I didn’t see or hear any news that any of the Brummies positions were at threat? I think only you have mentioned that - do you know something we don’t? If not that is a stupid comment then isn’t it! Surely Vissing is under threat ? If he's not, then he should be....he's been p#ss poor this season! I thought Pearson would've been replaced too, but since read that B'ham have given him a season long deal.....'short-sighted' imo! Not sure why Auty hasnt been replaced ? There's 3 riders for you....hope that helps with your lack of speedway knowledge. Not sure why I'm responding to your post....you seem to have trouble accepting someone else's opinion if it's not a red n yellow glow!

I think the reality is that riders are only under threat when a suitable and available alternative is found. However poor or otherwise someone has been until there is something better, things remain the same I'm afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the bigger issue is there is not enough riders, the championship is almost the same level as the premiership which is wrong. Against Plymouth the other week was basically the Pederborough side. The riders you mentioned, in those days there were more riders available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t be bothered to respond to the rest of it. Just very happy you are not involved with Birmingham because it would be an absolute sh$t show.

What ? and it's not now? 350 average gate tells you the story...regardless of how hard 'everyone' is working behind the scenes....and NO, I don't claim that I could much better, before you start throwing your toys... However, there are one or two things I'd have done differently. Edited June 27, 2022 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
