GiveusaB Posted May 19, 2025 Report Share Posted May 19, 2025 After all's said and done and now the dust has settled somewhat....on reflection....will MJJ be missed? I know what my answer is.... In reality, you wouldn't miss any of the current septet at B'ham ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted May 19, 2025 Report Share Posted May 19, 2025 8 hours ago, IainB said: They announced the signing on the 16th of January, hardly a last minute signing, it was an open secret that he was only here for 2 months, yet they signed him anyway... not the first time they've done this. Although it's sad to lose another track, I can't say the promotion will be missed. And if he was forced to ride and just trundled round at the back he would get slated so if a rider doesnt want to ride for you, the best option is to let them go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonalResponsibility Posted May 19, 2025 Report Share Posted May 19, 2025 It did get me thinking after my previous post about Grim Reaper Rogers...MJJ has ridden less than 50 meetings in the UK, and by the end of this season, all of his previous clubs will be defunct. I'm sure you could probably make this point with a lot of riders in the last 20 years, but it seems he and Rogers are a duo you'd want to swerve at all costs! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes - did I say that! I meant signing of the month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted May 19, 2025 Report Share Posted May 19, 2025 At the recent Ipswich v Birmingham match lots of rumours Birmingham had over spent and would not be financially able to last the season It’s well known Rew was asking for the same as Doyle and Birmingham must be paying him that or close to it ….

A suicidal business model Birmingham should have been allowed to ride in tier 2, on Mondays... A complete waste of time, money, and credibility for the league itself, allowing/making them ride in tier 1... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Stadia Posted May 19, 2025 Report Share Posted May 19, 2025 Speedway, over the years, has shot itself in the foot. We have had speedway track owners 'selling out', Pugh, Sandu and no doubt others! We have Eastbourne, owned by a speedway family, running bangers and stocks, but not speedway! Riders demanding stupid money/fees. Engine tuners bleeding the riders dry. Speedway is like cancer (terrible to use that analogy), it's killing itself! 😢 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, however at the moment I can’t possibly see how the top flight can carry on. Brum going we’re down to 6 possibly 5 if the rumours about Sheffield are true. Enjoy this year because I can’t see a league set up next year that allows for the likes of Emil to grace these shores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
