No Auty and no Ellis so what are the realistic options for the Brummie promotion? Use the season ticket money to top up what Ellis would have been taking as British Champion and sign a good foreigner. There are folk like Sam Jensen or Danny Gappmeier to name but two that I'm sure could do a job as a 2nd string. Or go to Wolves and ask for their American Luke Becker to double up even? There are always options especially when you owe it to misled fans. Edited May 16, 2022 by cinderfella Adding name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Honesty costs zero, the brum fans would have been annoyed at having a lesser team but would have been more accepting of the reasoning. The way it's been handled would boil my piss if I were a brum fan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies23 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Could as wolves for Luke Becker? go to belle Vue and ask for a rider to double up. Or see if the the management could pull something out the bag and bring supports back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enotian Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 like tramps picking up fag butts to pull a team together. whose to blame? the tramps or society for turning their back on them? don't worry if you don't get the analogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison I keep making in my head is Plymouth in 2020/21. Seemed to be honest with the fans, had to scrape team together at last minute but kept the fans on side.

Hamish McRaker Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 If I was a Brummies fan, the bit in that club statement about not wanting to get on the wrong side of Adam Ellis (because yer never know, he might return or even come back as a guest) would have been the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Not because I'd hold any grudge against Ellis, but because I'd feel like I'd had sand kicked in ma face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow68....message to you....you had the cheek to slate me two weeks ago after I criticised management tactics v Scunthorpe....hope to read your thoughts about current situation ? I have not commented as I do not have anything to say - it’s simple - if you don’t have a positive thing to say best not say anything at all. Simple. I was having a go at you quite simply because I didn’t agree with your comments around Young James. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackrat Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 So replace Ellis 9-10 points with Sedgman 5-6 points a meeting. Every meeting will now be very close or heavy defeat. It has been dealt with badly by the Brum promotion no doubt but the choices are use it or lose it. Get yourself a Cov board & have a cheap night out if you like speedway?
