Birmingham 2014

Maybe not the end of Bartosz Zmarzlik then? Word from Poland is that Adam Skornicki is out for at least 3 months, and that he has accepted a managerial role at Leszno whilst incapacitated as a rider....so should the Brummies ask Zmarzlik to stay on? And would Zmarzlik be tempted to stay?

Yes, the Brummies management should ask him to stay on, and one would hope he is tempted to stay.

 

Tough luck on Sqora though, looks like he's going to miss out as the Brummies finally turn the corner. A bit of healthy competition for team places wouldn't have gone amiss at this stage of the season.

It says in the Mail today that Zmarzlik's contract wont be extended after July 3rd, we all thought that may have been the case but it wont be because Skornicki isnt returning. I am disappointed that it wont be extended, would loved to see him do enough meetings to at least become an asset which may have been a benefit to us further down the road. The signing of Bart should have been done with long term ambition in mind, bearing in mind it takes a while for a rider even with the quality he has to adapt to British tracks. Seems there's none of that at Birmingham

Be interesting to see what Birmingham do on July 3rd then. One riders short term contract ending and another injured so can't be re-introduced.

But does it say whose decision it was? If the rider doesn't want to come back there is nothing to be done...........

I meant to say in my post Skornicki isnt returning, Phillips has a rider lined up probably on another short term deal.

Plenty of ambition but little money to back it up, I guess!!

While I'm disappointed to miss out on a potential asset, I can't blame Phillips if we were constantly going to be dictated to by Polish loonies when he may or may not ride.

 

Where is your evidence to support the accusation that these are "Polish loonies"? What a stupid and racist thing to say.

 

Zmarzlik is first and foremost Polish, contracted to Stal Gorzow, and rides under a Polish license. Who the hell are we British to call Poles "loonies" because they look after their own? What right to the British have to expect the Poles to cow-down to us just because it suits us? You talk about the Poles like they are some kind of sub-human species who should be subservient to the British all times. Get real and kick out your delusions of grandeur. In todays world of international speedway, Poland are the dominant force and much as it pains me to say it, but thanks to the BSPA, Britain is very much a third or fourth rate nation now.

Having just got back from Poland. Their "looney" ways in promoting certainly pays off, something we should be aspiring too not criticising.

Although Bartosz won't be returning it seems another young Polish rider is coming in to replace Adam Skornicki, I just hope that Birmingham can see the rest of the season out and that a new Promotor can be found to run the club in the long term and secure.

 

A question to Birmingham fans do you think the club would be better supported in the Premier league and if they could secure Saturday night racing ?

Sure the greyhounds will see sense and give up their most popular race night to accommodate speedway ! Not

Is this young Polish rider going to be making his British League debut?
