How about getting the guys at speedway Tavern to do a special show on it next Tuesday and the following Tuesday after it? All the more interest generated the better?

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted November 11, 2021 I don't see anyone else making an effort....fair play to LR for giving up his time..... He might not be everyone's cup of tea for one reason or another, but he must have the respect of riders, or else he wouldn't still be involved? I don't know? I don't pay attention to rumours, or past stories.....It's the present and future that matters for B'ham now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted November 11, 2021 Discouraging statement today which says the door is open to Birmingham and Kent until the agm is held (although there will no longer be an official agm held). Either way late entry and late team building is going to create issues of both cost and quality. I fear another rocky season ahead for Brum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why dont you ask him?, at least he is making an effort i dont see anyone else trying at least not publically, my own thoughts are that this alleged rent increase may be the final nail, unless somone has spare cash to susidise the Speedway rather than giving it to HMRC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
