Be great to see Tom back at PB!

Jason getting a lot of unfair stick imo…..we love him at Brum and if there's a rider out there that tries to win every race, regardless of the importance/result, then it's definitely him! Which is a lot more than can be said of some speedway riders, who just go through the motions, or protect an average etc...…. Give me a team of 'Garritys' any day!

I think B'ham need a 'skilled' track curator since 'Terry' has left ? may be you could open discussions with them? ( genuine suggestion...)

Well done to Leicester they look a solid side! Scott Nicholls is still one of the best English riders in the country imo..... Obviously Leicester were far superior than us, but you definitely could see that they had something to race for, whereas we were just going through the motions! Ellis was crap! Jason had bike troubles but still produced the most exciting passes of the night (along with Nicholls's move on Ellis) Paco needs to try the outside and stop being too fair (as previously mentioned) Arnio had his best meeting so far...great when he gates but crap when he doesn't!! Agertoft is improving....did well to win Heat 2 (bike troubles after that by looks of it?) Coles did well to keep up with their reserves considering his lack of meetings. He has potential. As for the manager? sorry, but CLUELESS yet again imo.....I'm too frustrated to go in to it? but the Tac Sub was used at the wrong time in the wrong heat! Not that it would've made much difference at any other time of the evening! The track appeared a lot smoother but still something not quite right.....you certainly can't tell that we've had some new shale put on it?

The manager will hopefully swap the reserves around tonight in certain races, so that Agertoft competes against a Leicester reserve in ALL of his rides!? Coles will have no chance of beating either Leicester reserve, so stick him in all the hard races with nothing to lose!

JOKE! averages averages averages........!!!

If I was coming from Leicester, I wouldn't touch the M6 between Juncts 5 - 7! It can be a nightmare. I'd get off at Junction 5 and take the Tyburn Rd to Witton....head for Witton Cemetery and your 5 mins away from there! Park on Holford Drive (free) practically opposite the stadium. That's my opinion/advice!

Our reserves will need to step up their game tonight....Lawlor and Mountain ride PB extremely well!

Agertoft at reserve and R/R for James : ( (hope he recovers without any long term effects)

I think we'd of given Leicester a run for their money if James was riding.....but not sure now? I guess it will depend on 'their' choice of guest?

I'm very surprised that it's not been called OFF yet ?

I would hold fire if I was you? The rain is quite heavy and persistent atm and it's forecast for most of the day.... Hopefully the club will do an early call off, for any travelling fans?

I have a feeling that the management have looked at the forecast and feel it's doomed for tonight's meeting?

Any team news ? There's nothing on B'ham's main website ....

Unattached NL rider should be their only option to replace a banned rider ? To think that a 'punishment' makes a team stronger really is the most laughable sports product going!

I respect your thoughts/opinions Brian, as I always do.....but that's what make people 'good' managers (imo)…... tactically, I'd have probably brought Shanes in at Heat 9 and that's because I'd have backed him over Nielsen ? But you can't not make a change because u hope to go 6 points down ....I know we all think differently......my posts are just my opinions. Being a manager cant be easy ....you have to study the opposition and gate positions ALL through the meeting etc......may be it's a 2 man job ? My initial post wouldn't have been made had the text updates been correct!? P.s may I add ...I respect Laurence and he's far more knowledgeable than me....I'm just saying what 'I' think.....I don't expect or suggest anyone agrees with me ? : )

So was the manager wrong to make the change Brian ?

Apologies to our manager 'Speedway fan'.....but you can see why I made the comment ?

So I was RIGHT then ??? !!!

Read below ??? I was right!!!

I can only think that Agertoft must pay to ride because he's NEVER replaced???

I'll wait for the excuses as usual ???

Very frustrating to say the least! It's every week and it's really annoying!

Why didn't Shanes replace Agertoft in Heat 11??????? Diabolical management tactics again......cost us our first away win !!! Make our next signing someone who can tactically manage, or at least get Rogers some help!?

LOL......that's part/parcel of being a speedway rider isn't it?
