szkocjasid Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 Why did Edinburgh get a 28 day facility for Polis, yet a day later Birmingham get a 14 day facility for MJJ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps MJJ had only signed a short term contract until say 31 May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king junior Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 Like this hasn't been known since the start of the season. Polish media announced that MJJ wasn't doing a full season in Britain and now it's being made out its a last minute decision? Absolute load of s***. Embarrassing from all sides. And as always, the sport in this country is made to look even more amateur. I genuinely believed things were getting better and we were seeing a move in the right direction. But it's all the same old. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDeepStuff Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 Wonder if Mr Tolley will follow his pal Mr Mole to Sheffield and buy out the Bates’ who are seemingly wanting out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 I'd be surprised if Birmingham see out the season. Promotion take the Brummies fans for mugs with various lies and false hope. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 MJJ did say he wasn't closing the door on returning to Birmingham. He might be back in August once his schedule has calmed down a little bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted May 18, 2025 Report Share Posted May 18, 2025 2 hours ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: I despair 😞 It's all very "Mickey Mouse" isn't it? But, to be fair, that is pretty much Speedway's level in the UK, and has been for several decades.. Far too late now to change anything... They missed a huge trick when coming out of lockdown to reposition the sport with a fit for purpose operating model and even maybe a salary cap... Instead. They chose to carry on doing the same failing nonsense that clearly wasn't working given the dwindling crowds year on year.... It's just "tick, tock, tick tock" for UK Speedway, unless anyone grabs it by the "wotsits" and directs it "off the track" to deliver the following the "raw product on the track" deserves... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, I know how crap it is watching your team slowly die, but it's just one thing after the other. I'm sure Nigel Tolley means well, and he's probably put everything into the club (at his expense), but the whole thing has been a shambles. The writing probably should've been on the wall when Grim Reaper Rogers became involved, sadly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
