Jaizer Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Given Birmingham owners comments on BSN at U21 final the insinuation is that Brennan and Pickering are signing for Birmingham next season? I think Glasgow and Edinburgh management will have some serious issues with that!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it would happen but you can see the logic, Wednesday night race day would free up the weekends more.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathen52 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Jeez I was going to come over to watch this, however seeing the assembled Cradley Team I wont be coming to watch our noses rubbed in the dirt, thats a poor team thats been put together under the Cradley name, I make it 3 Heat leaders for the Brummies and 1 for Cradley which can only mean a drubbing, No thanks my money is staying in my pocket.

*JJ Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 And the problem is, the Cradley riders are supposed to be those who have had a connection with the club. Given that Cradley have not been in the top league for over 20 years, who could they have as heat leaders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Based on his initials 'Bomber' should have been nailed on for the Spoons! Disappointed that any current Wolves riders would ride in CH colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Glasgow and Edinburgh management will have some serious issues with that!! It's only logical really if as people have suggested Glasgow move up (their set up deserves highest level but they'd lose local derbies and I'm not sure the highest level is as interesting or competitive as CL) and if Edinburgh either can't get new Stadium sorted in time or more likely can't use Armadale for at least part of the season until it is ready. Then presumably Brennan as an asset would ride for Glasgow in top league and Pickering would need a Club in the CL too. Both then would have most weekends free for Poland or European International opportunities. I have to say whilst applauding everything Nigel and his new team have done that the losses he has admitted too very openly are just not sustainable in any sensible assessment. Ball park 150-200 k for 2021 has been quoted. Its possible costs may be cut more but I doubt either Brennan or Pickering would take a pay cut to ride for Brummies and may cost more than we have. I just can't see crowds rising substantially so the only option, which Nigel has mentioned would be to either bring in new Directors (he said two) or new Sponsorship (presumably by a new Promoter or Specialist - possibly Lee Kilby/ who is very popular at PB) Theres a lot of if's and but's there, IF Glasgow go up, if Edinburgh don't run and equally IF Brummies do run. I will enjoy some good riders on Wednesday and baiting the old enemy from dingle land and fingers crossed we will have Speedway at PB in 2023. Whatever happens Mr Tolley a massive THANK YOU, I suspect you've lost a small fortune and far more than envisaged and no one would blame you if you pulled stumps but as always no one sees the lots of things Owners and Promoters do right and just moan about dust and bumps and the occasional glitch. THANKS to ALL connected with Brummies in 2022. I haven't been to as many matches as i'd like, initially some by choice and latterly due to some unexpected family issues but its that time of year when you realise best to support while its there so I look forwards to purchasing a 2023 season ticket for the first time in many years and thank you for your efforts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be going over old ground here and will no doubt get told off by certain Glasgow fans BUT.... I still think it is a bit shady imo that Glasgow supposedly tried to do a deal during a playoff final when he is riding for the opposition! Surely a conflict of interests potentially but should have waited til it was over. And breathe.. I probably still be going on about it in 20 years tbf lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
