GiveusaB 1,133 Posted December 14, 2018 good luck to tom at Redcar, hope he makes a full recovery from his back injury!? I surely wonder why we didnt retain him? Not too fussed about missing out on the enigmatic Barker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSL84 541 Posted December 14, 2018 Maybe because he did not know which way brum where going N.L or championship. And when the limit was set low teams had to act quick and sign the team...... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can’t persuade Adam Ellis, it’s the likes of Klindt with Ostergarard as number 1! Looks like bad team building? Shame.

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 15, 2018 This side to me looks like one that is destined to fail and looking at the signing's at other club's how harshly has Danyon Hume been treated.A dreadful decision riders like Bowtell,Wood,Kingsley,Smith,Clegg, Chessell, (etc) get spots Danyon gets shafted.He showed at Ipswich he can be a champs rider and now the league looks even weaker so disappointed riders like Danyon should be fixed up first. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted December 15, 2018 Dont worry Sid Im sure Danyon will get fixed up soon As you say he should be perfect for this revised league structure and do very well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither of their first names is "Sheikh" and they don't dabble with Russian Oil Company stocks and shares. The Brummies are in a better league, on a limited budget, in just the promoters' second season in business, with commitments to aquire assets as is required by the league, having had the original assets stripped away from the club without compensation. All that means a huge outlay of cash. Not that those people who moan about admission prices care about that. Money grows on trees in their little bubbles. Finishing the season will be a success. Entertaining racing will be a success. More people on the terraces in September than in March will be a success. All you fans from other teams, don't worry, the Brummies won't be troubling the league leaders this year. But considering where the Brummies were 3 or 4 years ago, it's already a success to be where they are now. Let's be grateful that a foundation is being built and that in future years, the rewards will come. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A competitive team is usually a prerequisite of “more people on the terraces in September than in March”. Are they required to acquire assets? How many must they sign before they can take part in the league? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted December 15, 2018 Despite my 'robust' comments re the Danyon position I certainly do hope Birmingham is a success 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in other news, Ben Barker, on his Facebook page says that he's looking forward to being able to announce on Monday, who he'll be riding for in the Championship. Now join up some dots... In his interview on the Bears Facebook page Ben admitted to putting some false information out to keep people guessing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
