brummies in the play offs, I'd say. I suppose it's refreshing to read peeps trying to put a postive spin on things. Or "promoting" as it can also be called.

What other sport would have someone "unemployable" after having one good season. Ridiculous.

He was just attacking the post and not the poster, I'd say!

Which one?

See post #596.

Another Brummies asset worth booger all now.

And how is having two NL riders with @ 16 years riding experience between them (and their both still NL riders), supposed to help matters?

Alsobutely

He'll get plenty of opportunity in 2014 if he signs.

It's still there in all its, er, glory.

I'd "like" this post, but it would give the wrong impression.

Thought that too, mmmmmm.

And cape wearer?

If anyone needs a "Smoli" season, it's Auty.

I'm guessing that PTP doesn't rate him at all, but I could be wrong and he just may think that his eyes are too close together or something. Can't wait to find out though.

The silencer connection would be quite ironic really.

Is it that famous scot, Kenny Gate?

Well if Birmingham were struggling for fans last season, what's there to attract new ones back then?

So this is the Elite League and Brum have ex Bull Paul Starke and also Simon Lambert at reserve. No offence, but these are NL standard riders, how on earth is this pushing them, who have both been around for years and got precisely not very far and the sport forwards? If you keep watering down the beer it will eventually become just water. That point is rapidly approaching.

Well we're rapidly compiling a list of riders we don't want it to be! Batchelor would be a great shout though (no jokes about him being used to not being paid on time, ok!!)
