#TwoTierMorris has to resign then considering he's playing favourites in regards to his former club Birmingham.

Pushing for the entire league to make sacrifices for 1 club makes his position untenable imo.

More a case of maintaining 7 clubs in the Prem I guess. Surely his brief is to make the Prem look more 'professional' for TV?!

He probably means that riders always know they’ll get paid on time. It’s not always the case. 

Yes. One of the advantages of having ex riders Louis & Lemon in control of things like that. They fully understand the frustrations of no/late payments.

Do you have any evidence of PM actually doing something along the lines you are insinuating or are you taking the opinion of others and trying to turn them into being factual?

Brennan not at brum so now it’s whether it’s rew or Doyle last rider but think we know

they making brennan stay at birmingham or they now mowered the points limit to help brum which is meaning teams are having to change there line ups last minute freeing up riders to race for brum

So they’re not making Brennan stay at Brum then Big Phil?

I wasn't angry or wound up lol.

I was just worried that King was potentially going to be a Heat Leader next season which would've been a disaster.

No problem with King as a 2nd string, But if he was at No.3 with no Brennan then Ipswich would've been 1 HL short in 2025.

Looks very likely now the final 2 are Doyle and Brennan, and to be honest, that is some side.

Dissappointing to see Keynan leave (If True), especially if it is to do with Money, but i suppose we won't ever know that.

On where Keynan goes, could be Birmingham although some have mentioned he might not do the UK this season, which would also be sad, especially after the season he had last year.

Belle Vue is touted but by all accounts Zack Cook replaces his brother Ben as the only change there, so don't know what to think.

Buit its the Annual P*** up this week, so i'm sure we will know a lot more by the end of the week.

Quite a lot on here who get slated for posting teams and being in the know as they say, have this silly season got a lot right, and yes it keeps the forum going, and i thank them for keeping the Boring months when Speedway is finished entertaining.

I just love this sport, and we need to keep the UK Flag flying.

Think yourselves lucky, having Doyle & Sayfutdinov - yet worrying about a third heat leader.

Birmingham fans could be facing a season with no heat leaders the way it's going!

I know it's not the job of Ipswich, Sheffield, Belle Vue etc. to ensure Birmingham have a strong team. But when (rather than if) we end up with a 6 team Premiership, they better not complain about lack or variety of  fixtures.

Announcment in the morning Brennan obviously after his Announcement earlier !!

Don’t think Ipswich would build 3 points below the limit..

I believe they tried!! Ultimately riders will go where they want to go.

Rew isn’t at Belle Vue. Unless his sudden availability has tempted them to now swap him for Zach Cook.

It’ll Be Jason Doyle surely. Leave the new man in the team until last.

Please don’t bracket Belle Vue with Ipswich & Sheffield on this matter, there is just no comparison, sadly.

Brennan did well for us last season, he carried the Team on many occasions until Lindgren arrived.

The way I look at it is this.

Brennan is the only realistic prospect of a British rider breaking in to SGP full time in next 3-4 years realistically on the horizon. Whether he is good enough is open to question but he has to optimise his chances of doing so.

Will he do that carrying a team at Birmingham knowing its 95% sure to close as the Stadium closes in a years time or being a third heat leader behind 2 experienced GP stars at Ipswich, where he could legitimatley stay for a number of years and step up the pecking order in time and learn from those around him, rather than carry them.

He will have a solid UK base, is building his profile in Poland and also gaining valuable experience in Sweden.

I'd actually argue that had he NOT gone to Ipswich, he'd have been better off riding CL at Poole than PL at Perry Barr in terms of his development in 2025.

Thanks for all your efforts Tom, onwards and upwards young man!.

Oh there is, 100%. Every club, Belle Vue included, build the best teams they can within the budget they have, without a seconds thought for anyone else.
