Trawl back through the 82 pages worth of posts and if more than half of them bear any more than a passing resemblance to a relevance to Birmingham, I'd be amazed. 10 hours ago, Tsunami said: The first time I heard of Dan was when he was announced he would be riding on his own in our second half, and someone said "he's worth watching". He hadn't rode for anyone at that stage and looked very raw on our tight bends. I particularly noticed he rode too close to the inside of 1st and 3rd bends, clipping the kerb practically every time. In his later rides he moved out, as you should, so he came out of those bends with a better line that he could maintain, before coming out of the 2nd and 4th corners wide like everyone else does. I obviously watched his progress after that as he was being treat very well with lots of second half track time. See what I mean? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be argued that its relevant due to the unearthing of new talent and offering opportunities to them who might potentially fill team places in the future. I remember the Brummie buzz about the Thompson twins a few years ago and how they were going to be stars wearing the big red B in the near future (every other man and his dog knew they were Leicester bound but...) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could even argue that Russia's war in Ukraine is in "self defence". Fill yer boots. Argue what you like. At the end of the day, who cares? If Birmingham only has 4/7 riders in a team, you could even argue that there's nothing wrong with having only 4/7 posts relevant to the Brummies team themselves. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why on earth would you use that as an example. And to be so flippant as to say who cares. Amend your post 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amend your post On one hand some say "stick to posts about Birmingham" On the other hand you get people from north south east and west telling us from Birmingham what we can and can't say on here. Well tough. If you don't like it, click away. Nobody's forcing you to be here. If you don't like the analogy of people arguing crap, feel free to disagree. If you want to call me names, well sticks & stones. Nobody cares. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the amount of non PR happening from us people from Birmingham id say its a blessing that this thread has any interest and isn't confined to page two like it will be for mostbof the season. I chose to be here, i chose who i want to engage with and read content from and i don't deem your input as worth bothering about so please join the elite club of idiots. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted March 1, 2022 Personally, I like to read anything 'speedway related' regardless of who's thread it is....just my opinion. If it's any consolation, I enjoy reading S4S and Uk Martins threads...both are usually interesting and 'balanced' views. Not sure why you guys are falling out.... Kiss and make up and lets get back to discussing anything speedway ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
