Brummie Boy Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) On 19/01/2018 at 2:26 PM, GiveusaB said: My opinion is that a Club Official should conduct themselves in a professional manner and accept criticism good/bad....without verbal confrontation, or challenge! On the one hand I would agree club officials should try and avoid getting into confrontations on social media, as very often personal views quickly become construed as club views. Unfortunately, criticism is part and parcel of any job when managing a sports team, as the passions of supporters often run high and everyone is an expert when it comes to what should or should not be done. I am sure Laurence Rogers knows this from his years of experience in the sport and accepts it as part and parcel of the job. However, on this occasion I think the accusations made of LR were beyond the level of normal criticism anyone would or should be expected to take. I know if I was in a similar position to LR I would want to defend myself, whether I was the Brummies team manager or not.

Laurence and Mark Phillips received nothing but praise from the Devils fans as were very open and honest with the fans on the Devils forum and everyone seemed to find their attitude refreshing. From what i saw last season Laurence was a very approachable top bloke and certainly will be a loss to Plymouth this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Laurence is one of the best men in the sport at NL level and worked with many top riders too, good luck to him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RobMcCaffery Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 A very sad aspect of the BSF is the loudmouths who love to insult all and sundry in the sport who are actually trying to make it work, while very conveniently hiding behind stupid false names and claiming 'freedom of speech'. When someone working in the sport and prepared to talk openly under their own name here then tackles them they then hide behind accusations of 'unprofessionalism'. Yes, this is a forum. No it doesn't give you the right to behave like a poisonous anonymous coward and squeal when someone rightly stands up for themselves and bites back. Good luck to Laurence in his new job. I had no idea he had the divine power to shut tracks though ;-) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your referring to the claims that hes a track shutter i have no idea what that is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well said Rob McCaffery. Too few people on this forum actually seem to appreciate the work that is done to present the sport by a few dedicated individuals, some of whom invest thousands of pounds in pursuit of success as well as contributing countless hours of work. Having known one or two promoters at a personal level way back in the past, I have a totally different viewpoint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Boy Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Was very concerned looking at the Swindon fixtures that Mitchel Davey would potentially be missing for at least half our home fixtures this year. However, just read on the Brummies website we are planning to run on some Tuesdays next year. Relieved to see this is a way round the problem for the team, even though it means I'll miss some meetings due to having other commitments on a Tuesday. Damn !!!

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Liam Carr to manage the Birmingham Bulls . Brilliant news i am a massive fan of Liam both on and off the track he will be such a positive influence on us in 2018 and a huge fans favourite a masterstroke from the club . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Its great that Liam is back on board,but i would prefer him riding!!... Good luck to him though.. As for Davey, he has 11 Swindon fixtures on a wednesday out of 22 available home dates for the Brummies up till September, i think we will only have 2 or 3 Tuesday meetings, no worry for me as i used to attend the old PB on a Monday and i think a Friday?, why do teams miss a Tuesday for fixtures i don,t know.... Biggest worry is Hume,s Ipswich away fixtures as he rides on a Thursday 25 times, a Sunday 3 times and Saturday once, think we will miss him away quite a few times.!!!!? unless the fixtures are worked out perfectly.

Think you should be alright with Hume? Only Isle Of Wight run on a Thursday? If he only has 3 Sunday clashes & 1 Saturday the very worst case is he would miss Buxton, Covenry & Mildenhall Away on the Sundays & Stoke/Eastbourne on the one Sat. However if the planners cannot negate at least half of that i would be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Still no confirmation looks like spooner which means another season of unattached number 7s i would suspect by the way something i do not agree with should name a number 8.

I think Spooner will be pushing his luck if he intends to stay unattached again this year? Seems more likely he will feature at reserve than risk getting an average as an unattached rider and risk being frozen out. That said whoever it is will most probably get 3 rides a match anyway with Flint, Cupitt & Walker swapping into the other reserve berth which rightly or wrongly is one of the keys to success in the NL.
