But some wouldn't shell out for a season ticket if the team looked weak would they? I'd have thought best way to generate interest is to reveal your side and whet people's appetite and removing the doubt.

Who instead though? He's the weakest of the seven but also his signing makes sense.

So I gather, I've not been for a few years but on my many visits the racing was always very good, hopefully they can sort out the prep for 2024.

With Kubera now in the GP series I think there are two hopes of getting him to ride over here and one of those died twenty years ago. On the subject of the track, if prepared properly Brum is in a completely different league to Wolves IMHO.

Yep, have been for weeks.

I mean it's a fair question, and only time will tell. Personally I think he's still improving and is so good round Poole that I think he'll be fine, but he'll find life hard in a few heat 13s & 15s away from home I suspect.

He was willing last year, but was being controlled by Wroclaw. Either way it wouldn't be much good to Brum unless he wasn't being told when to turn up or not and was 100% committed.

I think they look better than Leicester, Lynn and the rumoured Brum, but behind Ipswich, Sheffield and BV.

The 28 match ultimate pass looks like good value too at sixteen quid a meeting.

It must have been a draw surely? No other way it should be done.

Interesting that Lambert was in the plans until they got 'let down by a couple of riders'.

Yeah it looks pretty good. For me Ippo, Sheff, BV & Oxford look like a clear top four but margins are fine in speedway and you never know.

Yep I hear you too. A marquee signing possibly would but is that realistic?

I don't think it's that bad, couple of what should be good reserves and we know all Worrall and Brennan. The question marks would be over the three Poles.

Yep fair enough but that an awful lot of rumours for a team signing riders from scratch including three Poles who haven't been here for years or at all.

That's an awful lot of rumours though for a club signing riders from scratch.

So if you amalgamate all the rumours on here it could be a side that looks something like Pawlicki Pawlicki Lampart Worrall Brennan Cook Flint

I think you've gone a little early with this, it's impossible to put Brum anywhere until they name more riders.

So presumably Fricke, Masters, Douglas, Becker, Lawson, Kemp and J Thompson?

It was all to do with the Wagstaff/Brian Griffin idea that they hatched at Lynn in 2000, when as well as the matching Wolfsport two piece race suits all the bikes had matching silver covers. Griffin then disappeared during the 2001 season from memory and Waggy struggled on to the end of 2002 before moving the whole operation to Cowley, mainly to do with the corporate hospitality opportunities at a greyhound stadium IIRC. The silver machine nickname and bike covers went with him, was obviously an image he liked.

More to come from Jenkins and Atkins I reckon. Agree about Killeen but the potential is there. Boughen could well end up challenging for a heat leader position.

Ipswich look like the team to beat to me.

Packed with potential. I'd perhaps have go e for Rowe rather than Heeps but as had been said the loyalty is a good thing and perhaps they've gone for his extra experience.

If MPT avoids injury he 100% WILL increase his average. Massive if though.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm not sure I'd even be able to tell you who their parent clubs are. I don't think anyone is having a moan about it, just pointing out that efforts were made to use up all points available.
