Why not ?

So....back on topic? Connor Bailey-Theo Pijper- or Lee Complin to complete the side ??? Bailey/Pijper would be in the main body due to average, but Complin would start at reserve and push Bowtell upwards.....

Brandon (Coventry) was the most boring for me....slicker than a Michael Jackson dance routine. As for Leicester? the viewing is fabulous.....heard that the track had improved....we will see next season at a higher level. It would be interesting to see a 'Riders League Table' of best race tracks? Watching/riding are 2 different points of opinion....

I would agree with this . Last season, Terry did a terrific job of getting the track in a raceable condition. Personally, I think, B'ham's track has notoriously been one of the most fairest/most neutral in the country and that dates back to the 70's at the old PB ! We have minimal home advantage...IMO!

SW guested for B'ham a couple of times a few seasons ago and he was very approachable on each occasion .... from the few short chats I had with him, I found him to be a Top Man.

Just having Chris Harris in the side will make for exciting racing at Leicester....

I can't imagine/believe that the racing is better at Leicester ? But what is better, is the spectator viewing area/s!

Well....to be polite...I wouldn't want to live there...but I guess, it's more to do with the traffic, which becomes even more unbearable when Villa play at home. The area is run down and also, my journey involves going through a couple of other undesirable areas.

I think the 21 year gap that OGT pointed out, has had the biggest impact.... Also, the stadium isn't great for watching speedway (IMO) and the location is a nightmare at times..... I dread travelling to the area.

Quite right....Football/Cricket puts a dent in any possibility of new fans.... The only way I can see an increase in attendances, is if 'we' merged with Coventry/Cradley and were re-named to suit.... Signing Nick Morris will not put any 'new' bums on seats, or entice any stay away fans....that's not me whinging, or sounding ungrateful...it's a fact! I don't think the promotion have learnt much about Team management/ building during their first season.... LR needs to step down as TM....great guy....but ???

I think there has to be some truth in your post....tax off-set etc....

I think that will be difficult unless supporters become Buddhists overnight ! Whinging is an egoic mind state of modern society...very hard to control...no chance of ever stopping!!!

If the promotion/s don't want us to discuss finances etc....then may be they shouldn't keep telling us how much it costs to run a speedway club? They have decided to put their money in, so just get on with it! Sometimes a 'negative' post/comment from a supporter/fan, isn't aimed at putting the sport down, it's sometimes 'advice/criticism' to try and change things for the better/longevity of the sport? I guess that's the whole point of forums/discussion boards etc.....

Or may be he was thinking about his average for 2023 ?

I'll be surprised if the last 2 signings are not Complin and Bowtell. We will struggle away, but should hold our own at home. We wont finish bottom....looking at Berwick/Scunthorpe/Oxford

A massive IF with Adam in the team!

Good shout....but I heard that he didn't want to ride over here (last season...)

I don't mind Bowtell...it's Proctor that I wouldn't sign!

Dan Thomson has to be firm favourite to sign for Poole ?

3.9 using my calculator

NO NO NO!!! Not a fan of Proctor!

G.T been right so far.... I'm impressed!

Agreed for away meetings..... However, (at home...) Sedgemen will win if he gates....Wright goes well at PB...and if we sign Complin, I think he will win most reserve races. Nielsen can beat most opposite Heat Leaders (few exceptions...) We've still got 2 more signings to come....Bowtell is strong round PB.

Quite right ... either that, or I need to stay behind and get extra Maths tuition Thank you for enlightening me...I feel so much better knowing Complin will fit...big difference!

Jack Smith it is then ?
