He rides in Denmark on Wednesdays, did you want another vissing situation? And in that scenario Glasgow had to buy that contract, yes did a deal to swap son of god's registration but are Birmingham in such a position? Doubt it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 1 hour ago, HGould said: 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. Tbh I've never considered moving up was ever really a goer. But with now having Tom and Ben as assets, cookie doing a bit of average reduction at Sheffield this year () then there's probably no better time especially with doubts over Edinburgh. I wish the Brummies well and as Tom stays in Midlands would make sense for his PL club IF it happened. Like you say, he won't come cheap though and given he's guested often for you and not increased the gate this season would it get more through turnstiles as a FT Brummie? I hope it would but jury's out for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think edwards Starke Roynon have ridden for Dudley / Cradley but so has brennan so be fairer to have him in Heathens team?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 The Brummies could sign the top 3 in the world but it's not going to make any difference to the average Joe in the street. There needs to be a monstrous change in how speedway is put out into the public eye to make it sustainable otherwise deep pockets and passion just aren't going to be enough. And this goes to every club, not just Birmingham. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree putting out an over the top expensive Team just means you lose more money nowadays in Speedway. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 21 hours ago, lisa-colette said: Handy excuse. 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 To be fair, riders and clubs have been talking about next season since about June/July in most cases. It's not just Glasgow, any in demand rider will have been having conversations about next year for weeks by now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
