Oxford need to do some good business to avoid wooden spoon 

I hope you're correct, but I find it hard to believe.

West or East Midlands.

I expected Oxford to be headed up by Musielak, Tungate, Janowski.    But it's now sounding like Birmingham are going to get Musielak.

As others have said, Birmingham have also been talking to Thorssell and Zagar.  I'm led to believe Thorssell is very promising, although I'm sceptical about Zagar, even though I'm told they're still talking.

But Musielak and Thorssell would be a decent top two for Birmingham to build around, and all 3 would be amazing.

I'm now more wondering about Oxford.  If they have Tungate and Janowski, they need another head leader, and I don't see where that will come from if not Musielak.

Its already been discussed attendance was up last season in the Premiership.

From 500 to 505 ... unless they publish actual attendances, any such statements are irrelevant.

Is this the team?

 

1. Musielak

2. Rew or Z. Cook

3. Thorssell

4. S. Worrall

5. Zagar

6. Sedgmen or Kerr

7. Edwards (RS)

Seen worse guesses.  Been told half the side but can't reveal anything but it's better than I thought it would be

I’d agree, whenever I went this season attendance was noticeably increased.

 

Don't say that; the usual suspects will never beieve it!

Tolleys latest statement of B'ham about to be revealing a brand new No.1 , well and truly rules out the return of F.L !

Museliak and Thorsell as top 2....

I definitely think that Worrall will return....Kerr goes well round PB, would be a reasonable choice at reserve....

Need 2 strong second strings...hoping Douglas is one of them!

A new face to UK speedway heading to Brum I believe.

I'm not 100% sure on who has/hasn't signed yet but I've heard some of the names in the mix and I don't think I'd have Brum down for the wooden spoon if the signings come off. But obviously things can all change until you get ink on contracts.

Can't be a bad thing, a new face. Lets hope Brum put together a decent team.  Not good enough to trouble us though

Quite liked the swipe at Ipswich by Mr Tolley in the recent PR, about doing things by the book. 

I think Ipswich announced Brennan just after the AGM began, so they could claim the decision on the points limit was officially in place at the time.

But I suspect that their actions (and maybe those of the other clubs who ensured the 40 limit was enforced) may have riled Birmingham to the extent that Mr Tolley may now push the financial boat out to construct a team that will either soar, or crash and burn. In either case, they would disrupt the rest of the cosy cartel

And in which case, I hope it succeeds

Ipswich don’t have to “claim” anything. The points limit WAS in place prior to the AGM, confirmed by Phil Morris in the press release. 
 

Yet another hit piece on Ipswich that has no foundation whatsoever. Not surprising who has jumped all over your post with his backing either.

There seems to be an air of jealousy surrounding Ipswich's team ?

Are Ipswich becoming the new 'Poole' ? 

Fair play to any club that can build a team worth watching!

Part of the dislike for Poole is that they’re very successful. Happens in any sport when a team is so successful and dominant, they become disliked by fans of other clubs. That can hardly be labelled at Ipswich! The club haven’t won a league title for many many years. It’s all a bit strange to be honest but hey ho.

“We like to do things by the book” if that is a sly dig at Ipswich then he’s just made himself look more daft. As said above, Morris has confirmed the points limit was agreed a month ago during meetings leading up to the AGM. If Ipswich choose to then reveal their team before the conference then quite frankly, that’s none of Tolley’s business or anyone else’s come to that. Quit the jealous salty snide remarks and concentrate on building your own team that the Birmingham supporters can enjoy watching.

Just frustration on Tolleys part I reckon, all the smart money was on Brennan moving from ages go!
