Surely ALL first couple of meetings are about track time first and foremost.... The KOC holds no esteem for me, hasn't done for years! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,732 Posted March 28, 2022 Don’t know why the Birmingham fans think they’ve got a play off team? It’s bang average in a competitive league, Shanes in main body with Vissing and a finished Auty as heat leaders, if Ellis rides like he has in the past in this league, you will be nowhere 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brum potentially have two very good reserves all season and Ellis could be a very good spearhead, so like most other sides there is reason for optimism. Other than perhaps Newcastle no team looks out of the running to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really...might be for the riders/manager...but I'll be just happy surviving and getting value for money (on track entertainment) I grew out of getting excited about winning trophies a long time ago. May be being a West Brom fan has added towards that ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted March 28, 2022 I think Saturday, tonight and Wednesday is all about track time because the key to a good season for Birmingham will be survival, a decent season at home and getting fans through the gate. Anything more will be a bonus 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I agree a club surviving is way more important. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
