Why does everyone think Glasgow are first in the queue for Tom Brennan if Eastbourne fold? As a fan I would love to have Tom in the team, but tbh I can't see us making changes with so little time left, I suspect we will go with guests to replace Ulle, although a couple of other riders could be doing with being replaced as they have been disappointing, Ulrich is a big miss, every year we have lost out due to injuries, 2019 it was Paul Starke, 2018 it was Craig Cook and this year it is Ulrich, I think we need a bit of good luck for a change. And I hope Birmingham survive as I enjoyed my trips down last couple of times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not IF there are to be Team Changes.Was there not hint that they were looking.Brennan would be unlikely this season given the Eastbourne situation needing be resolved very quickly for anything to happen on the front.All I’m saying is when Glasgow want someone it usually happens They do deserve a bit of luck given what they have put into the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies23 Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 If the masons want the play offs then they need to get rid of Shanes, Morris and grobauer. How many more chances do they need? Kemp free, Kennett free and even Newman are free. Sort it out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again clueless Me clueless.. thinking these riders are good enough. Don’t see us winning away this season. Fighting not to finish bottom with this team. Hopefully we only have Thomas and maybe Harris next year if we carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Birmingham have no chance of making the play-off's, regardless of any changes. Haven't checked averages in regards which Eagle could replace which Brummie. With a decent third heat leader instead of Grobauer this septet wouldn't be far off.

The cut-off point for changes has passed, so unless a change has been lodged with the BSPL but not publicised yet the team will remain the same.

Col Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I don't think they should make a change, they're holding their own at home which when the home meetings don't clash with football fixtures will mean a decent crowd, getting thumped away will reduce the averages for next year. It only needs one rider change for that team to be challenging, a heat leader instead of Grobauer. Move Morris to two where I think he'll prosper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I wouldn't be critical of any B'ham rider this season....the pressures of an on/off campaign.....not knowing from week to week what's happening.....poor track conditions....(not just at home by looks of it....) if there had to be a change then it would obviously be Grobauer, but we all knew that could/would be the case before a wheel was turned.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, they've done well under difficult circumstances and apart from Scunthorpe at home, have either won or lost on a last heat decider if I remember right. Home entertainment has been good and this is important for any club and the fans have been brilliant too. We might not make the play offs but it's been nice to have racing back at Perry Barr and hopefully next season will be even better! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 I don't get to many away meetings to watch Leicester because of the geographical implications of the majority of teams in this league, but I did enjoy my visit to Perry Barr a few weeks ago. Despite my team losing and the unacceptably dusty track, it didn't put me off returning (Brummies financial circumstances permitting). Home fans and track staff were very friendly and good humoured. The opportunity to casually enter the pits and do a track walk with riders (chatted with the very open Ashley Morris) sticks in my mind. I even started to eaves drop on the Brummies team talk they were having between bends 1 and 2 (but they just seemed to be taking the mick out of each other) before walking back to the terraces. From this experience, I would be gutted if the Brummies (add in Newcastle) couldn't come to the tapes next year. The sad fact however is that it appeared that at least half of the crowd were away supporters and I doubt that other visiting teams would be represented by similar numbers (in view of it being a midweek track and there being no other teams an hours travelling time). Despite it being the second largest city in the country, if the interest in the sport isn't there, what can you do? Enough promotions have tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) After the last two meetings at Perry Barr where the supporters spent more time watching tractors go around the track than 500cc bikes and the woeful showing at Edinburgh. I think it's time to pray the Brummies are with us in 2022. Absolute disaster of a season. Edited September 10, 2021 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope that there is someone out there brave enough to take up the promotion duties at Birmingham lets be honest if the second city cant support Speedway then where can it get enough support?.

There are many reasons why speedway is struggling in Brum. The size of the city is no guarantee of support. Pick up the stadium and plonk it in the middle of Dudley and it'd be packed out for every match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can see that might happen, is if Laurence Rogers becomes the saviour and B'ham drop back to NL? (not a preferred 'level' choice....but that's where his expertise lies imo...) He has a lot of positive contacts within the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
