FishersGate Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I don't know who Birmingham will pick. I think Brennan and Flint are good signings the fans will get behind. 1. 9.52? 2. Tom Brennan 5.86 3. Steve Worrall 6.43 4. Rory Schlien 5.89 5. Matej Zagar 7.2 6. Zach Cook 5.10 7. Leon Flint RS Probably no where near that side but what's avaliable Edited December 6, 2023 by FishersGate Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrall/Schlein/Zagar .... wouldnt be my preferred choices...but hey, we are obliged to feel grateful for at least continuing!? I'm surprised Kings Lynn didnt opt for Z.Cook over MPT!? P.s I have a sneaky feeling that Ben Barker could return to B'ham!? Edited December 6, 2023 by GiveusaB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that means signing a weaker reserve like jake Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Brummie fan, but my observation over the years has been give the fans a winning team and they will come and watch, but the opposite also applies in that they won't pay good money to watch the team get turned over week after week. The mistake Nigel may be making again is under estimating the role of a manager (Laurence is not the man) he should already have appointed a Team manager who could then have built his own Team, asking a manager to manage another persons team is not easy, yes we know it's not going to be Laurence as TM but Nigel should have made the appointment by now.

No, not in the area! But, if we assemble a competitive side and see some good racing, then I'm confident that a fair few that's been lost to the sport, may return on a regular basis. One would also like to think that a fair few 'neutrals' might consider attending.....(obviously, with a big hint towards Wolves/Cradley fans ..) I think the 'neutral' Cov fans lean towards Leicester....may be? I think we will average around 600/700 per meeting depending on the opposition?! Just my personal thoughts of-course!?

Col Posted December 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I would imagine a few Wolves fans will go to Perry Barr for their Speedway fix in 2024. You also have Leicester, Sheffield, Belle Vue in the same league.. which are also an awful lot closer than Oxford which was the Brummies local derby in 2023. More chance of a few visiting fans, but the key will be getting a decent race track & competitive team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe the club have signed riders before a team manager. ( tomorrow night 8.30). When announced I'm sure he will be in the loop .
