brianbuck Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Is there a supporter living in the Tamworth area who could help out an old supporter friend of mine who has avidly followed the Brummies since 1946 but who is now unable to drive? He is looking for a lift to and from Perry Barr for the 2020 season and would willingly pay half of the fuel cost. If there is anyone out there who could help, would they please send me a private message with a contact number. Many thanks Edited October 19, 2019 by brianbuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Hunter Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 18 hours ago, Col said: Huge chunk out of whatever the team building limit is. Not really. I would imagine provisional approval has been given for a 42.5 point limit for next year. It makes sense, and I would think the majority of clubs in the Championship favour it. This is the BSPA we are dealing with though.... If Birmingham now sign the riders I think they will, the team comes in at just under 42.5 (42.48 to be precise). Watch this space....

GiveusaB Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Harris and Garritty are great signings....neither are out and out number 1's, but they will definitely give us value for money so far as entertainment goes... How anyone can criticise Bomber is beyond me? a true racer if ever there was one.... I think I would add Morris/Shanes and most likely Paco too....I'm guessing Agertoft will return at reserve ? Not sure what that would leave us with ? (average wise...) Ellis would be the icing if 'figures' allow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis would be the icing if 'figures' allow? i fear Adam is already committed to Denmark and Sweden (Tuesday and Wednesday) and that Harris + Garrity are part of a stronger top 4 without the out and out number 1. I don't think Adam will ride CL this season as he decided not to last winter and only came in as less Polish meetings than he anticipated.

spin king junior Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 If you consider Garrity a good signing then you're utterly delusional. Absolute unprofessional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Agertoft would be a poor signing even at reserve. Better British riders on lower averages are surely available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris 8.7 Garrity 7.23 Shanes 5.31 Morris 5.46 Castagna 4.93 9.37 is points limit is 41, 10.87 if points limit is 42.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Tobias Thomsen, who should improve a lot next year, is still on 4, which leaves 5.37 to 6.87 for the seventh. Tero Aarnio would fit in 42.5? I for one would like to see him back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really more of a prospect than Danyon Hume who's average is 3.27. Hume is two years younger. Edited October 21, 2019 by Col 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomsen showed vast improvement towards the end .I assume a big factor will be Paco, Shanes and Thomsen are all assets so would save costs in terms of loan fees . Granted i have no idea what sort of money you pay for a loan but never the less a saving it would be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Loan fees are probably nothing compared to airfares, obviously don't know if Castagna, Aarnio & Thomsen plan to base themselves in the UK in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say/admit, but Thomsen is a much better/abled rider than Danyon…... I'd prefer Stoneman over Danyon…... I thought I'd read that Kemp might be up for grabs? And there's still Tom Bacon to factor in ? (possibly) Well done to our promoters for bagging 2 great signings early doors! Up the Brummies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Bacon is 5.2ish average wise. I only saw Hume once. He was quick but erratic, I'd take that over Agertoft very slow but steady & Castagna's less slow but clamped to the inside unless forced off it.

HGould Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Danyon certainly deserves a chance at CL level but I feel we must move quickly as will be a lot of Clubs after quality British reserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
