Batch with a match winning ride for the Tigers at last.

That should've been made clear to the fans at the start of the season. Pretty poor imo

The comparison I keep making in my head is Plymouth in 2020/21. Seemed to be honest with the fans, had to scrape team together at last minute but kept the fans on side. Reaping benefit now

I can honestly say that the camerawork so far from Eurosport is the worst I've seen, missing what little action there is, don't know if it's down to where they are siting them, or whatever but it's painful to watch. It's just a bloody oval ffs, surely they can find a way to cover it properly.

Ellis was never going to do a full season at brum,he won't serve a ban as he is not withholding his services, he's been replaced.

Ellis isn't to blame by the way. He informed the promotion about how he could only do a certain amount of meeting like the ITK's said a few days ago. All down to Rodgers lying in a successful penny pinching attempt.

I know I like to have a bit of banter on here with fans of other clubs with a troll post or two but I'm honestly being serious here. I genuinely feel for any Brummies fan that has brought a season ticket thinking they were going to see a competitive side every week only for Rodgers to know full well Ellis was only in for the first few fixtures. You've been turned over at a time where the cost of living has become a joke to put it bluntly with the Ownership at Birmingham Speedway showing no remorse for the pre planned stunt they always intended to pull. On top of that you're being drip fed lie after lie to a point where it's like reading a statement written by Boris Johnson. Laurence Rodgers hang your head in shame and no doubt those who didn't purchase a season ticket will now walk away after the latest fiasco.

http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3158 Birmingham just don`t get it, when you make a team change you are meant to make your team stronger.

Oh Sam LOL

I would imagine all the Brummies management knew about this arrangement, so why is Rogers getting all the grief ?

Congratulations Newcastle, after those crazy guys at Birmingham decided to make a team change there`s every possibility you won`t finish bottom Happy Monday everybody.

Compost Corner was a feature on Tiswas . There was a bunch of us who followed the Witches home and away late 70s, early 80s - and many different names and nicknames were used for riders and teams. KL were called the Deadbeets (after the sugar beet factory behind the first/second bend was demolished). Those of us who watched speedway then saw the last heyday of the sport.

Honesty costs zero, the brum fans would have been annoyed at having a lesser team but would have been more accepting of the reasoning. The way it's been handled would boil my piss if I were a brum fan

Dave Rowe with Kelvin as the back up man every time

So why weren't the supporters told before the season began that AE was signed on as a short term contract?

Would Henry Atkins average fit as a cover for Ryan Kinsley

And fans have put a lot of hard earned money into season tickets and admissions etc only to find out they were duped into believing the British Champions was riding for them this season. Yes we all want speedway to continue at as many tracks as possible but also to be run honestly for honest fans

Oh dear, The Brummies continue to shoot themselves in the foot one PR disaster after another, I hope the consortium have deep pockets because they are certainly going to need long arms if they continue in this vein, that 1000 per meeting has today got further away..

Will people stop posting negative post on here about the Brummies we need positive post. The consortium have a put a lot of there hard earned money into Birmingham to keep us on track and have and still are working tirelessly to make it a success. We have had setback after setback to start this season but will keep battling on. They are coming up with some great initiatives to try to get people through the gates. We need positive post please

An absolute disgrace from the Brum promotion if they knew Ellis wasn’t doing a full season. Feel for people who bought season tickets after he had signed.

There you go,Adam has always been up front with the Club.Now you know who is keeping information from their fans.

BRUMMIES MOVE FOR ELLIS THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2022 BIRMINGHAM have pulled off the signing of reigning British Champion Adam Ellis. The 26-year-old, who won the National League with the club in 2015 and had a further spell at Perry Barr four years later has agreed to join the Brummies and completes their side for the coming season. The above is the statement release back in March when news of Ellis' signing was made. It clearly states "coming season" and nothing about being short term. Someone is being economical with the truth and you must wonder how many season tickets were purchased thing the current British Champion would be racing at Perry Barr every Wednesday? No wonder attendances are falling at numerous tracks

I believe he only signed a short term contract so adam has done nothing wrong.

Track is superb this season.

Jeez what a bummer having two 'international' meetings running on the same afternoon. Did Bomber Harris have to flip a coin to decide which one to ride in?

Greg Hancock is now long retired, so does anyone know why he still wearing that silly monster cap? Has anyone actually seen Greg's hair since about 1998?

Even though I am not a Rangers fan I hope the win the trophy.

In a nutshell if you have a changeable track you would like too think they would have the know how to do likewise with set up. if it’s not working don’t persist with it . anyway a week off from Speedway. Seville bound for a minor football match this week then im on to Tenerife on Friday. You heading over yourself ?.

Doyle did the witches no favours with his non existent team riding , Harris team rode with Ellis and hes not even a Sheffield rider

Good watch tonight I thought. As for Sam Ermolenko I'm actually a fan, Professionalism is overrated imo, Sam provides entertainment with his errors / mistakes and I'd rather have someone keeping the show entertaining off the track while the riders provide entertainment on the track.

Honesty wouldnt go amiss.

Ere's a positive......get a new management team/consortium. The current lot are killing ur club, not just for now but forever!!!! Whilst I admire anyone that takes over a club and invests their own time & money, why any sympathy if they then drive the club into the ground and also give speedway a bad name which ruins other speedway promoters businesses.

Right....like home fans full price and away fans half price ? Not to mention the bullsh#t signing of Ellis! I wont be attending whilst Rogers is leading the show!

Should be available for the playoffs. For Plymouth, though.

Totally agree. King's Lynn announced originally that NKI was only signed on a short term contract while Peter Kildeman was regaining fitness and although his stay has been extended I'm sure Stars' fan appreciated the honesty.

"The coming season" in this case refers to Easter. It does not mean the speedway season.

Really poor that it wasn't made clear at the time that Ellis was likely to only be a temporary signing, I feel sorry for anyone who bought a season ticket after it was announced. No club in the sport is really in a position where they can afford to lose fans with moves like this, even more so one like Birmingham who have clearly struggled in recent times. It's not difficult to understand that you have to be honest, this should have been in the original press release and I'm sure people would have understood.

Not to stick boot in but he was at reserve when got replaced and was struggling there... Until he got told was getting canned and nearly got a maximum ha

As long as there isn’t one after 7pm then it won’t be an issue. The track has excellent drainage, it hasn’t rained for days so track bone dry. I suspect they will be watering by start time.

Ahh the Jack Smith who thinks he's as good as Zmarzlik (in his own mind) but regularly finds himself without a Championship place.

Yeah you said that on the first page

That's the whole problem with British Speedway. We need one INDEPENDENT administrative body. Yes promoters, riders and dare I say fans could have representatives on committees but while promoters are calling the shots the sport is only going to dissolve slowly toll it disappears.

I think the problem is Tuesday when he is due to be riding for both Dackarna and Birmingham.

So great of Havvy to dedicate Poole's win at Redcar on Friday to Lee's memory. (ref. article in www.bournemouthecho.co.uk)

The BanditsTeam members have been given a picture of his race jacket ,just to remind them who he is riding for.

You sure it's his left?

Perhaps you should be in his corner at GP's instead of 3 times World Speedway Champion Jason Crump

It's the abbreviation of would have, say would've, no hard lol. Anyway good news the tracks in better nick for rest of the season

That’s all the riders seem to blame these days.Can’t they work it out after 1 race,and get on with it.After all the opposition have too.

Credit where it's due, I thought Tatum and Louis and Scotty were excellent last night. Kelvin in commentary, Chris in his analysis and comments and Scotty getting riders to open up and not just to inane questions. As good as it's ever been and that's not dissing Nigel at all but praising those now in the chairs.
