Now everyone wants the next seasons lineup released on November 2nd. Just relax I'm sure it will all be in place for the first meeting. There's a big difference between wanting to know the team towards the end of February & demanding to know the team at the beginning of November though!

Szkocjasid you seem to have made a very big jump from want to demand. Please check my post again. I think you will find the word "want" but not "demand" I was pointing out how patient fans were before social media & modern technology changed how people think. Back in the day we would meet once a week & discuss in our small groups which riders we would like to be our team for the coming season. Move forward to 2022 the small group have now expanded to the world of the internet & waiting at our hand on a small device all the imformation is there. The main difference is it might not be the correct imformation just an uninformed one from an impatient poster in another land. I repeat relax & be patient. There will be 7 riders on track for the first meeting all wearing a big red B on their chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are correct, but will those 7 riders with a big red B be competitive?, if they are not then the Brummies will struggle to complete the season, they seem to already be struggling to find major sponsors which was part of the pre season plan.

BSPL have given Birmingham a special dispensation to use Tai on a 13.5 average for home meetings only. They will be allowed to use up to a 9 point guest for away meetings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trawl back through the 82 pages worth of posts and if more than half of them bear any more than a passing resemblance to a relevance to Birmingham, I'd be amazed.

Dan may have "burst" onto the scene but he wasn't exactly an unheard of secret. The first time I heard of Dan was when he was announced he would be riding on his own in our second half, and someone said "he's worth watching". He hadn't rode for anyone at that stage and looked very raw on our tight bends. I particularly noticed he rode too close to the inside of 1st and 3rd bends, clipping the kerb practically every time. In his later rides he moved out, as you should, so he came out of those bends with a better line that he could maintain, before coming out of the 2nd and 4th corners wide like everyone else does. I obviously watched his progress after that as he was being treat very well with lots of second half track time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be argued that its relevant due to the unearthing of new talent and offering opportunities to them who might potentially fill team places in the future. I remember the Brummie buzz about the Thompson twins a few years ago and how they were going to be stars wearing the big red B in the near future (every other man and his dog knew they were Leicester bound but...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even argue that Russia's war in Ukraine is in "self defence". Fill yer boots. Argue what you like. At the end of the day, who cares? If Birmingham only has 4/7 riders in a team, you could even argue that there's nothing wrong with having only 4/7 posts relevant to the Brummies team themselves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would you use that as an example. And to be so flippant as to say who cares. Amend your post 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amend your post On one hand some say "stick to posts about Birmingham" On the other hand you get people from north south east and west telling us from Birmingham what we can and can't say on here. Well tough. If you don't like it, click away. Nobody's forcing you to be here. If you don't like the analogy of people arguing crap, feel free to disagree. If you want to call me names, well sticks & stones. Nobody cares. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the amount of non PR happening from us people from Birmingham id say its a blessing that this thread has any interest and isn't confined to page two like it will be for mostbof the season. I chose to be here, i chose who i want to engage with and read content from and i don't deem your input as worth bothering about so please join the elite club of idiots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Personally, I like to read anything 'speedway related' regardless of who's thread it is....just my opinion. If it's any consolation, I enjoy reading S4S and Uk Martins threads...both are usually interesting and 'balanced' views. Not sure why you guys are falling out.... Kiss and make up and lets get back to discussing anything speedway ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
