Alfies been riding PB since his early NDL days and scored well a few times. He seems a fair bit more professional these days; than when he used to turn up with his mates in the NDL. If he can get guidance on set up's and dial in he'll be OK at PB but agreed it's not as technical as Plymouth nor as freaky and trick track as Eastbourne. He's ridden tracks like Kent (CP + Iwade) and IOW very well at NDL level once dialled in so PB should be OK once he settles.

Fair play to Complin in that he stuck at it all last season and improved as race fitness returned. Unlike riders like Bridger and JP-B, in recent seasons, who came back talking a good race but who both vanished again pretty quickly. I think Lee has realised that to go to the next level; and towards a level he was previously at, he needs to shed some weight to help him get out of the starts better and strong rumours that he has done that. If he conitnues to regain fitness and sticks around, no reason why he cant get at least a 5 point average and aim higher looking at some of the other early reserve pairings and nothing breeds confidence like winning racing and enjoying racing.

Stronger in the fact we have a No 1 who should ride most weeks and not rely on Guests. Sedgeman arrived in UK late and hungry and it showed in his Racing. The only niggle with him is that at times in the past he's sat in a comfort zone. Maybe he has now matured and realised he has to give 100% all the time. Riders like Bowtell certainly ride with passion and hunger and possibly we haven't had that in the recent past. Much will depend on Neisen staying injury free and James Wright or Neilsen becoming a solid and relaible engine room.

Peaky Blinders and Happy Valley outstanding in my opinion. As for American football, having endured it on holiday... Any game that stops for adverts is a joke. I'd love to see them play either code of Rugby or Gaelic or Aussie Rules too full on for 80 mins without being able to stand watching for 80% of the game. Pansy game

what a sad lonely troll you must be.

Agreed too many do it.

That's bollix quite frankly. Since Danny boy publicly said he had plans a, b, c and a "dream team" No doubt Nathan asked or his dad asked, probably told he was in some permutations but not others and as an Asset did the respectful thing and waited. Would Danny Boy have authorised a move anyway until his own team was sorted? Nathan has been shafted by Poole and the Asset system and points reduction. The only inexperience he's shown is signing for a Club that spits out riders when it suits them

I think with us and Danish League its- One bitten twice shy Twice bitten bloody angry If Morris is thrice bitten... Paranoid and ready to bite batrubbish Danish heads off

Frankly if Nick Morris can't give full focus to Birmingham he should do one. I can't see Lawson and Worrall, Masters and Kerr etc letting their respective Wednesday teams down in this manner. IF he only rides in Denmark when not required for Brummies then fair enough, but it would leave a very sad taste in every Brummies fans mouth if we are going to be shafted by Danish commitments once again.

That is genuinely funny...

Kemps emotional and behavioural biorhytms are rubbishe every Wednesday! Laurence is very thorough Mind you they aint much better any other day, he needs to mature FAST I agree with others Bowtell is far better bet, you will always get 100% from Bowtell !

Sadly so many excellent local print journalists who supported speedway in their localities have vanished in the past decade and not been replaced. Many wrote for Speedway Star before the "Jack and Jill" corporate brigade arrived. Very few good local ones remain, we are lucky to have a chap called Richard Willford and Brian Dick who do what they can for Brummies and West Midland Sport. With the exception of Peter Oakes and Paul Burbidge in the Star very few proper writers remain.

Very strange time to announce for a Club so allegedly media and maximum exposure savvy. New Year's Day Bank Holiday tomorrow. PL matches today and EFL tomorrow that will dominate local Media for next 2 to 3 days. I'd expect your No 1 to have the gravitatas to expect better than that.

What a disrespectful piece of work you are.

Loved trips to Hackney. A proper race track

I think that by end of July your Tate will be a Pirate squeezed in at the time Roynon is ditched.

Ablitt was always the best 2 point option available and still is. Once signed by Poole there was no better 2 point option at any stage of 2022. Roynon will be dumped just as soon as a 4 point Aussie proves fitness and their overall team average will be manipulated to facilitate that scenarii It's a shame Roynon can't see that probability as he'd have been a key player at The Coliseum. It's a shame Ablitt has committed to Polish U24 on a Tuesday as he'd have been a far better option than Trigger who's nowhere near ready.

Spot on He didn't ride at reserve I don't think as it was Rowe and Atkins. Would have had some tough heats riding at 4. Showed real speed at some tracks including Somerset

Poor Arthur, he is a few crusts and a few slices short of a loaf.

A rider who showed real speed and promise on a few occasions a few years ago, could suit Brummies or Plymouth! Valentin Grobauer. Not sure what he's doing these days but worth a look maybe? I've a vague recollection he shacked up with Gary May when he rode for Somerset?

JP had very little 500cc experience and is definitely one for the future. Hell definitely need more core strength and its a shame he doesn't appear to qualify for NDL as that would have boosted his development. He seems emotionally mature though which will serve him well and his winter results have shown real progress in his own environment. If he and Brummies persevere no reason why he can't hit 4 plus in 23 and then improve again. Let's not forget he arrived as a 16 year old not in his early 20s like some he's been unfairly compared with.

I fear that you are right.

Huge hype and therefore expectation on a heat leader on a 6.09 average, and a brothers who's spell at reserve left him on 4.92, having struggled as a second string. Especially with a superb heat leader in Danny King missing. Can't see Cooks averaging more than 7 and 5 respectively. If Lawson or Worrall have anything like an off night someone will wollop Poole Will need Jack Thomas to stay injury free and claim 3rd heat leader spot,which he's very capable of doing.

Thanks for clarifying. He did have issues with popping at Brummies and after he left. Wasn't aware of Oxford issue
