I would love to be racing top flight again next season I just hope we can pull together a competitive team . Could Rosco be tempted to manage the team ? Will we be signing any former Wolves riders ? Will Stevebrum become a regular down PB ? Lots to discuss ..... This is the worry. Not just for Brum but Lynn as well. I hope everyone is competitive, same in tye Championship. The gap between those with resources and good sponsorship & crowds needs to narrow and not widen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A higher points limit suggests the strong clubs get stronger, most of the Wolves riders you'd want to sign appear to be going to Leicester Becker would be worth an enquiry and you could get Steve Worrall. Brum are going to need to get some heat leaders from somewhere especially a good no 1, I wish them well with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noaksey (or any Wolves supporter ) out of interest if the Brummies signed lets say Becker ,Flint and Masters as an example would you come watch the Brummies regularly or would it make no odds to you attending for your speedway fix ? Maybe even Getting fast Freddie as number 1 ? I am sure some I have named of these have already signed else where I'm just using name's as examples .

I don't think the likes of Becker or Worrall would make a huge difference, I think there might be a handful of Wolves fans that will attend PB regularly. Someone like Lindgren though would be a game changer, that would probably give Birmingham the best chance of attracting Wolves fans (albeit the team overall will have to be decent, otherwise interest will wain quickly) I'd certainly do a few at PB if he signs whereas it would be 1 or 2 otherwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quality Euro riders like Hefenbrock, Kvech, Lahti, Mickelson spring to mind. Smolinski is fit again. Lower down what about Brennan, Flint...

Not so sure about Smolinski we don't want the 2013 team being re-assembled haha, Brennan I think would be OK signing, wouldn't mind Dudek either if he wanted to come to UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower end of that figure at best I'd say plus they won't stick around if the team is pants irrespective of the likes of Lindgren I don't think having Adams would put a single person on the gate and he's already said he won't be going there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what a promoter mentioned in the SS a couple of months ago.. If you have other numbers, possibly he was adding in the value of the "complete package" including "free" advertising on Eurosport maybe?

Attracting fans over from Wolves on a regular bases could be make or break for the future of Birmingham speedway as if the crowds Birmingham had at Championship level, they were no where near big enough to support Premiership speedway you would've thought. Either that or they attract enough sponsorship to cover any losses and big or even medium sponsorships are pretty thin on the ground.

There must have been a sizeable financial carrot offered to Brummies by Phil Morris! I know Brummies had little choice - either Prem on Mondays or don't run at all - and PM was mentioning all sorts of financial benefits when presenting his case at the 'Save Coventry' inquiry hearing recently! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
