The Dog 413 Posted March 3, 2022 I'd imagine that the BSPA would want assurances that Birmingham can field a full team because of the issues it would cause if they couldn't, especially with the Brummies being the first on the streaming service at Berwick. Also, I'm sure Birmingham wouldn't continue to do track work, pit upgrades and a new airfence if there was any doubt about coming to the tapes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you say is right....but it's the quality of the 7 riders...... that remains the question? If the 5th signing is an untried young Aussie on a 4.00 average, then that really doesn't hold much weight from where I'm sitting. Adam Ellis esq needs to be signed! It's obvious its not going to be AE.....there wouldn't be a hold up with paperwork etc ? Keeps us talking/guessing I suppose. P.s The track does look great though and I'm sure it will be great for the 'away' teams ! Edited March 3, 2022 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think last season proved that there are some very good Aussie 4 pointers around - if you have the right contacts to bring them over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But is McGuiness one of them? Last season he averaged 2.57 in Denmark (League 1). For comparison: Ben Basso 9.24 Tobias Thomsen 7.20 Jacob Bukhave 6.84 Mika Meijer (Neth) 3.80 Nick Agertoft 3.46 Maja Aamand 3.23 (one of the world's top 3 female riders) Henry van der Steen (Neth) 3.14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Can't help but wonder what the hit on season ticket sales has been resulting from the uncertainty about team composition and competitiveness. Was a time when season ticket sales took place in person at the stadium, but that stopped a few weeks ago. Has the well run dry?
