Wait until it is gone - and then you'll reconsider that statement I'm sure. I watched Wimbledon from 1969 onwards, and very rarely did they have a chance of winning anything - but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning isn't the issue for me....B'ham haven't won anything of note since 1974.....its all about value for money and enjoying the entertainment at hand.....I'm not saying that its just B'ham's product.....I watched KL v Oxford the other night and that was a yawn fest too......so really, it's speedway in the UK as a product...may be its my age!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly where you're coming from😉Since Jason Lyons retired(his words to me were "it's time to get out of British Speedway"),Tony Mole retired and sold to the next owner who didn't have the funds to take it forward and so on and so on and folk have just kind of given up🙄There are people I used to go all over the UK with watching the Brummies have just drifted away and just are sitting at home saying WTF(I am for sure).There has been a total lack of ambition by certain folk(apparently the Brummies would be completely knackered without him)who just want to be part of the speedway set up in the UK and have no aspirations in acheiving any kind of success going forward and are just happy with an existence/complete failure(surely try to attract lapsed speedway followers from the Midlands who have no team to follow anymore through no fault of their own).There are quite a few hardcore followers(as you well know)who'll put up with any crap so long as the team exist🙄I'd like to know the answers as I,along with many other folk(famous speedway teams in the Midlands who no longer exist)wonder where this is going to end up?Are there any administrators/involvement from the Brum set up trying to attract new followers,sponsors,businesses to come along and have a look at what goes on every couple of weeks at Perry Barr,or have they just given up too and accepted all is over at the end of this season? My apologies for being the Grim Reaper but it's no fun anymore being a speedway follower/lapsed at Brum when you know that nothing anytime soon is going to change.🙄 Edited May 1 by bluejam 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
