lbw 869 Posted August 2, 2021 Hope Birmingham survive, I follow speedway all over the country and have visited Perry Barr on many occasions always staying over in the nearby hotel. I don't know wot marketing as been done but as the local student population been tapped into at all? I hope the walloping at Leicester hasn't disheartened the promotion & the supporters even more. It angered me when a few weeks back they were allowed a full house 18,000 for the cricket at Edgbaston yet just down the road at Birmingham speedway they cudn't open because of the restrictions Test event or not this demonstrated the madness of the rules around covid. Hope the Brummies survive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 383 Posted August 2, 2021 Just checking my email and i noticed this is in my inbox https://www.groupon.co.uk/merchant/frequently-asked-questions according to the Q&A you dont pay anything up front, only on a pay as you go basis or on results, so basically its a free hit PROMOTE is what speedway promoters rarely do so how about living up to the name, 50 or 100 extra fans could be the difference between make or break.

Hope the Brummies survive Students are on summer break . The club do have a link with the local university on their radio show and website . On admission students showing their student card can get in for £5 (ages 17-22). For the school children 12-16 it's £2 and under 11's are free . Naturally with covid restrictions the club have not been able to continue visits to schools or to shopping areas, fetes, scouts and guides etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummies23 37 Posted August 23, 2021 If true and Eastbourne are dropping out the league. I be dropping Morris and Shane’s and go get Tom Brennan and drew kemp. Or even Kyle Newman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that happens,I’m afraid you have not much chance of outbidding Glasgow for Brennan if they are interested.The transfer window ends soon so not sure you can bring in new riders.

Why does everyone think Glasgow are first in the queue for Tom Brennan if Eastbourne fold? As a fan I would love to have Tom in the team, but tbh I can't see us making changes with so little time left, I suspect we will go with guests to replace Ulle, although a couple of other riders could be doing with being replaced as they have been disappointing, Ulrich is a big miss, every year we have lost out due to injuries, 2019 it was Paul Starke, 2018 it was Craig Cook and this year it is Ulrich, I think we need a bit of good luck for a change. And I hope Birmingham survive as I enjoyed my trips down last couple of times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not IF there are to be Team Changes.Was there not hint that they were looking.Brennan would be unlikely this season given the Eastbourne situation needing be resolved very quickly for anything to happen on the front.All I’m saying is when Glasgow want someone it usually happens They do deserve a bit of luck given what they have put into the sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummies23 37 Posted August 29, 2021 If the masons want the play offs then they need to get rid of Shanes, Morris and grobauer. How many more chances do they need? Kemp free, Kennett free and even Newman are free. Sort it out now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we only have Thomas and maybe Harris next year if we carry on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted August 29, 2021 Birmingham have no chance of making the play-off's, regardless of any changes. Haven't checked averages in regards which Eagle could replace which Brummie. With a decent third heat leader instead of Grobauer this septet wouldn't be far off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
