I'm very keen for Brummies to get through this though and thrive. I think a new venue though with better viewing and more control for Promotion though is vital and land is not cheap and planning permissions very hard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: I'm getting confused, Starke fits to replace Dan T, wouldn't for for Joe T! Edited July 4, 2023 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could see Boughen replace Hagon when he turns 16. Dickson got him to sign for Leicester so would make sense imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was really shocked at how poor smith was. He has really, really gone backwards big time. He had two stupid crashed which were embarrassing to witness. there’s no way I would give smith a team spot. Sad as he showed so much potential as s youngster. At Kent, he looked like a raw novice just starting out in the sport, his body language on the bike was dreadful and he looked devoid of any confidence. Absolutely not the answer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was only teasing mate....I totally agree about the venue/viewing etc.... Must be quite satisfying going to a meeting that has a good atmosphere (Oxford..)

Unfortunately he's not 16 till end of August! I wonder what points/ave are left after Starke signing ? Could Ashley Morris be returning, or may be Shanes ?

As for Brum the name ive heard thrown around will excite nobody (again) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted July 4, 2023 You have to give Nigel Tolley a lot of credit, I think he's realised that no matter what team he puts out or which manager he puts in charge, people in the local area just won't come out and support speedway sufficiently enough to make ends meet. But Tolley continues to persevere and do his very best against the odds. You have to take your hat off to him. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
