TTT 1,268 Posted November 22, 2023 Zmarzlik will be happy that he's not riding for Brum in the top flight this time around. He'd get annoyed at Sam very quickly for calling him Bartash Smashlik on a regular basis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understandable that they want more fans in, but you don't want to get the regular ones backs up in the process. If they dont significantly increase their crowds, there wont be any regulars to moan about it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the book and stubs are ok! Getting Wolves/Cradley fans in has got to be worth at least a look at for Brum I would say given the collective crowds Wolves and Cradely could attract at Monmore.. History suggests they cannot hope to have enough of their own fans, sadly, to maintain a Div 1 team.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, if there was enough interest? Might be worth a go ...Surely they can attract 1000 each week with the right team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The questions are 1. is there 1000+ interested fans within the Brum catchment area? 2. Would 'the right team' be affordable on 1000 fans a week? Its great saying we have doubled our attendance but if the cost of running the side has tripled Brum are no better off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petecc 352 Posted November 22, 2023 All this chatter about free buses, oh the traffic is bad, where do you park . I wonder if some actually want speedway in Birmingham or just to moan about it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, if there was enough interest? That's 2 full sized buses or coaches per 100 fans, and some say give them free admission too. Have you ever asked for a quote for coach and/or bus hire? That said, let's see what Parrys Coaches are made of and can offer And going back to the point about how the home fans would feel about it, well pretty aggrieved, I would suggest, if they are being asked to pay for the same buses to go to away meetings.

FishersGate 532 Posted November 22, 2023 Whats the point of getting wolves fans in for free? I thought the whole idea getting more fans in was to MAKE MORE MONEY. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
