Quite right...but they're not doing a very goods job of it atm according to reports.

That's great to hear. 'We' appreciate any support/attendance. I hope the owners take note of the points you make about being encouraged/inspired to attend. Signing a 'Wolves' rider would be a great PR/promotional move.

Apologies that my post came across that way...It certainly wasn't my intention... that's why I followed it up with 'my daughters first ever speedway meeting'... Exeter holds a nostalgic place in my speedway heart. I would never 'gloat/point score' about ANY speedway club folding/struggling....even 'Cradley' I read my post back and I can see why you thought that way....sorry for any confusion/offence.

Do you attend any meetings at B'ham ? just wondering what 'Cradley' fans do for a speedway fix these days? My old man used to take me to Dudley Wood (as well as B'ham) back in the late 70's early 80's (good old days...) there was always something more exciting about speedway on a Saturday night!

Why are you confused by this quote S4S ?

We have more chance of attracting past fans back than encouraging new ones, but past fans wont come back unless we put a decent septet out? ATM....we look very amateur, unprepared and unconvincing, but I'm praying that will change ASAP!

Will the 'seventh Trap' be completed before the 'seventh man'.... ha ha ha ....that's the big ?

Correct!

My kids very first speedway meeting was at Exeter...maybe 1993 ish...on holiday down In Devon... I bought both my daughters a falcon t shirt ... fond memories

Guessing that Falcon relates to Exeter.? Out of business a very long time ago ?

Fed up of mystery signings

Tom Ross buzzing at villa Park??? I don't think so!!!

In answer to the Topic Title...my opinion is NO!

Or may be...it's simply a 'fun-guy' ?

Think we might have more chance of signing 'magic johnson' the former USA athlete.

That's magic! pun...

Or, is it clever management/PR....B'ham's forum has never had so many posts !? This only works if they actually do come up trumps with the final signings ? Feel like I've had a season ticket to Blackpool's Big Dipper

It's very difficult to gauge what sort of team we're going to end up with ? The optimism shrinks by the day.... I know the rule of thumb is 'support your club at all costs'....but times have changed.... I want to know what I'm investing in before parting with any money, it's not because I've fell out of love with my club, it's more that I'm not so thrilled with the sport in general.

I'd say those stats rule him out ...may be its Chris Holder

One thing I can say about 'Monmore', the track may not be to everyone's taste, but the racing is decent, but above all that is a very enthusiastic 'atmosphere' ! Plenty of heckling/banter/good noise in general..... Speedway meetings at Wolverhampton are far more entertaining than at B'ham and not just because of the level of racing on show!

What you say is right....but it's the quality of the 7 riders...... that remains the question? If the 5th signing is an untried young Aussie on a 4.00 average, then that really doesn't hold much weight from where I'm sitting. Adam Ellis esq needs to be signed! It's obvious its not going to be AE.....there wouldn't be a hold up with paperwork etc ? Keeps us talking/guessing I suppose. P.s The track does look great though and I'm sure it will be great for the 'away' teams !

its looking that way

Yehhh...he's just checking his fixtures/schedule

Don't think anybody's that bothered with rumours anymore

If it is a young Aussie, I'm guessing a 4.00 average?
