Surely ALL first couple of meetings are about track time first and foremost....

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Don’t know why the Birmingham fans think they’ve got a play off team? It’s bang average in a competitive league, Shanes in main body with Vissing and a finished Auty as heat leaders, if Ellis rides like he has in the past in this league, you will be nowhere 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brum potentially have two very good reserves all season and Ellis could be a very good spearhead, so like most other sides there is reason for optimism. Other than perhaps Newcastle no team looks out of the running to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really...might be for the riders/manager...but I'll be just happy surviving and getting value for money (on track entertainment) I grew out of getting excited about winning trophies a long time ago. May be being a West Brom fan has added towards that ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think Saturday, tonight and Wednesday is all about track time because the key to a good season for Birmingham will be survival, a decent season at home and getting fans through the gate. Anything more will be a bonus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree a club surviving is way more important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference (probably) is that with Poole its become a habit, so most likely expected.... whereas, we've not won much in all our years, so its a bonus if we do ... I don't get too worked up about results...it's more about the performance for me. (think its an age thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I have been lucky seeing so many finals, but you never know if it is the last one for a while. So I try to enjoy it as much as possible. I do hope Birmingham and Newcastle get decent crowds this season so they can continue for years to come. At least with the track sorted now, the racing should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
