Not sure about pottinger? I don't know his pedigree... my compliment of the post was due to the fact that someone else acknowledged the need to replace the manager. LR sounds like a great guy, but he's not a championship manager imo!

Great Post!

The only way we/bham could improve on crowd numbers is: if we had a radical change of team name and became a collaborated/amalgamation of B'ham/Coventry/Cradley... (possibly Wolverhampton next season...) I can't see why that wouldn't work.... after all, what's in a name?

Good suggestions... probably would be cheaper too! I don't believe that the manager has the balls to do it though! Kemp and Joe are no brainers right now!

Just about to say the same thing....but I don't think it will improve us by much.... Lose both reserves and bring in Kemp!

I think it will need at least 3 changes.

All valid points....each individual will most likely relate to a few of these points. For me...it's the team....the location isn't great as its a 25 mile round trip....the viewing areas are sh#te....what's causing concern atm is the 'slick track'....yawn yawn racing!!

£20 is a fair price for a night out IMO, but I'm aware that its not the same for everyone. Having a poor side doesn't help!.... Having a slick track with no passing doesn't help... I can't see where things are going to improve. Blind faith/loyalty is what we're going to survive on.

A new manager would be the best signing ! Rogers just hasn't got it and we won't last the season with him in charge of team affairs.

I think/hope that we can push Scunthorpe close and might just edge it . We can't use the excuse of not being race ready anymore! If we can't beat Scunthorpe at home, then it's going to be a very long season! (no disrespect to Scunthorpe, but there are stronger sides in the League...)

Bad news for us then

They'll be plenty of chances for that tonight....

Looks like Complin has had enough of spending time with his new born ?

It's most likely the only way that we have a chance of winning!

Class! Looks a great race track!

Do us a favour... lol This is the worse bham team that I can remember and ive been going for 52 years!

Been saying this for months!

No grip for Hume...he tried to work every inch of the track...just nothing there!

Summed up quite well ....although Cook was ruthless in passing King in Heat 9 ? Ref dropped a couple of clangers IMO....I don't think Morris moved in Heat 7 (start) and I don't understand why he re-started Heat 13 when Lawson clearly penalised himself by moving....these things happen I guess. We 'Bham' have one of the weakest sides in the clubs history...'who actually assembled this team I wonder'!? Bowtell/Proctor first to go IMO! Zach Cook was the only highlight last night! Great choice of guest... give the manager credit for that....shame the other choice of guest couldn't contribute to the team's tally! (not criticising young Joe here...he tried his best). Track was slick as....which produced boring/processional racing!

It didn't take long for Proctor to go missing!

Proctor ruled out tonight...Joe Thompson guesting! I'd have thought Adam Roynon or Lee Complin ??

My concern from LR's statement is that he claims that 3 current riders missed a chunk of last season and need time to get dialled in etc... Why sign half a side that are not going to produce in the first place?

35-55 tonight! P.s I would've opted for Paul Starke as a guest!

May be the O.P should have just named 'Wolves' ? Can't remember what the weather was like, but if it was the right call, then I can't see the necessity for any complaints?

12 races won from gate 2/4 last week .... that's quite a high percentage! Irony is...we won the toss, chose gates 2-4, but the opposition get to use those gates 8 times, as they get choice in Heat 15! No benefit from winning the toss!
