Are you the new PR for B'ham then ? I would have thought that 'simply' existing is the most positive outcome that B'ham fans could have? It's attracting 'new' fans that's the problem.... The main problem of having a weak team (IMO) is that it's less appealing for a neutral/(or fan from another team) to come to Perry Barr on the odd occasion. From a team perspective...we have got a very solid number 1 and a very solid reserve in Proctor (if he lasts....) I think we'll hold our own at home, which in-turn will encourage the afore mentioned 'neutral/s' to come and see some decent/competitive racing every now and then. After all, who wants to see teams 'slayed' every week? boring!

Newman will move up in to the team and Rowe will drop to reserve at some point. Rowe at reserve will excel....

Not sure you can compare B'ham reaching top 6 this season, when most other teams are different compared to last season ? Your pitching this seasons team selection against 'other' teams last season selection ? (apart from Edinburgh of course....)

Being professional, as opposed to looking professional is more important IMO!

Not sure I see the benefit/point of making Teams all wear the same 'suits' .... good old fashioned 'bibs' are my preferred choice and a great souvenir for the kids (replica's from track shop) etc.... Besides, there's that many guest appearances these days..... Whatever happened to 'individual expression'...the world is full of conform this and conform that..... Sorry...going off on a bit of a tangent here....

Or at least that's what we'll be saying to the opposition at each meeting!

What? Poole putting a rider out of work to make the team stronger? C'mon...we all know that Poole will do whatever it takes to give them the best possible chance of 'winning' ! (quite rightly so IMO!)

But you don't now ? (it's just a bit of banter...)

Surely Poole are not panicking about final team selection ?

yehhhh....you never know when you're going to receive a ban and the income stops !

If and its a big IF...he lasts the season....then he will most likely be the only rider that improves his average (marginally...) Personally, I think it's a replacement for Tate Zische....just my thoughts. I think a Kangeroo should be our new mascot!

I think B'ham fans didnt want to see that one coming ?

May be that's what he tells all the girls ?

Ashley Morris goes well at Redcar (if I remember rightly...) similar average ?

If Bailey is a better signing than Shanes, then why didn't Redcar sign him initially? Don't think there's much to choose between them.

Always look to the present, it's the only 'time' that exists!

Not sure where I've stated anything to do with 'happiness' ? Just merely pointing out what I think is a mistake with team building, after last seasons debacle.

It's a 4 point rider... can't see what any excitement or concern this/that would cause . Morris on a 10 is the damage and fault for the season IMO

I agree, from an adults perspective, yes, they are boring.....but when I was a kid and I hadn't seen a wheel turned since the previous September....I couldn't wait to go...just the noise and the smell would captivate me ! say no more!

Unless you follow Kings Lynn

A missed opportunity to promote IMO.... And nothing comes from the first 'P' apart from a few poxy photos and 30 seconds local media coverage if you're lucky? The press coverage should be promoting the sport in the area and aimed at 'new' faces, with a sample of the sport F.O.C !

I can never understand why P&P day is during the week (having to book time off work if wanting to attend....plus kids are at school etc)....wouldn't a Saturday/Sunday be more suitable... It's an opportunity to promote the Club etc.....

The longer the final signing drags on, the bigger the anti-climax when it's announced

Nobody cares about gossip

Birmingham 'Blinders' !
