Tsunami Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, DC2 said: How did he become an asset without riding enough matches to get an average? Just asking. You don't have to ride the stipulated 4H and 4A to make a rider an asset. If you sign a rider and bring him to this country to ride, he is your asset once the contract is signed. Similarly a junior rider riding second halfs can sign a contract to ride for the club without actually riding for them up to that point.

Is it compulsory for Brum to sign assets and how many must they sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, yes and two. And to answer DC2, Birmingham have signed a Dane, Tobias Thomsen, as an asset (probably because of this rule) without him riding for the team.

You have to have a certain value of riders, say £15k, or deposit the value with BSPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Surprise, surprise, James Shanes is the 7th signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguest Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Fairly solid team and lots of entertainers in this line up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Personally I can’t see a team of second strings with 2 foreign reserves plus a 3rd heat leader at number 1, bringing the fans back even if they’re in the league that they want! At least they finally signed some continuity in Zach & Shanes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Good to see a new side in the PL, it was never going to be a dominant team but this is awful. Who's going to win races away from home? Zach & Shanes the only ones with any great scope for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_art Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I love, absolutely love, that so many are writing us off. Are they right to do so? I have no idea, its gonna be an interesting season finding out. In 2012 we had a similar looking team. That team finished 3rd in the Elite league in 2013 We had a similar looking team. That team finished 1st in the Elite league. Both seasons we were written off in a similar way. Now I am not predicting the same for us this year. I leave the predicting to those with far more knowledge and bigger (crystal) balls than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Who gives a monkey's where we finish in the league ??? We're finally going to see some exciting speedway down at PB again! My only wish for the season is that 'financially' we remain viable! Well done Peter and David Mason, you've definitely surpassed my expectations from a supporter's point of view! Shanes as our last signing is great.....equally as good as Tom Bacon around PB and rides more lines imo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both recently Brum riders. . Oh, blimey! My big chance to get some respect by saying that what I was "hearing" was right and that "my sources were correct".

But why wouldn't the BSPA encourage clubs to come up from the NL by relaxing this rule and requiring no loan fees for the first two seasons to help financial viability? Can they not see this? It's a stupid rule anyway. The asset system is outdated, subjective and corrupt and there should be as free a market as possible with the sport on a knife edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ostergaard & Newman as a top 2. OUCH! Certainly a tough ask. Any combinations of Waj, Shanes, Morris & Newman looks good in the 2,3 & 4 positions BUT one of them is going to get stuck at number 5. I guess the benefit of higher averaged reserves is that its possible for any of them to drop down (providing Paco & Thomsen don't do worse) unless a healthy lead is built up before heat 12 i fear for this side.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I am trying to be positive about this team but i am really struggling the worst team in the League combined with the Worst manager in the whole of speedway possibly the history of British speedway does not bode well at all..
