There is hope of better than bottom for Brum. Nothing between the bottom four let's be fair. Thomsen & Castagna should focus on beating an opponent first.

RebelDan 203 Posted December 21, 2018 It’s a v poor looking team IMO. It was already a brave move stepping up, I assume the business plan only works with increased attendances as costs will be much higher. The future viability of the club is at stake as after a while attendances will tumble if they start to lose at home consistently- nobody wants to watch a losing team every week- only the die hard fans will turn up in time. I really hope for the brummies sake they surprise everyone and click. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with Birmingham's die hards is that at their age, they are dying out. It needs the Championship to get any chance of replacing the old fans with new. Rocks and hard places and all that.

How on earth does an experienced Speedway rider think that team will be competitive ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who don't go to the Brummies keep repeating this mantra, but it's not actually true. Have you been there this year? The promotion made a great effort to attract new and young fans, generally successfully. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
