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 ?

 

Don't think it will come to that. Have heard that Birmingham will be NL next year, doing a direct swap with Cradley. Pearson & Co will run the Heathens from Perry Barr, as they have a supporter base (even if they don't have a track) capable of sustaining a team in the EL, Alan Philips will have no choice but to sell his EL license at a fire salvage price in order to get some cash back, to make a fist of running in a league that he can afford.

 

Then Pearson will have his full revenge for getting dumped on by the Brummies management last year when he had to "resign" as press officer. Cradley elevated, probably with Hancock as #1, the Brummies humiliated and relegated to the lowest league. Pearson's revenge will be complete and it will be every Heathens fans dream come true.

I personally would welcome a return to the Pl with open arms, I feel totally disillusioned with this league. The amount of meetings we see where teams are using guests and RR all the time is a joke. Fans when they pay their money want to see two evenly matched sides going at each other, not one sided meetings. Its got so worse this year with the introduction of the draft system, take Paul Starke for example, I read hes missing 14 Brummies away this year, its way too much. It feels like we are going into most away matches of late with depleted sides. You just dont want to see that.

 

Whether we are for or against the club being in the Elite, its all boils down to enough people coming through the turnstiles to make it pay. The fact is this year our crowd levels at times have not been good enough, some might say its because of where we are in the league and the team we have, I disagree. Last year, the crowds for the first half of the season were poor and that was with a winning team, I reckon it was what lead the club to have the big financial trouble it had. Dropping to the Pl wont get them flocking in but lowering the costs and including the assets we have like , King, Ludvig Lindgren, Nico Covatti and Rusty Harrison might make it a lot more sustainable then what it is now.

The future of Birmingham speedway is in doubt after the promoter Alan Phillips has had enough!
