Max Clegg guests on Wed for Birmingham at no 1

From Brummies main site BIRMINGHAM boss Graham Drury says he'll stand by club No.1 Jack Parkinson-Blackburn every step of the way - with a potential ban looming. It comes after the 16-year-old informed his parent club Sheffield that he wished to take a temporary step back from Championship racing. It's been a tough introduction to life in the second tier for Parkinson-Blackburn who has scored just one point in his last two meetings for the Tigers. Parkinson-Blackburn is keen to re-build his confidence riding for the Brummies in the National League where he has scored 72 points from their five meetings so far. However, the sport's governing body may not allow that to happen. "There's talk that Jack could potentially face a 28 day racing ban for withholding his services for Sheffield - but realistically that's not entirely the case," Drury explained. "Jack has spoken to the promoters at Sheffield and has explained how much racing in the Championship is affecting him right now. "He had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction after their meeting against Edinburgh on Thursday, after failing to score from three rides, and told them later on the night that he wanted to take a break from racing. "By his own admission it's been a lot harder than he imagined - but finishing last isn't in the lad's nature and it's not doing his confidence and morale any good whatsoever. "It's also affecting him a lot financially as well. He's supported mainly by his grandparents and the outgoings at that level are very high indeed - especially when you're not getting much coming in due to a lack of points as well. "But after sleeping on it, Jack decided he didn't want a full break, because he lives for his speedway racing. Therefore, he asked if he could take a few weeks away from Championship racing with the view of going back there refreshed with his confidence rebuilt after what will hopefully be a positive few weeks with Birmingham. "He has been flying for us at this level and with a run of good meetings for us behind him, there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to go back to Sheffield with a totally different mindset when he felt ready for the challenge again. "He's 16 years of age, he's inexperienced and he needs as much help and support as he can possibly get. "Banning him while his confidence is already low would only do more harm than good and I hope the people with the power at the top take everything into account. "He is one bright prospect who is a fantastic, natural talent on a speedway bike. "It really would be a sorry state of affairs if a star of the future was banned for taking what I feel is a sensible step backwards and it could potentially have an impact on the long term future of his career. "While it is a massive leap, I do believe young, English riders should be encouraged to move up to the next level - but only if they are also fully supported if they decide that they need to take one step backwards to move four more forwards further down the line. "Throwing them in at the deep end and then punishing them if it doesn't work out isn't the way to go about things in my opinion at all so hopefully common sense will prevail. "I tried contacting the Sheffield promotion to discuss the situation once Jack had stated his intention to continue racing with us in the National League. I would like to think they'd be over the moon that he has had a change of heart from his initial decision and that they look forward to inviting him back into their team in the near future when his confidence has come flooding back."
