Could narrow the scoreline somewhat, but need Barker and King to start turning up for all their rides to stand a chance, only Scornicki's thought winning might be a good idea thus far.

No one claiming that as far as I can see ?, but the point stands, even Poole would see a drop off in attendances if they were performing like this, fans in any sports are fickle, regardless of club.

How the feck do you "fluke" a win against that calibre of field ? if you win a GP it's because you deserve it. According to some, even looking at Darchole is worthy of a 28 day ban now it seems.

Fear a 60 plus defeat unless King, Barker and Kennett seriously up their game.

The track at Brandon is considerably more knackered in general than Perry Barr.

Despite being a Brummie fan, I can understand BV's view if there's any truth whatsoever in some of the allegations being made.

I highly doubt GD called this off because of a predicted poor crowd as to be frank, by mid April, after riding a few meetings and a few results come in, I expect crowds to be poor regardless of the weather, hope I'm wrong but looks to be going that way.

Cook would have been alright, though putting him in a side with Barker would have been "interesting".

You say that like missing out on Nicholls is a bad thing, yeah I know our line up doesn't look great but Scotty is hardly the man to improve it!.

Yeah right, as if you were going to turn up regardless, there can't be much left of that axe now considering how long it's been grinding...

I'd take the postponment currently as I fear we'd be in for a tonking otherwise.

Well if this is setting the tone for the season, Alan Phillips had best not have the bare faced cheek to complain when fans abandon watching this side assembled for £1.50, a highly uncompetitive side killing attendances will do just as much damage to the club as overspending. I hope this is an occasional away blip, but done nothing to appease worries the side looks quite poor.

No one better tell Rosco about the final, he;d be tearing his hair out if he knew just how hard Killer was pushing Lindgren, many riders aint brave enough to be skimming the fence in a league match

I must admit I'm getting annoyed with the amount of posts having a dig at things on the commercial side in particular, the previous guy has gone and aint coming back, live with it.

It is rather farcical that both the indentity of the rider and sponsor were well known in advance of the announcement, holding it at a Selco Warhouse..... hmmm..... B&Q possibly then ? Personally I'm not commenting as much because thus far, there hasn't been a terrible lot to say that's nice I'm afraid, OK some financial restraint was clearly needed, but I think we have gone too far in persuit of it, and produced what looks a totally underwhelming team on paper as a result, I only hope it performs better on shale than it looks on paper or we will be back to square one with poor crowds again, no promotions or offers in the world will get people in to watch a poor performing team.

Afraid the Brummies would be unable to help in such a situation and retain enough suitable rain off dates, if they could then Dudley would have remained part tennants than moving full time to Monmore.

Can't say they were not warned if not many turn up for what's effectively the Brummies 2013/14 side, presumably minus Doyle given his issues.

No big names bar Lindgren ?, individual meets struggle to get crowds regardless, let alone one with an average field.

I've have enough of the s***storm at the Brummies this winter now, can we leave both it and references to people who played their part in it in the past ?, those talking about the ex commercial manager are just inciting different emotions out of other posters on the matter where it's already passed, right or wrong, no amount of hot air on here will change that, other than get a heated debate.

Sounds logical, though how depressing is that to be fighting over bloody Nermark!!.

All the promotions in the world will be worthless unless the teams up to scratch at home, this is the most crucial part of getting people in and is the one that's lacking I fear, in the relentless quest for budgetary constraint, I fear we have gone from one extreme to the other and produced a team that looks woefully lacking. Hope I'm wrong, but I think seeing what we've had to played with and who we've signed as a result, with hindsight, Mr Phillips might have been better to accept Tony Mole's offer earlier in the winter, the impression I'm getting is the budget we're working to is impractically low for the EL, and as mentioned earlier the PL is not the answer either.

You shoulen't be at peace with that scenario as a team competing for the wooden spoon won't have people rushing to fill it's finances, neither sponsor nor supporter, seems like we are going from one extreme of last season to the other this year from where Im sat.

Was never on due to the doubling up rule, personally I think Kennett being in the side provides a problem here just as much as any doubt over his performance, him taking the 2nd doubling up berth blocks signing any improving younger riders effectively as nearly all ride in the PL.

Stupid question, the stats quite clearly say it's Woffy, Darcy may have the talent, but won't be champion until he grows up.

Have to say I wasn't aware of that, still no worse than Darcy's track record mind.
