To a speedway fan, not a lot, to a Brummies fan everything.

I can understand that from a 'passion' point of view and if you took me back a few years, I'd have certainly agreed. 

I feel that I'm a 'Brummies' fan, so to speak, have been going since 1971, but the name isn't important to me....

As a new club entering the premiership I hope they get first refusal on the Peterborough and Wolverhampton riders before the other vultures make their move 

Would imagine that 'Bham' wont be the only club joining the Prem....if the structure/s stay the same?

P.s Harris/Jenkins would be welcome additions! :D

Nigel said he was extremely close to singing tarasenko. So I imagine he will be there next season.

Who else are you thinking of? 

Nobody in particular...was just looking at it from a meagre 6 Team League, which doesn't sound too thrilling...having said that...I think we'd get better entertainment than what's been served up in the Championship this season (from a B'ham perspective....)?

That would depend upon Nigel actually producing the quality team that he had been promising for the last two years as opposed the two garbage teams we’ve had foisted upon us !! 
talk is cheap but when it comes to walking the walk, we’ll that hasn’t happened  yet. All well snd good spouting off about all the quality riders contacting the club begging to ride for us ( look at this time last year!!!), then we get none of those intimated snd end up with the garbage team we had this year 

with them saying Dickson won’t be involved, let’s prey that Laurence  Rogers has absolutely nothing to do with the team building or we are screwed before we start. Sort the new manager first then let him sort the team 

i won’t hold my breath

The biggest benefit will be riders screaming out for a Premiership club. The problem Birmingham had this year is that although they were willing to put together a good team they had to compete with 8 other clubs for the signatures.

Let’s hope so as Nigel is willing to spend the money. 
the biggest problem last year was letting Laurence rogers have a say in team building ,he’s clueless on that front  . 
just don’t let Laurence Rogers have any involvement in team building. and we may have a chance .

OR, how about starting where we left off last time by signing a rider who's not appeared in the Premiership since his last appearance for the Brummies - Bartosz Zmarzlik?

Totally agree with that!

I think Nigel realises that too!

That podcast did make me realise how bad their team building is though. Yes they are on a smaller budget but they were still banging on about how they thought that team could challenge for the play offs. They need to hire someone like Peter Adams to build a reliable team. 

They need riders that people want to see at the club. I'd be on the phone now to bomber and make him captain. May as well take tarasenko along with him. I think Birmingham will play it safe but also have a reliable side next year. 

Here's a one that took 2 mins to think of

Masters, Pickering, Harris, Tarasenko, Z Cook, Sedgmen, RS. Not a title winning team but at least at home it would be strong.
