And 99% them not seeing the season out! Madness! They were on the brink in the CL. They must think they're going to pick up Wolves punters

Agreed it's absolute madness, Birmingham have tried this before what's the difference going to be this time?

If they think they'll get substantial numbers of Wolves fans I think they might be mistaken

Is it just as much about another club not going out of business and trying to keep the sport going when it is under threat from so many angles. Birmingham may not be many people’s cup of tea but give credit to those running Birmingham speedway for looking to keep the club going. They may not attract Wolves fans but you still have many Speedway supportes who do not follow one club but the sport as a whole and for what it is. Other parts of the speedway world don’t solely rely on club/league racing and do quite well so let’s all get behind those willing to invest given you have others walking away (Chapman and Peterborough.

If you're referring to my post, I used the word 'rumours' not 'news'.

Nope, referring to the thread, don't understand people asking "does anyone have any news" if there was official news we'd all know it, anything else would just be rumours / opinions.

This place is absolutely wild.

The variety of discussion and debate available on this forum is outstanding, but it’s almost as if some are utterly outraged that someone’s opinion would differ from theirs, then it spills into borderline verbal abuse. Relax.:lol:

Think certain riders especially some of the poles always slag off English tracks. Lambert isn't helping this situation either. 

All this slagging off uk tracks, just to put it in to context Lambert won heat 5 last night with the fastest time of the night, which I think I read elsewhere on here is the 5th fastest time of the season. So the track can’t have been that bad. His issue is he can’t hack not only being beaten but beaten by a mile by two superb top class riders.
 

The other point is look at all the horrendous injuries that have occurred on the supposed super safe well prepared Polish tracks over the years.

The real issue is to be successful in the uk you need to have some real skill & throttle control.

Hasnt the Brummies future been in doubt for a while now,,, and if Worky move all the way up that's fantastic,,, another excellent track. The biggest issue is do these teams have big enough fan bases to absorb the extra costs,,

All confirmed at the Brummies forum meeting recently. 
80% chance of running next season and if so will be a Monday at PL level. No other teams interested in moving up.

20% chance of not running. Plus a maximum of 3 to 4 years at the venue. They are already looking at new sites.

They we’re looking to lease the whole stadium which would have seen both Birmingham and Wolves running but the price of a quarter of a million is too much!

Listening to the podcast they really seem to be relying on Wolves fans turning up at least 200.

Its clear Birmingham fans aren’t turning up in the numbers they need and going top flight is virtual suicide if Wolves fans don’t turn up.

The owner admitted putting way more money in this season to keep it afloat. Costs higher in the PL.

Think they have been hoodwinked to moving up.

Potential new team manager (Pete Adams maybe] might persuade some Wolves fans particularly if it has a Wolves team flavour.

Lambert will forget what he said come August next year when he comes waltzing back. He’s ridden Kings Lynn for years so to moan about Ipswich is a bit of a p*ss take. 
Regarding the league I’m sure the tv deal with have some bearing and read about Birmingham but with better attendance numbers at Oxford would they be tempted? Or stay where they are and keep Nicholls & co for another season?
