The Dog

Bang on post. Will be able to repeat in 2035..

Whilst I appreciate that not every rider commands these sort of earnings, is it only me that thinks riders are vastly overpaid at a time when the fans are on the wane? I mean, how sustainable is nearly 2k for a heat win?

He wouldn't be my choice either but I think from Birminghams point of view he would be good signing

I think Schlein would tick a lot of boxes for Brum, knows the riders and promotion well, good out of the gate and Birmingham is a smallish track and he knows how to defend a line, a name everyone is familiar with and wouldn't be breaking the bank. On a good average for Brum too

Last time I saw Schlein at PB, he was whinging about the amount of water they'd put down before the meeting. Mind you, he did the track walk in flip flops...

Given the amount of money that Tolley has been happy to burn, affording the riders won't be a concern, it's convincing a top rider that Birmingham is a place to be to be competitive in every meeting and in with a shout of a title

Apart from commentary, has Sam been involved in speedway to the extent that he would be a good choice for a manager? If his last job was nearly 20yrs years ago at Reading, it seems a really odd choice to me

Ermolenko is just a 'name' signing, same as Rooney at Birmingham City

Has KK been mentioned yet....?? Maybe

Be jobs for the boys

No point in having the top riders if you can't park anywhere or see the track when you get there

Same gear as Danny Bird at a guess..

Basically a Championship League but with BV. Should get the crowds flocking back.

Correct

Genius. Doff my cap to this sort of wit
