Risky & expensive to rely on a top 3 who all are based abroad.

That team would be amazing for Birmingham. Shame it won't happen.

I'm sorry to be so nihilistic but I am struggling to forsee Birmingham being able to recruit a suitable team to compete in the 2025 league, especially if the limit is 40. And as long as Kings Lynn continue to be in the league, and clubs such Oxford and Leicester seek and recruit riders with averages above 8 (as has been strongly rumoured), Birmingham will just be in the same situation as they found themselves in earlier this year, when they had to fill the two primary rider positions with inferior duds. 

The impending loss of Brennan to Ipswich, if the 40 limit is ratified, will just deliver the final blow. Lowering the limit to 39 might just enable Birmingham to assemble a team in time for the start of the season, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be very pretty

It is a 40 limit.

At the start of the season I personally doubted Birmingham would run in 2025 with the Greyhound situation. Following the latest press release from Birmingham , I think that is it with speedway in the Midlands apart from Leicester. 

Cash flow issues >> Never a good look think that is goodnight from the Brummies. 

It isn’t.

It come as no surprise that Birmingham is likely to close. The crowds have been poor for a number of years and with the Perry Barr Greyhound news was always facing an uphill battle. 

It isn’t.

Back to championship it is then. Go out with a bang

It’s been mentioned many times. Monday night is the only night available for speedway at PB so not a chance.

Why do people keep trying to steer us to sign riders who are well past there sell by date.

We had that rubbish last season when we were promised a team that would get us into the play offs and look what happened there.

You don't expect any team management to build a team to the best that they can, at that moment in time, and then announce "here it is, we don't think we will be any good and won't be challenging for honours."

2. Z. Cook 5.57

3. Douglas 7.30

4. Brennan 6.52

5. Masters 7.32

6. Lampart 4.93

7. Edwards (RS)

39.86 / 39.78

No but wording it like "its no secret we were late to the party and behind on team building so some options to us were already closed, we have built what we feel is the best team available to us and have faith in the riders but it is a learning season for us all"

Instead it was a season of bluster and bullflop that nobody believed and even fewer sympathised with. Speedway fans are (mostly) a knowledgeable bunch so treat them like mushrooms at your peril.

Think that is pretty close to what the team will be infact.
