Maybe you have expectations that can't be delivered at this point. If you expect to be challenging the top teams, dream on. The Mason's have put together a side that suits their budget in their first year in the Championship and you never know how that will spin out throughout the season. In 1997 when we opened up Newcastle, some fans had similar thoughts. One rider got injured and we replaced him mid season, whilst one rider got a broken leg in our Press and Practice meeting and our top rider got a broken collarbone in our first meeting. We finished 3rd at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely. Whilst it is clear that budgets need to be stuck too the Brum team assembled isn't so much poor as dull. Shanes will give a few thrills and who knows what will happen when the Oystercard red mist comes down but the rest are just solid. Perhaps it shows a shift in expectations that fans want entertainers and not just winners? Although the lack of winners may be the issue with this side? I can't see that many last places but can't see that many heat wins either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash inordinate ammounts of cash on something that the Brummies would currently find unaffordable, and end up in the same place as the Workington Comets. Reality can teach some harsh lessons and fans need to be mindful of that. 2019 may not feature a team of Galacticos, but at least it's a team that should ensure some continuity of the club into 2020 and hopefully beyond. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer the alternative??? Another 'BORING' season in the mickey mouse NL ??? You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm chuffed that we've moved up and I'm confident of seeing some 'value for money' racing at PB this season! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Tough start for the Brummies with two trips to Arlington in April but if they need to make an early change I can see Bradley Wilson Dean who is well known to David Mason being drafted in now Workington have gone. There is nothing boring about him. I hope Brummies have a decent year as Mason is a real Speedway enthusiast and has taken on a real challenge.

HGould Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Nice to have the Fixtures out, a bit frustrating for both us and Eagles I suppose to be drawn in same Shield Group and KOC; although David won't have far to go for his first 2 away matches (ahem LOL). I would think a few might look at BW-D not in the least Eastbourne themselves, but I think you really have to give declared 1-7's their chance as it does not seem ethical to me to chop/change before they have had a chance to turn a wheel. Opposite reaction from me to some in that I can't wait for the season to start and planning some nice Away trips already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shield Groups are regionalised (or as regionalised as possible), so were always going to be in the same group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Understood Steve, I was more referring to KOC. I also noted that BSPA had shown Leicester in Group with Birmingham; Eastbourne; Somerset (on Speedway GB website prior to Fixtures) but at 11th hour they have been moved North. The Borders Group which was 3 Teams (missing Workington) has now been boosted to 4 Clubs? Call me cynical but seems to favour the "old guard" with an extra meeting conveniently disadvantaging the 3 new boys - Somerset from PL and Birmingham and Eastbourne from NL. I suppose many will say "we have to pay our dues LOL" so will take it on the chin! Good Luck for the coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirio Barre Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Loving the last 3 fixtures of the season, I don't think its going to happen but imagine if Birmingham are in with a chance of the play offs going into those last 3 meetings, what a weekend away that could be.Stuff it don't matter if we are bottom of the league still gonna be a great weekend Only thing that could make it better is if the SPL fixture gods give HMFC a home game on the Saturday, Sporting heaven Edited January 30, 2019 by Pirio Barre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
