Birmingham Brummies 2020

Sadly Birmingham is run by an elected mayor called Andy Street who must rank as the worst politician of any Party in the UK and a City Council who are completely useless. Between them they could not shell a pea.

The Commonwealth Games - Village and various sites, may in the long term be to the benefit of Brummies in their current location but certainly for 2020 / 2021 / 2022 season won't do us any favours.

As for Wheels, it's in an awful location and was never really developed along lines intended. It is a shame that the council have screwed over the stock car, kart and other promotions/businesses working there as they all did good jobs.

 

 

 

Lets get a few facts straight...

Birmingham is run by a Labour council, whose decision it was to demolish the flyover in Perry Barr. The driving force were Councillors from wards far away from Perry Barr, who paid no regard to the Liberal Councillors of Perry Barr or to the people of Perry Barr, nor to the objections of Walsall or Sandwell Councils. Such is democracy in a Socialist controlled City.

Andy Street is a Tory Mayor of the WEST MIDLANDS, i.e. NOT Birmingham, He has no jurisdiction over Birmingham as was shown by the fact that his opposition to the demolition of the flyover counted for nothing. 

Labour policy is one of "the motorist is the enemy" and people need to be coerced into using more public transport in order to save the world, or at least to improve the air quality in the inner city where most Labour voters live.

As has been said, it's going to be 25 months of hell in Perry Barr, the price that has to be paid for a better future.

We usually get to/from Perry Barr on the North A34 and park at the One Stop, how affected are we likely to be by the changes?

Big trouble ... I usually park outside the tile warehouse on the A34, and go round the block via Church Road on my way home (being too tight to pay for parking at the stadium).

100% Fact and true and for the record Andy Street is doing a pretty decent job in his role of major of west midlands.

Including ignoring people who asked for his views on turning Lion Farm Playing Fields     https://lionfarmproposals.com/       into an Outlet Village, I predict here and now this will become a white elephant if these proposals go through, we have a new Outlet Village at an advanced stage just up the M5/M6 at Cannock, make no mistake Andy Street is looking for a peerage of some sort, so he wont want to upset his Tory party donor property developer Jeremy Knight Adams.

I always assumed Birmingham picked Jack Thomas at reserve rather than Danyon Hume due to points limit, but just looked and seen they could've used Hume instead of Thomas & still been under the points limit! Odd they wouldn't want Hume!

People will disagree with me but he was very poor for us last season  .10 points from 5 meetings averaging 2.00. Granted maybe not given long enough . The amount of points he throws away over riding is beyond frustrating. Rumour has it he was dropped via a text message so the split wasn't very harmonious .He also took to social media to be a little critical of the management.

Andy Street is very much Elected Mayor of Birmingham which is part of the West Midlands in this context.

Very good on jumping on bandwagons and very good at hiding when the going gets tough.

Classic 21st century politician on a huge wage!

Could have been worse tough as he narrowly beat Karren Brady to Tory nomination

Quite right PtbaB….thank you for pointing that out...… my opinion is based on what I've seen of both riders at their best.....It's not a negative swipe at Danyon. I love watching Danyon ride a bike, he's an out an out racer......I just remember Jack Thomas being a class act when he won the British U19 semi Final at PB 2 seasons ago!

Lawrence Rogers and David Mason obviously agree with me ?:t:

Hume is definitely on the pace, but can't control the bike for 4 laps on a regular basis! He broke Ellis's collar bone last season! FACT!

I hope Danyon lands a champ place somewhere and is able to return and score big at Perry Barr. If he could get in at Poole and link up with his old mentor he would be able to make the step up with more confidence. In Jack Thomas Brum have a likeable lad who is well prepared but may be lacking a few HP and could definitely suffer confidence issues if he fails to get a NL ride.
