Birmingham Brummies 2020

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure it's down to Government not club decision. Poland are in full lockdown currently, I believe. No idea on infection rates in Germany, Poland, San Marino or Albania.

Just had a quick look at the declared teams.. Glasgow look strong. Eastbourne & Leicester look as good as Brummies. Think Newcastle could pull off a few surprises.

Any word from the BSPZzz about what "facilities" are available for riders missing meetings because of Covid-related travel restrictions / delays? Any advance on being stuck with a 3-point NL reserve? 

Poland have a squad system yet last year they were allowed to use guests from the lower league.

Anybody out there knocking our 'management'....take it back !

What a 'coup' ! (Riss)

Well done David/Peter/Laurence....

I think having Riss will also help VG....

As previously mentioned, by HG, if Morris starts the way he finished before he got injured, with Shanes/Paco, who can both mix it with anyone round PB, we will be hard to beat at home....

They'll be a few jealous Championship fans out there I'm sure....

Up the Brummies.....Give Us a 'B'!

Being at tapes in 2021 is no more fortunate for Brummies than any other team & I'm sure absolutely every other championship team will field a stronger line-up than Birmingham who have had my season ticket money for 16 months!

I'd really love the final rider to make the team competitive but I just can't see it happening.

Harris, Morris, Castagne & Shanes signings fine. Basis of a decent team, it's what you put around them. Thomas fine... If you sign two riders above Morris in the averages... Another second string, fine if you plan to have Harris as second heat leader... It could still happen, I just don't see it.

Sorry Col ! :rofl:

Is that actually an answer to the question that you quoted?

It's been going up lately as are their intentions to lockdown the country further. Not to mention that they are light years behind us with their vaccinations.

Travel within the EU is a different thing to travelling outside of the EU. Especially to/from countries with their own bespoke virus variants.

Dortmund let Bellingham leave Germany to play for England's World Cup qualifiers 

And here we face another of those anomalies. UK restrictions mean that people can cross borders for "work". HOWEVER, those same regulations also permit "ELITE Sportspeople" to travel too. Not just any old sportsperson, just the elite ones. (thus "work" and "sport" are counted as two different things) So yes, an international footballer will count as an elite sportsperson. But a 2nd division player (of any sport), coming over to do his stuff in front of only a few hundred fans? I don't think that the border authorities will count that as an "Elite" sportsperson. I may be wrong, but I won't be holding my breath.

You would think that 'Elite' should be worded as 'Professional'..... therefore enabling any sports person that travels to earn money would be un-restricted.

It's not difficult to keep track of their movements etc.....

Probably worded that way to specifically stop that sort of free movement of anyone playing sport otherwise Terry from the Dog and Duck darts team can claim an exemption to play in the Marbella Open - First prize £100.

Just banter Col.....

Anyway, I think we have a team that offers a lot of hope, potential and entertainment.... I for one couldn't be happier!
