Me too...he's ended up with 'us' and LR as his manager! Seriously though...what is there to feel sorry for? Joe has been signed and he will have less travelling in the process !!

Keeping things local, an obvious choice would/could be Sam Ermolenko ?

Hume? Are we talking about who we 'should've signed ? Hume has progressed well....he's whole hearted and good to watch....similar endeavour to Danny King. Problem this season is that I haven't seen much grip on the outside and this could affect overall performance as Hume isnt the best gater (IMo) Think I'd take Dan Thompson....both would be great though! Like you say....ones for the future. Instead of a bunch of has-beens/also-rans!

Broc Nicol goes well at PB! Think we'd need to see a list of 'available/willing' riders before we can make suggestions.... I can't see James Wright coming back and making any impact....he has sustained shoulder ligament damage from what I've read elsewhere.

Just for the record....Sedgmen is the Captain .... not that it matters. I think we've missed the boat on suitable signings this season... I'd like to see us contribute to the development of Dan Thompson.

Apologies if I've upset you by having an opinion that I believe would improve the current state and future of the club. Your post points to the old saying...'pay peanuts....you get monkeys' . If we don't change the manager then we will be lucky to be having this discussion next season. P.s. that's my opinion btw....its based on my 52 years support of Birmingham speedway and speedway as a sport in general.

Shame we can't get Rossiter in!

Any reason why we didn't use a T/S in Heat 6 to replace Proctor ? Does the manager actually follow the scores during the meeting?

Not sure about pottinger? I don't know his pedigree... my compliment of the post was due to the fact that someone else acknowledged the need to replace the manager. LR sounds like a great guy, but he's not a championship manager imo!

Great Post!

The only way we/bham could improve on crowd numbers is: if we had a radical change of team name and became a collaborated/amalgamation of B'ham/Coventry/Cradley... (possibly Wolverhampton next season...) I can't see why that wouldn't work.... after all, what's in a name?

Good suggestions... probably would be cheaper too! I don't believe that the manager has the balls to do it though! Kemp and Joe are no brainers right now!

Just about to say the same thing....but I don't think it will improve us by much.... Lose both reserves and bring in Kemp!

I think it will need at least 3 changes.

All valid points....each individual will most likely relate to a few of these points. For me...it's the team....the location isn't great as its a 25 mile round trip....the viewing areas are sh#te....what's causing concern atm is the 'slick track'....yawn yawn racing!!

£20 is a fair price for a night out IMO, but I'm aware that its not the same for everyone. Having a poor side doesn't help!.... Having a slick track with no passing doesn't help... I can't see where things are going to improve. Blind faith/loyalty is what we're going to survive on.

A new manager would be the best signing ! Rogers just hasn't got it and we won't last the season with him in charge of team affairs.

I think/hope that we can push Scunthorpe close and might just edge it . We can't use the excuse of not being race ready anymore! If we can't beat Scunthorpe at home, then it's going to be a very long season! (no disrespect to Scunthorpe, but there are stronger sides in the League...)

Bad news for us then

They'll be plenty of chances for that tonight....

Looks like Complin has had enough of spending time with his new born ?

It's most likely the only way that we have a chance of winning!

Class! Looks a great race track!

Do us a favour... lol This is the worse bham team that I can remember and ive been going for 52 years!

Been saying this for months!
