Shadders 4,135 Posted May 16, 2019 This has all the hallmarks of a promotion losing money and looking to quit. Had this with my team in 2018. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I agree with this statement? I think it's the promoters using common sense and not wasting money by putting on an expensive farce ? (No fans turning up due to a very weakened team) If they were thinking of quitting, then why make 2 (positive)team changes so early in the season? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted May 16, 2019 Thought about this issue quite a lot and it looks like this: Birmingham see they have very weak team. Realise numbers of supporters will be well down Deduces they will lose money Decides to find reason to pull the meeting Does so. Really, you can understand why they took the decision but not the way they went about it. However, not the first nor the last to do such a thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We then have to hear about unhappy so called supporters who want the management/promotion punished for an obvious business decision? We're already in a financially difficult situation with low attendances and rising costs etc....so why try and put another nail in the future of another speedway club??? Beggars belief! The decision to postpone the meeting didn't affect anyone........everybody had advanced notice? It's the so called vigilante supporters who will close another track down, not the 'common sense' of a benevolent promotional speedway operation! Call yourself speedway fans ??? maybe be just an envious Coventry supporter ??? Edited May 16, 2019 by GiveusaB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted May 16, 2019 This is OTT However, IF The Promotion had come out and told the truth, they would have a far more conciliatory hearing and understanding from supporters of Birmingham and other Clubs. This made up baloney is the issue, not the postponement itself. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they'd called it off for a so called 'weakened' team, then they'd have surely been fined or at the very least reprimanded ? (i.e official meetings/hearings, costing time/money) It's starting to get boring now ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are happy to call the truth boring then that's up to you. As a lifelong Brummie supporter and regular home and away I am not happy with being fobbed off, I prefer the truth, and I will make my feelings known to the Promotion in a polite but firm manner when I get the chance. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
