jimmy jimmy 298 Posted October 18, 2013 But it will be consistent throughout the season. However, points limits and cash might be an issue I suppose. Shame really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 18, 2013 True, But I highly doubt Birmingham & Coventry will be the only ones chasing his services, more so if more clubs join the EL. Ben will never be short of offers, where ever he has ridden he's been a fan favourite so any club would be mad not to consider him even with his reputation for being a bit of a twit.

Brummie Kev 519 Posted October 18, 2013 From this years team I can only see King and Covatti being retained. Rumours that Harris is going to Peterborough and Brum will struggle to agree deals with the other Bees assets. Barker and Auty maybe back at Brandon next year. Danny and Nico are the only two I think will be back from this years team. Nico needs to double up next year if the rules allow it as I dont think he rode in enough meetings this year. Four of this years side were Coventry owned riders and Mick Horton said after we went back on the Barker transfer that he wouldnt do any more business with Birmingham, so no Coventry assets at Brum next year. Doyle will be back at Swindon, would be very surprised if he wasnt back there. So could be all change on the team front and maybe behind the scenes given todays article in the Bham Mail talking about "internal strife" at the Brummies this year.

Moorski 51 Posted October 19, 2013 I think that King & Covatti are also the only two likely riders to remain,Would like Doyle to stay but realistically think he will be at Swindon,He has been brilliant and the best rider at Brum since Lyons imo. The Coventry assets is anyone's guess but Barker for me would be in the Brummies 1-7 but maybe he will go back to the Bees. Until the annual meeting decides the points rule and Sky show their hand it is all up in the air.I would hope that Phil Morris remains as Team Manager that is a must and first action hopefully by the owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted October 19, 2013 Doyle has been excellent for the Brummies but noted that with the financial losses Swindon look to be considering using as many assets as possible. Plus they have always said they wanted to get Doyle back in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P T Preece 262 Posted October 21, 2013 Start from stratch, 7 new riders, get our own number 1, not somebody esles cast off or one year wonder. Learn to gate on our own track and ride as a team, look for each other if Ward, holder or lindgren are 30 yards in front of you look round and see what your team mate is doing, you dont always have to win the race. Its a team event and sometimes a 3-3 will do. Start from stratch, 7 new riders, get our own number 1, not somebody esles cast off or one year wonder.

SGP 49 Posted October 23, 2013 WONDER if Drury will still be there with just one year left on his contract, or will he leave and work on his special little book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david2905 230 Posted October 23, 2013 WONDER if Drury will still be there with just one year left on his contract, or will he leave and work on his special little book. I can't imagine Alan Phillips will be too happy with some comments when he gets back and hears of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OGT 612 Posted October 24, 2013 I can exclusively reveal that the book will be called "When You're Smiling-My Life in Speedway by Graham Drury" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted October 24, 2013 WONDER if Drury will still be there with just one year left on his contract, or will he leave and work on his special little book. Also a question about the ownership of the club, given in todays local paper its says Chris Luty is awaiting developments at the BSPA. Whatever that means?
