Well said.... If anything, it's giving B'ham pre-season attention....not sure whether it's positive/negative...but it's still attention! There is obvious varying degrees of interest.....from, general speedway 'fan'....Premier League opposition 'fan' and past/present 'Bham' 'fan'..... With myself being the latter.... Personally, I don't have much faith in the current consortium, regards Team recruitment....this opinion is based on the last 2 seasons of poor team building and poor Home meeting performances! However, as a 'fan' of speedway, I'm extremely grateful to N.T for keeping the 'club' afloat and giving people like myself a chance of seeing the sport from a local perspective. If, the club assemble a competitive side, by that I mean, a side that doesn't have to win every home meeting, but at least keep the scores close, then I'll definitely be at as many Home/Away meetings as possible. At my 'long in the tooth' age....I'm easily pleased and am just happy to see close racing!

T.G.F.T ! Let's hope he can't pronounce 'Zagar' as well.....

Great! I went only once (1976) and I was fascinated by the banking (hence my recognition). As for KC ? He was a favourite of mine too!

Can I ask what track is your profile pic please ? (is it Halifax ?)

If only more Clubs were in a position to !?

So it's Zagar and Smolinski then

Not sure what 'Chris's' credentials are ???

Not sure what your point is ??? I'm nobody! But, if Rogers has anything to do with the last 2 signings, it doesn't bode well ! IMO

So, B'ham promotion are supposedly speaking to 6/8 available (whatever criteria that means?) riders in order to finalise the last 2 (GP standard (not my words) riders) Please, please, please don't leave this decision in the hands of previous team selectors! Hopefully, the promotion have been taking note of forum posters and should by now, know, what's needed, for a reasonable chance of progress!

Pay peanuts and you get.......

Yes, I agree, no problem at all with these signings, I'm just merely pointing out that (I think...) other teams second string riders are 'stronger'... (which makes the last 2 signings 'vital'...) Flint should be able to hold his own at reserve....Brennan/Cook will be exciting to see progress....Worrall is steady .....and cant really say much about Lampart ? Laguta/Lingdren would be perfect!!

Yes, I agree, I'm just posting coz I'm bored ! Lol However, the first 5 signings are signings that nobody else wanted in fairness. There hasn't been any coups yet! Just my opinion!

Would've thought that the way to building a strong side is to sign your so called big hitters first, then fill in the gaps with the second strings? Cmon Sam the manager.... make a statement about the top 2 riders that are going to make fans want to turn up?

Bad luck!

All other teams No.3 are stronger/better than Worrall ... all N0.4's are better/stronger than Brennan.....all No.2's look better/stronger than Z.Cook....just my opinion !

Ha ha...being an 'Heathen', you'd probably recognize the pit-falls even more...you've been spoilt over the years ... great teams/great riders/great race track.... I loved my Saturday nights at Dudley Wood as a kid! Good Old Days!....'wipe-out'!

Things that most likely put the neutral off going (as already mentioned) Traffic is dire in the area. Viewing (outside) is poor Track has been inconsistent since Terry left (but 'hooray', he's back next year) Things that most likely put the 'Home/Brum' fans off : Poor sides assembled over the last 2 seasons!!! Hoping it's not going to happen this season!? P.s If you dont mind a 5/10 mins walk, there's plenty of street parking if people make the effort to look !?

Being a 'nobody' is the best compliment anyone has ever paid me... I thank you kindly. All my learnings from 'Ram Das' has paid off! Free from 'EGO'....unlike some !

Ashley Morris would've been a good signing for Poole! (bit of a random post )

Not sure why Promoters feel the need to tell us how much money they've spent? You're either taking it on, or you're not!? We need 2 riders of GP standard to compete with other teams.... Our second string riders are not as good as other teams... Look forward to the exciting news!?

So much for 'being in the know' ? LOL I'd take everything that 'poster' said, with a generous pinch of salt !

Well....we've watched absolute Sh#te for the last 2 seasons....that's why attendance levels have been poor! Waiting on 2 decent heat leaders...it's a must IMO!

Going to wait and see who the last 2 signings are....but we haven't signed anyone yet that can win Ht.1.13.15....(as someone has already pointed out...) I'm writing to Santa today.....(I've been good all year...)

Totally agree!

Good maths though! More importantly...'Congratulations' !
