I never thought I’d say this but it wouldn’t bother me if the season ended Tommorow, it seems the team I support have become a complete laughing stock amongst many fans I can understand giving young Ben a place this season if you had a solid rider supporting him in the other reserve berth but to put a youngster with a complete unknown is crazy and no one will convince me otherwise and then when you realise it’s not working to leave it this long without doing something I just don’t get it at least Birmingham are being proactive, the next few days will be very interesting.I realise I’ve hijacked the Birmingham thread again and I’m very sorry for that.

thats because the second div thinks its the first div and some teams can't keep up, needs a rethink

Scary thought that Batchelor is still without a ride

Please God, NO NO. NO  NO 

I don't understand the anti-Batchelor comments, he has a 7+ average. So on this season's form he'd be an improvement for every Birmingham rider!

Been a laughing stock for a few years to be fair!

Like, banning any rider with an average of, say, over 8 in the Premiership from riding in the Championship? That would mean that riders with an awkward average would get a team place instead of being unemployable, as now.

So lets presume Hagon for Pearson and a solid 3rd heat leader for Wright (Howarth?). What other changes are coming? Surely Nielson will be replaced?

There are some gems out there, its just the small matter of finding them.

Again more points available when the next lot of averages are released, 2 or 3 maybe?  Rew for Neilson????

I haven't done any maths but all of a sudden I see a very solid lineup.

Whilst LR was in charge, the "Tactical Facility" was a staple of the Brummies lineup almost since day one. Let's hope that with a new team manager, the Brummies can go back to being a 7-man team again.

The 2 names that I have heard mentioned are one newcomer and one old hand ie Rew and Andersen, would they both fit ?, I think Rew would be a very good signing, Andersen is just earning his pension money these days.

Remember Hans has Danish League commitments on many Wednesdays - even though the Danish League has its seasonal break in July

Birminghams troubles are not the Thompson boys.

Crowds of around 400 to 450

Landlords who seem uninterested in Speedway. 

An Owner who in his own words has already put in and lost 250k 

Concerns about Planning Permissions for development of the area not already developed

A poor side is immaterial compared to those hurdles.

If it's true HGould that the owner as already put 250k into the club? How long can it last

They have obviously signed someone to replace James Pearson (Sam Hagon ?) and Kenyan Rew to replace James Wright would be a very good signing, they simply have to beat Berwick at Perry Barr on wednesday if they are to have any hope of making the play offs.
