Brummie Kev Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 So with Ellis moving upto the Premier League and Adam Kirby taking a year out, who would Brummies fans like to see at Perry Barr next year. Zach Wajtknecht Tom Perry Sam Chapman Jack Smith Jack Parkinson Blackburn Zach has got to be first name on the team sheet for next year, Tom is a Cradley Asset but we dont know what is happening with the Heathens yet. Tom has been a great captain this year and is always box office to watch. I would give Chapman another go as I believe hes a rider that can still improve to become a solid heat leader, hes just been unlucky with injuries this year. Jack Smith has something to offer, he was scoring points regularly towards the end of the season. JPB may well be elsewhere but he has something about him imo and a nice riding style. It all depends on the points limit as to who the last two riders would be but another heat leader would be needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Could get greaves at a bargain if he's still 6:06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Aren't the Brummies promotion unsure at this stage which league they'll be operating in during 2016? I'm sure they'll be a fair bit of pressure on them to move up to the PL at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniev123 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Alex if you are suggesting that Nathan Greaves is on a 6.06, dream again my friend. He is on a GSA of 7.08 and could be at Cradley if we are at the tapes in 2016. But then what do I know!

Anyway doesn't matter to me he won't come to Eastbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUFC_Brummie Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think Sam is your archetypal second stringer, he's never going to set the world on fire but he's always good for 5 or 6 points pretty much wherever we ride, doesn't seem to venture too much either side of that, I think he's useful to have from that respect and I'd certainly keep him. Would agree with those 5, you'd suspect then you're going to need another 3 pointer (barring a huge rise in the points limit) and then the final rider depends on what the limit ends up being, if we're NL.

Ben91 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Expect to see Parkinson-Blackburn at Buxton, if the Brummies line up with him and Smith at reserve though then that's probably the best reserve pairing in the league for next season.

I'm sure they'll be a fair bit of pressure on them to move up to the PL at least. Graham Drury said in a radio interview last week he would be "very very surprised" if we went PL.

I overheard the father of one of our 1-7 say to the father of another one of our 1-7 on the terraces a couple of weeks ago that he'd be coming to Birmingham next season, but it may have been a case of Chinese whispers.

uk_martin Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 ... it may have been a case of Chinese whispers. Did you hang around long enough to catch the delivery of two portions of King Plawn Cully with Flied Lice and Plawn Clackers, that these two dads had ordered?

I have to say I find that a strange reason for Tony Mole to give, especially as all the 2015 teams are now confirmed starters next year. I'm also disappointed as Birmingham, Eastbourne, Kent, Stoke, and Mildenhall all have, in my opinion, a lot to offer the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back into the archives and you will find that this time last year Graham Drury was saying how much he was enjoying his retirement and had no plans on returning to speedway. Things change!

21st century heathen Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Chapman had a really nasty injury this season. I'd expect him to be able to average about 6 next season. To keep a strong top two and hoping for 38 point limit B'ham could look something like the following - though not to be taken literally. Wajtnecht - 9.51 Perry - 8.58 Andrews - 5.70 Chapman - 5.18 Smith - 3.00 Wilson - 3.00 Verge/Other - 3.00 = 37.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Birmingham have settled in to the NL and are making money .. keep it that way until confidence is such that they are ready to move to the PL . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years of making money and Tony Mole will sell the team on (again) as a viable concern...then it'll be up to the new owners (again) to see what they make of it.

gee jay Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Couldn't agree more. except kirkylane seems to be sending conflicting posts. on the belle vue site he's advocating the n.l. go back to more of a development league with only 2 senior riders and the rest 'newcomers' , and criticising teams buying the title. that would make you a nursery of talent for wolves would it not?
