I'm losing interest Quite right. Don’t know why you didn’t bother to spell Botox properly but it’s obviously getting under your skin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of any club, I stopped going to Speedway in 1992 when I was 9, I think I've only just got back into it the last 10 years mainly GP's I go to Foxhall often most home meetings last year but only going to manage a few this year I would imagine Hope brum if anything put an exciting team of riders who battle if anything 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe not...it could have been at the home grounds of West Ham or Burnley...they feature claret and light blue in their interior decorations too, don't they? Balance of probabilities though is that it was at Villa Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Great News The pub over the road from the stadium, "The Seventh Trap", is about to be demolished. In its place will be built a McDonalds Drive-Thru. Demolition will be finished before the start of the season, with construction to begin immediately afterwards. Should be ready in time for the play-off's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just two more riders to be announced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 And in other Great News... The pre-season publicity campaign has begun, with Birmingham Speedway blasting social media with announcements that the Brummies are back! I didn't have the heart to reply to it that at this moment in time only 4/7ths of the Brummies are back, Nor did I ask for a guarantee that each meeting will feature the advertised 15 "thrilling" races Still, good to see that there is optimism in the camp. Let's hope that in the 16 days that now remain between now and P&P day, that the remaining 3 "Sits Vacant" can be filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 To be fair, you'd soon be moaning if they weren't advertising the Brummies in the run up to the season! I believe they will have advertisements in the local free booklets that always get popped through the door, a decent idea to get folks on the doorstep interested and hopefully to spread the word. Like I've said before, the BSPA would have pulled the plug if Birmingham couldn't get a team together.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have more chance of attracting past fans back than encouraging new ones, but past fans wont come back unless we put a decent septet out? ATM....we look very amateur, unprepared and unconvincing, but I'm praying that will change ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit you don't see the words 'competence' and 'BSPA' in the same sentence too often but I think that they were very supportive of the Masons in helping them get through the season last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with "past fans" is anno domini....those who were in their 60's when speedway returned in 2007 will now be approaching their 80's and there won't be that many of them around as there used to be, sadly. And wouldn't you rather have new fans in their 20-50's who pay full fare at the door rather than old fans who pay half-fare, from the financial point of view?
