There was a very good reason the vast majority had Brum bottom of the league in the predictions... And it wasnt the manager . The only way tactically he could make a difference is if Brum were the only team allowed to ride for double points using a black and white helmet colour.. In every heat.... A classic example, like Newcastle and Eastbourne, of a club with an NDL crowd level masquerading as a CL team.. Is it promoter ego that does such things? You are where you are in the pecking order, because of what level you actually are at... Zero point in being something you are not.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your one man moaning vendetta though against Mark Phillips is OTT I've not seen Nigel driving a tractor or preparing the track. Nor Dave and Peter Mason Not seen them rebuilding completely new Stands, put in new lighting, drag a struggling NDL team up to the CL and recruit the likes of Crump, Anderson, Palm Toft and others to try to make it work Perry Barr is in the middle of everywhere, Plymouth is on a never ending road to almost no where. Mark Phillips deserves great credit, not your constant moaning. Ok I’ll put it another way, the natives are getting restless I’m hearing more and more negative comments every week. And there are a lot more empty spaces in the stadium of course I want the club to succeed there my club . But this year more than any other is the first time I have been worried about its future maybe the financial climate we are in people part with there hard earned money want to be entertained and feel the only entertainment is being provided by the opposition. We have one of the strongest heat leader trios on paper and we go to Poole and concede nine (nine) 5-1s.now I no Poole are good but not that good.sorry for hijacking the Birmingham thread.

Hope they've managed to strengthen up, not expecting them to suddenly change into a winning team, but at least to reach 40 at home & 30 away would be an improvement!

uk_martin 1,606 Posted June 12, 2023 Now that Lawrence Rogers has stepped down, will all those on here, who wanted him replaced, do likewise from this forum if results don't instantly improve? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 12, 2023 I mean Stewart is a good TM but he doesn't have a magic wand. We had plenty terrible teams in his time at Glasgow that he didn't motivate them to be anything other than they were... Poor. And some of those included 2 top riders in parker and stancl! I'm sure he'll get nick going again as has worked with him since he was 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
