But for signing in Poland i thought Aarnio would've started the season somewhere, but a Wednesday night track will suit just fine and i think Tero will do more than a decent job for Birmingham.

Don't forget, he was originally going to ride for Workington this season.

Quite right, something I had forgot, maybe I should've said but for Poland he would've been picked up some where after Workington folded. Either way I think Birmingham have made a good signing IMO.

One more big signing if they get rid of one of the 5ish point riders and bring in a 3rd heat leader makes the brummies a play off team for sure with Morris moving to reserve with stoneman 

May be David and Peter had a masterplan after all, or may be they just copped lucky that Ellis and Aarnio available at the right time on the right average.

My only concern in terms of club is that being out of Shield and KOC means if we don't make play-off's going to be a very short and challenging season at turnstiles?

Tero has been available all season after Workington closed.

Because of the stupid way the authorities run the sport!!

riders have a different average for team building than they do for green sheets which govern team structure and riding order etc then, they switch to rolling averages

Adam’s team building average was this years Premiership times  1.5

now, the ROLLING averages kick in which include his second division scores from last season, plus this years Brum scores, hence the drop

Because he came in on his converted PL average which was 9+. Now he is on a rolling average which uses last year's CL average which was 7+.

All credit to the management for making changes when its needed. Ive got to say I didnt expect them to be wielding the axe so soon and so much, I thought Graham Drury was back:D. Last season it felt like there were giving riders half a season before making a change. 2019 has been so different

Its the right decision, I thank Ulrich for what he has done but his scores have not been good enough. The two previous signings of Adam Ellis and Nathan Stoneman have been very positive so hopefully Tero Aarnio can have a similar or better impact.

Just over 6 f we do it now 

Just over 8 if we wait for the average increase on 1st July

how about Danyon how as a temporary signing whilst we sort it out. I’m assuming zach will get a 28 day ban for withholding his services 

if we do it now, Luke becker

if we do it 1st July, Bradley Wilson Deane 

 

id he happy with Danyon full time though
