Suffice to say give me James Wright everyday of the week. If you are a stats man then both Wright/Silver are pretty similar really.Both reached 5 British Final's ( Silver's decade more difficult?) one U21 world championship final and both won a Division 2 title.Silver though had two division two averages of 10.46 and 10.66 where as Wright had one year only over nine at 9.53.For me Silver underacheived really he was around with Martin Dugard ( class) yet Dugard pushed on in his career and Silver left the scene everyone will have a view but it would be Silver for me all day long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Silver and Wright cannot really be compared can they - Silver pretty much left at the top of his game there or there abouts whilst Wright had a couple of good years then slowly fading and becoming a rider nobody would want in their side.

And 'both' riders have nowt to do with Birmingham ..... So, let's try and find out for PTBaB if our 'Bulls' side are running this year? and who is going to be sorting our track out ?

Wright rode for Birmingham in the past so actually smart arse, he does have something to do with Birmingham.

You could always get proudtobeabrummie to do the track he says he knows all about ground works but I will tell you now he would not have a clue where to start?

Col Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 It's all my fault for saying Wright is worth a gamble on a 4.00 average. For the record I never saw Silver ride often, a couple.of visits to Dudley Wood in Swindon colours & a few Brandon British Final Sundays aost. I eas never convinced he was ever in control of his bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 In all fair ness, I think Wright must be one of the strangest cases I have seen in speedway for being one minute superb to absolute mince within a season. It is quite puzzling to think what went wrong so quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fault there Col.....it's great to hear the name of riders from the past that probably didnt quite reach expectations or fulfill their potential? You are so right about 'Silver' ? great to watch, but you wouldn't want to be too close to him on a tight track? : ) He always reminded me of a surfer? on and off the bike !

Adam Roynon & Kyle Legault. What a season that should have been. Injuries to that team drained my enthusiasm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just going through Polish lineups for 2020 and noticed Agertoft in the Gniezno line up . Is this Nick Agertoft ? seems a big leap for Nick riding in the Polish second tier . Good luck to him all the same . After all he is one of our few assets .

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Highly doubt he’ll actually be riding for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Do either Agertoft or Thomsen have Allsvenskan rides in 2020? @Ghostwalker That would be the next logical step for them, I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a scan through the top 2 Swedish leagues squads and neither Tobias or Nick are named in either . But it is great to see Leon Flint in the Smedera B squad in the Allsvenskan .

They are listed on a thread on this forum under International world of speedway . That is where i have found the 2020 lineups for both Polish and Swedish leagues .
