There is still a better option, than the recent names, out there.

If rumour I heard tonight is anywhere near true then that would be a huge curveball

In June he will be dropped for Cairns

Poole or Glasgow will have Cairns in June on a 2 who will end with a 5+. Whichever team gets him will win play offs. Only need to run 4 matches till then so the starting number 7 will be a throwaway. Makes sense therefore to use all other points on top six.

Masters wil be a Brummie in 2025

Oxford is Sunday 8th September

No Flint at Edinburgh on the 6th

IPO to win 48-42. Even with the guests they are still 4.5 points ave above Brum. Two of the best visiting riders guesting, will be tough for Brum to stop the run of defeats.

What’s the weather been like in Glasgow today, did it rain?

Sunday8th Sept ?

1st and 2nd at the under 21s were the reserves

Hard to agree with the feel sorry for Tolley bit. He signed the team, he has asked them to race against teams with a combined average advantage of over 7 points and today v Kings Lynn 3 points, and no surprise they lost by 3. The riders face every meeting at a -7 (belle vue was -10. Pawlicki should have gone when Freddie came, the guess who for the sack lasting 2 weeks was poor. Riders are beat before they arrive and the track prep is crap, but keep it consistently crap to give the team a chance. Trying something different each week makes it worse and helps the away team. Nigel needs to set a budget, step back and let Peter / Chris Adam’s pick, sign, and run the team next year and Nigel enjoy himself as owner and watcher. Drop Sam and Lawrence, no blame but not needed. A fresh start required

Charles Wright locked up and turned LEFT to try to go inside of Scott and ran into his back wheel. Scott did not fence Wright and if he wanted to could have carried on around Scott. I remember at Redcar last year when Charles shut off on bend 3 last lap and Steve Worrall was going for a gap that disappeared and Charles went down and Steve was excluded, exactly the same scenario but different decision .

The rules are clear, heat wins, 2nd, 3rds 4ths, none finish, head to head, f not clear, go standing. Correct decision, just why complicate things by dragging it out. There is no rule for how many head to heads, so at least one each means gp standing, sorted in 10 seconds. Clowns in charge and Kelvin is getting worse on comms.

Fred, Tom, Piotr and then Zach, so not heat leader

Ace might now turn up at Oxford instead of Roynan

The whole team are struggling because they are signed as 2nd string and reserves, paid for that role and then expected to step up and compete with higher class higher paid riders.The poles and the Czech failed miserably on over inflated averages and the confidence of the other 4 is shot to pieces when they turn up at Brum..It’s piss poor from the top and that filters down.The other week they were at home to Ipswich with a team average 8 points less than Ipswich and everyone was saying poor Ipswich for having injured riders, but they had guests which still left them 6 points stronger on average.

Still think Starke, Pearson and possibly Ace are too weak on a home and away basis. Rose tinted specs for those who see James at Glasgow but away he is poor and that threatens the bonus points. Top four gone now, how about bringing over Slater Lightcap with a view to next year.

Watching Scunthorpe match and got to say looks like a rubbishhole. Shocking track and piss poor preparation.

He pulled over to not get on the rostrum.

Interesting description of Adam’s new injury to enable IRR. If connected to Mondays crash then no IRR would have been available.

Wonder if the riding order change was Tom not wanting no5. He has 2nd highest average at both Birmingham and Poole but does not go at 5 for either.

Best home team v worse at present away team.

Birmingham with no Freddie put up a better fight at Sheffield than Belle Vue, not good travellers.

Ht 14 at Sheffield featuring bottom two scorers from each side. Not seen this before. Just seen that joint bottom scorer been replaced by 3rd bottom scorer.
