I bet you're excited at that prospect .

Brilliant bit of detective work Steve apart from the fact you didn't highlight all the evidence.   Aries stated we needed changes no 2 ways about it, i stated that if the reserves don't improve they will be changed but its 4th May and no need to panic, so id say they were two completely different opinions, don't give up the day job inspector Cluedo.    As for everyone wanting the Aces to fail, have a look back at the play off threads last season, most were begging the Aces to knock out Sheffield then beat the Lions in the final.

I've seen cairns ride a couple of times and he is a very good prospect,great style on the bike and top notch equipment. Hopefully he doesn't go the way of boughen and lose his way probably to much expected from him without gaining enough experience. 

Well done Joe on being named as a reserve for the SGP2 qualifier at Glasgow on May 24……although how the heck Boughen gets a full ride goodness only knows. Downside is that Joe will probably have to miss the home meeting that night against Poole in the cup.

No from all we know Cairns is a massive step up from most if not all the current 2 pointers.

I have to admit it was a pretty embarrassing interview, he really appeared quite clueless, just listing a bunch on excuses. The riders are professional sportsmen, if the track doesn't suit them, then they need to make changes to their bikes, it's the same for both teams. I have massive respect for Tolley for running the club & certainly hope he doesn't bankrupt himself. But my sympathy for them is quickly fading, a lot of their issues are self inflicted with poor team decisions. Dropping Zach Cook last year was a poor choice. This year Kerr, Sedgmen & now Cook, all of whom are stronger than Vuolas & Hume, have all signed for Prem clubs did Birmingham try them first? Maybe we'll never know, but if they were asked when they didn't have a Prem team, I don't think they'd have turned the Brummies down. Now I like Hume & if a team only has 3.3 available, then he's an acceptable signing, but as Birmingham are so far under the limit, got to wonder could they not have signed someone stronger? Batchelor, Palovaara, Polis, Barker, Allen or Mountain for example?
