allthegearbutnaeidea 1,712 Posted December 16, 2021 It’s as if you started team building after every other team had signed their riders… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 2,848 Posted December 16, 2021 I don't think any signings Birmingham make will make you say "wow, what a great team we'll have" but should make you say "at least we have speedway" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had Harris and Riss last season and fans didn't come. I know Coronavirus was still lingering but we need a massive increase in spectators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch958 2,387 Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) give away tix in return for email addresses and bombard them every week. Get some posters up. Make up some stories for the papers. Remember Reading putting bans on riders getting married. Do anything to get in the heads of potential customers BTW that goes for all tracks not just Birmingham Edited December 16, 2021 by ch958 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog 413 Posted December 16, 2021 At Coventry, it was suggested to Mick Horton that he gave away a couple of hundred free tickets to local schools, businesses etc to get them in and interested. Horton said he'd lose money because those people weren't paying. Couldn't get his head around the fact that those people weren't coming in the first place and all he would 'lose' was the cost of printing the tickets.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted December 16, 2021 Its difficult to comment without sounding negative but....even if team building could/did start at the same time as all other teams the budget at Brum is clearly tight as previously covered by rent and required attendances. I fully admire and respect the consortium for pushing ahead and i know a year away would have its negatives also but i can't help thinking a year to prepare and recruit might have yielded a team that people are willing to watch every week (in sufficient numbers). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
