That was outstanding, absolutely light years ahead of anything in this country in all aspects.

Embarrassing! Done with domestic speedway here, absolute shower of rubbish the 3 meetings I've been to this year, had enough.

First visit to Poole for me, only my third meeting of the season, after poor viewing at Peterborough whilst there were still restrictions, and a dust bowl at Perry Barr in June, can't say i'm particularly enthused following the reports of Poole's track conditions on Wednesday, but probably the last time I'll see the Brummies assuming the inevitable happens over the winter, so hopefully we can put up some sort of resistance and keep it within 10 to make it somewhat enjoyable.

Awful news. You were a hell of an entertainer Danny, even more so in a sporting world now lacking in true personalities. Rest in peace.

Looks like Ashley Morris signing to be announced in the morning if the Twitter clue is anything to go by.

Only meeting I'll make this season as I'm back over briefly from Canada, was concerned about the weather earlier in the week but it's turned out great, no excuse for the track not to be in great nick, two full strength teams and what should be a close, well fought meeting, thoroughly looking forward to it . Come on the Brummies!

Wajtknecht back, now that one is worth being excited about! Great stuff.

I don't mind not signing Hume, but having missed out on Flint and now signed Castagna to ride at reserve, and paying more for the privilege of him being a fairly worthless asset in all likelihood, I'm a little underwhelmed. Like the Morris signing but very meh about the other two at this stage. Good last 4 though will change that viewpoint around.

Very disappointed not to have Flint, hopefully we can get Jenkins instead.

Delighted to be back, definitely feels like the right move for the club, hopefully I can pick a meeting up when I come back to visit next year. I would steer clear of Hume, no talent issues but just can't trust him to stay healthy. Ellis, Bacon, Wajtknecht, Shanes and Flint I think leaves 6.65 for the last rider, I'd like to see that, plenty of scope for improvement in those 5.

Well with their latest social media post they have to be announcing moving up tomorrow surely, you wouldn't post that if you were staying put, would you?.......

Not for Birmingham it hasn't, they aren't the ones who announced they were moving up, that was the BSPA jumping the gun and they've had to rebuke it. Clearly they want to see what the make up of the NL is going to be before making that decision. But I sincerely hope we move up, without knowing the ins and outs of the finances, which is obviously the key, I feel like we have enough of a fan base to make the PL work, and it feels like it's time. We were shafted out of the EL because of a dodgy owner, rather than because it couldn't work if run effectively. All clubs should strive to go higher, and even more so one like us in a city like Birmingham. It's the right time for PL, I'd fear for our future more if we stay here, as much as the league has done good for us on our reformation.

The answer isn't scrapping the playoffs it's ensuring teams get their fixtures scheduled and run well before the cut off date, which should be the end of August, and if they don't there should be serious consequences.

Speedway in October is an absolute farce, we should only be riding in this month if we've had a historically wet summer. League programmes should be completed by end of August, playoffs done in September, no excuse for continuing into when it starts getting cold and wet, and even more so after a summer like the one just gone.

Cracking job Tai, best British rider ever, quality.
