DICKSON: WE MUST MOVE FORWARD

BIRMINGHAM boss Stewart Dickson says he shares supporters’ frustrations – but insists he wants to use the positives from Wednesday’s home defeat to help the team move forward.

The Brummies were hamstrung throughout their 53-36 loss to Glasgow when No.1 racer Nick Morris was deemed unfit to race shortly before scheduled start time after failing to comply with the Alcohol and Doping test procedure, for which he has now been suspended pending an SCB Court hearing.

Dickson said: “Ultimately it wasn’t the result we wanted, but under the circumstances and when you consider the fact there’s still a fair bit to go yet with a top six finish and a play-off place a real possibility, it’s important we don’t dwell too much on certain events.

“We need to keep that positive mindset and do everything we can to get that feeling back that we all had after that home win against Berwick.

“I feel for the owners of this club and it goes without saying I really felt for the supporters who were dealt that body blow when the announcement was made about Nick.

“They were badly let down through no fault of their own and totally unforeseen circumstances, and it’s down to the rest of us now to pick up the pieces do all we can to give them something to cheer about between now and the end of the season.”
