It's not the format this season. If we want to be able to make a comparison between the NL attendances and what a hypothetical CL attendance would be, then surely we've got to use the same conditions as far as is possible.

I can't see what difference it makes at all ??? This meeting is a one off ... I'm guessing the owners are wanting as many 'neutral'/'local' speedway fans to attend as possible, regardless of our future direction? A one off challenge match is not going to bring back 'past' Birmingham supporters.....we have to look at attracting 'new' supporters....once you lose the habit of going to a regular speedway meeting, it's very difficult to be enticed back these days! imo......

East End Fan Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Since there is a chronic shortage of capable riders in UK ( and in fact World-wide), we should not try to stop ANY rider who has a legitimate British Passport from riding in the "Training area" of the National League. If he has lived in this country for many years, and has no intention of returning to Poland, we should regard him as British. That is the law of the land. I do not see a problem. Good Luck to Birmingham if they sign him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck to Birmingham if they sign him. Im not sure anybody has stopped anyone riding who has a "legitimate Bristish passport" and once it has been provided to the governing bodies im sure a licence will be granted.....the issue at the start of the season (and in seasons past) is that the passport resides in Laurence Rogers mythical glove box along with Flint Snr's approval to ride and a collection of hens teeth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) 20 hours ago, ProudtobeaBrummie said: great idea great meeting rubbish format will confuse the kids and the newbies poor choice. Can you explain your reason(s) for "rubbish format"? Basically it is 3 pairs (1&2, 3&4, 5&6) riding against the opposition pairings giving 9 heats. Almost similar to how it is now! No 1&4, 2&5, 3&6 ride against their 2&5, 3&6, 1&4 respectively. These are the changes to our normal heats 2 & 8. Heats 13 & 14 are nominated pairings not including your top 2 who are in heat 15.

Guest GiveusaB Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think that's the end of our season...losing Danyon yet again !?

We were only saying last week Sid, that young Danyon would be better off playing the percentage game? He was in third place, with nobody around him and it was the last bend of the last lap ? poor lad ! he is a true-racer....which doesn't always pay off in this sport! It's hard to take the 'racer' out of an inexperienced/young upcoming rider ! Hopefully he'll learn...even if it's the hard way!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sam Ermolenko was one of the most out of control racers that i ever saw as a rookie look what he went on and did! Danyon will be fine maybe he needs to change thing's in his racing easier said than done good luck to him in the future.

Hope the management don't waste any money in bringing Greenwood back ? (no disrespect intended....) Have to respectfully disagree. If there is someone better than Greenwood available, then by all means sign him. (Incidentally when is the cut off for making signings?) But Danyon is fourth in the averages which means only one of our top three (Leon Flint.) can take his ride with the rest being shared our between Walker and the reserves. I would suggest that Dan Greenwood would score higher than them. It would be unfair to expect him to score as high as Danyon. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place But, to be honest, none of this is important. Danyon is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and I am devestated for him. Get well soon mate.

What do you disagree with ? season over ? or re-signing Greenwood ? there is no way we will beat Mildenhall/Eastbourne/Kent over 2 legs without Danyon ! Hence why I said not to bother with Greenwood..... Incidentally, I think the signing of riders has passed now ? I seem to recall reading a post relating to this (Jayne Moss....confirmed?) Shame, as I was feeling very optimistic up until last night !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that doesn't apply for injury replacements?, its madness if it does.

It's not just a random change at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
