We need James Wright to be fit to win this one, especially if he's taking one of Nielsen's rides! Really impressed with Bowtell's current form...hope I havent jinxed him! Good luck to J.T on his home debut, at least he's hungry and giving it his all! re

Not really....had no idea that they wasn't using a guest for Howarth....I'm sure had he been riding, he would've scored more than his replacement/s score of 3 ? i'm pleased that we've won, but let's not kid ourselves, luck was on our side for once. Lets see what tonight brings!? P.S Can't find yours or Pete CC's posts about predicting a win last night ???

Prediction if Wright doesn't comeback? Edinburgh will dump Paco and Paco will return to Brum !

For once ? Kindest Regards!

Great opportunity for Bowtell to leave a reminder.....

Look forward to seeing more of Zach Cook if possible, shame we ride on the same night!

We'll be lucky to keep it respectable !

One question...if James is 100% fit to ride on Wednesday, then I just wondered why he isn't fit to ride tonight? especially after his performance there a month ago?

The only way I can see B'ham speedway continuing/surviving, is if we amalgamated with Cov/Cradley and formed a Midlands Team!

I think the meetings these days are 'rushed' through....there's obviously good/not so good points about that? Not sure whether this affects our manager's inability to make beneficial tactical changes? (not enough time to 'consider' a change etc...) But my general opinion, is that there's little, or no atmosphere in between races! It needs a complete over-haul....announcers with charisma....etc etc etc.... From a personal perspective, I'm happy with 'rushed' through meetings simply because I'm only there for the 'racing'...but I can easily see why youngsters/new fans would be bored 'sh#tless'!

Thank you...but my question was...why couldn't we operate R/R for Wright? and the reason is: he hasn't ridden for us yet.

He's hit and miss at PB...waste of space if he doesn't gate! Has to be Harris all day long for me....may be 'Basso'?

Difficult to gauge atm, because the meetings that we've had, its been freezing, so a fair few have watched from indoors and its hard to see how many? But, what I have seen, is that there's been hardly anyone outside (200/300?) and only a handful of away supporters.

We're weaker than ever this season!

I think so far as a newbie attending ? what a speedway meeting seriously lacks...is presentation! With so few in attendance, the atmosphere is already dull compared to most sports! I always look at how the darts has changed with time and how successful that is now! (mind you, take away 'the alcohol' and I think darts would fall on its head!)

Unless Wright comes back 100% fit from the off.... then we're in trouble! I'm guessing that Edinburgh will use Harris as a guest ?

Yes...he must be...we're already a weak side...surely we can't risk being any weaker!

Why? Not sure what you mean by R/R is not available ? Is that because Wright hasn't taken part in any meetings?

I agree R/R will be the best option in the current circumstance, but we shouldn't have got in to this position in the first place! We could have signed another rider Kemp/Thompson (D) and given Wright more time to heal ? Just have to wait and see, but as Heathen 52 points out, if we get another drubbing, then it's going to hit attendance levels.

If Wright makes an appearance on Wednesday, but finds that he can't continue, does the Guest facility revert back to 100% average for the rest of season, or is the 28 day situation a rolling rule? Reading between the lines, I can't see Wright coming back strong and making an impact....

I haven't dreamt that one! But I think it's a great idea!

So I wasn't dreaming it after all

According to Rogers on the Brum forum, Wright will make a decision next week if he's returning ??? (he also said he was hopeful of Wright returning...) Are we going through smoke and mirrors again?

Made a great start though....he always was a fast trapper! But you're right, he looked uncomfortable...shame...wasted talent!

Looked like Newman got that on the line ?
