Desperately needs a refresh as does the social media. A lot/most Clubs far better than us at it. Our commercial/marketing department needs a complete overhaul imo.....

Crabba59 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's true just look how strong Swindon are in that department with Lee looking after it. Think it just shows what Birmingham have missed out on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s not really the fault of THJ on this occasion he really can’t be trusted in the UK.

Col Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 So... Swap a 6.9 former GP rider for a 5.4 never gonna be. Is that the only change? I guess THJ sold a few season tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the management had limited options to replace THJ......if I remember rightly, VG performed reasonably well at PB last season? He'll probably end up at reserve with Paco coming in to the main body? Play-Off credentials have dropped massively : ) Edited March 11, 2020 by GiveusaB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Huge dent to Brums chances this season. I saw THJ as the real difference maker if he showed up as his average is at bargain levels however sadly so is his commitment to UK speedway. No slight on VG but a big ask to come in as third HL.

Quite right... My appetite for the new season has been suppressed by this team switch! VG will be behind Shanes/Morris and Paco in the averages....putting him 6th in the side....imo Thomsen will be back before we know it? (especially if he carried on the way he ended the season?)

Would have been a miracle if he'd completed the season anyway so probably not a bad thing to have to make the change now. Grobauer showed some promise last year and will do a decent job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been hearing this about him for years including his various spells in the top flight. Always appears to be on a bargain low average. The reality is that it isn’t a bargain at all as he has been hugely overrated for a huge chunk of his career. At championship level you would expect his average to be much higher but the truth is because of his general lack of interest in riding in the UK I’d say that is mostly his level these days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 If Grobauer was worth signing he'd be in the Rebels 1-7. Asking Morris or Shanes to stand up as third heat leader after their injuries last year is asking too much. I do wonder if the THJ "signing" was a publicity stunt to flog season tickets, he was never coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
