GiveusaB Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I hear what you're saying. He's still young and maturity hits different riders at different ages!? I hope he stays injury free, because he's a revelation so far as entertainment goes at PB! The last rider I saw ride a bike like Jason was the 'brilliant/breath taking' Kelly Moran !?

Col Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Those 2 points away at Scunthorpe should see the Brummies avoid the 2019 Championship Wooden Spoon. If they can keep the current septet fit one would think only Leicester should trouble them in the remaining home fixtures and a chance of away points still at Newcastle, Berwick & Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can keep the current septet fit one would think only Leicester should trouble them in the remaining home fixtures and a chance of away points still at Newcastle, Berwick & Edinburgh. very much agree we finally have top end grunt and lower end power and whilst the Danish kid has not delivered great points yet he shows potential. if we can avoid bottom (wooden spoon) no reason why we can't finish closer to middle than top and we should have Newcastle, Berwick, Edinburgh and Eastbourne in our sights as not out of the question we can't finish 6th or 7th and that would be a great achievement. Just a shame we started so poorly and had no chance in KOC or Shield before we even started season in reality. Lot of credit to David and Peter Mason and Laurence for persevering and hopefully will encourage them to try again in 2020. Crowds are building as is atmosphere and place feels good again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Bad news today concerning James Shanes, and hopefully he'll make a full and speedy recovery. Will Brummies bring in a replacement for him, and who is it likely to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agertoft at reserve and R/R for James : ( (hope he recovers without any long term effects) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1075 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 With James Shanes unfortunately out for the rest of the season & Jordan Jenkins taking a break from the sport, could the Brummies possibly look into making 2 changes by bringing in Ben Morley ( 3.81 ) & Danyon Hume ( 3.27 ) in the reserve berths with Nick Agertoft reverting back to the number 2 position. Bearing in mind that Morley had well over a 4.5 point average whilst riding at number 2 for Lakeside last season and at Eastbourne for the first 3 months of this season before being let go & Hume is getting his confidence back after injuries last season with excellent performances for Leicester Cubs in the NDL. A run in a reserve berth along side Hume would give the Brummies a strong looking reserve pairing compared to other Championship teams instead of having a 2.00 rider with little experience in this league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Would seem a no brainier Dave1075 could be a very strong reserve pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Now Agertoft has got an official average, I'm not sure it's worth keeping him in the side for the rest of the year if there is a better option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it rides better rubbish . I prepare bases for many things for a living and have done for 20 years . The volunteers who pull the loose little bit of shale/gravel back every now and then are peeing in the wind. you need proper people with proper equipment like myself . problem is it comes at a cost . The track graders rakes dont even have teeth there flat . Edited August 21, 2019 by ProudtobeaBrummie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 By the way i do not mean any disrespect to the actual guys that do actually do it but if they were employed and paid to do that job they would be sacked . Most would not be strong enough or physically capable to do that job.Now people will/may disagree but that is just a fact . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit dusty later on, but nothing like a few meetings ago when there was so much dust turns 3&4 looked like they'd been hit by a sandstorm.

Like i say all down to weather and track prep . granted we dont get a unlimited amount of time to prep the track .I take that on board but it is poor i can tell visually just by glancing (trained eye its my job ) the track is poor/ patchy inconsistent material. Without been offence but as is the case with most people you only see/look at the superficial aspects of the /any track . unless you know what your actually looking at you would not know . I know i sound like a a hole but i dont mean to . I am sure you can teach/tell me a thing or two about your job . By the way i am not saying the track is dangerous either before anyone says. If anyone wants to PM me i am more than happy to discuss (not argue ) any track prep. Edited August 21, 2019 by ProudtobeaBrummie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
