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 

 

 

 

As of 01/06:

Adam Ellis 7.92

Tero Aarnio 6.83 ( his last average for Newcastle 2018)

James Shanes 5.06

Ashley Morris 4.98

Paco Castagna 4.00

Nathan Stoneman 2.00

7.21 left

If we can sign a solid heat leader we have a decent side.

I wish Zach all the very best, respect his decision and hope when he returns to speedway he can push on

I'd be happy to see any of those names mentioned above tbh. I've seen BWD twice this year at P/Boro and he's been sensational, Becker was the same at the SoN, I guess Laurence would know better how the land lies with him. Feel for Zach, he's a good rider who's achieved a lot in his young career and is obviously going through a tough patch. Hope he comes back stronger soon.

Knew what ? is he missing the next 3 home meetings? 

Knew he’d possibly be missing home meetings. He’d already agreed a deal to ride in Denmark so they get priority over Birmingham I’d assume your promoters would’ve knew this before signing him! And I’ve no idea if he will miss the next 3 home meetings that mainly depends if he gets picked for his danish team.

Could we be missing Ellis for the next few weeks ?

Grinsted have fixtures for next 3 Wednesdays

That'll have the creative thinkers mulling over how to deceive the paying public again, in another attempt to make them believe that "nothing's the matter". I wonder what they will come up with this time?

Well we've had the "run out of electricity" excuse, so can't use that one again...what else will they come up with?

  • A burst water main? It almost worked for Belle Vue, but you never know, learn some lessons from it and do it properly next time.
  • A bomb scare? Could be serious consequences if they get found out pulling off that hoax, so it's doubtful
  • Staff Shortages? What would happen if there wasn't a Clerk of the Course, or a Start Marshall because they got "held up in traffic" or something?
  • A Food Hygiene issue causing the whole stadium to be quarantined?
  • A localised suspected Smallpox outbreak again causing the whole stadium to be quarantined?
  • Suspected Rabies found in one of the greyhounds causing the whole stadium to be quarantined?

Take your pick, any of them will be as ridiculous as the next. Well, would you put it past them try it on again?

I am reliably informed Adam Ellis will NOT be riding in place of the injured Hans Anderson in Denmark as they are Different graded riders. Max Fricke is the A grade rider they have as replacement . I am pretty sure it is sorted so any Birmingham fixture will have priority over any Danish fixture for Adam .

Ellis not riding in Denmark on Wednesday if you look at last post on the Grinsted Facebook page 10 hours ago. Translated from Danish:

Quote

After a annoying night in outrup, where his andersen got a break on skulderklinger, we are now getting ready for Wednesday's match at Kjærgaard Speedway Arena in grindsted, where we are meeting esbjerg.The weather forecast looks promising, so come and see some good racing: we are ready with sausages on the grill 

Our team is:

Max Fricke
Thomas Jørgensen
Nicolai Bush
Kasper Andersen
Emil grøndal

Don't be surprised if you don't see Adam again, or certainly not for the full season.

As for the names mentioned, all very fine riders but on crowds we are getting I can't see us having the money to sign them.

You do not think Adam will ride again ? are you just guessing or serious ? seems a very odd thing to say unless you know something ?

I said that on the basis that I thought he would be in Denmark for the next 3 weeks.

If he was I don't think he would be at Brummies in 4 weeks time!
