DJC Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Surely Auty and Shanes for Starke and Wright would be the choice? I believe there's been no confirmed date on Auty's return and puts Nielsen back to reserve with Pearson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Auty back end of July; they would be mad to swap Shanes for Wright! (It's James who rode for Newcastle ...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljriley90 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ill be suprised if theres any changes at all for brum unless vissing or auty tell rogers they dont want to commit for the rest of the year Realistically dropping pearson and suty will allow brum to bring in a combo of starke, wethers, wright or clegg For me and starke and clegg a deffo improvement on current showings from pearson and auty. I feel sorry for auty if he does lose his spot though next to no speedway for him for the last 3 seasons. He needs a long enough stint for his inflated average to start falling to the 5.5 mark. He then becomes attractive next year. Otherwise if hes a 7.4 man again next year what teams are going to take the risk unless late to team building? Without a reduction in average for him i think he retires end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissing/Auty and Pearson are the only riders that need replacing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Starke for Auty would be the best option but Starkey will be in demand. Not sure how you would strengthen from the others who were way worse than Birmingham looking at results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Tbh I don't think I would. Let Pearson gain as much experience as possible, not just with speedway but with life experience too. It could just well pay off next season. If Clegg was going to be the difference between making the play offs or not, then worth considering but I don't think that's the case atm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderfella Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 The thing is will BSPA approve multiple changes when it is putting riders out o No doubt some employment law expert would find irregularities in any such process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasoning behind Clegg is two-fold, may be entice a few Ex-Heathens and make home meetings more competitive. Like you, I would like to see Pearson develop, he looks a good prospect....not as good as I envisaged from reports etc..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ideally the riders should be spread around to the clubs permently using guests or r/r, but we know that won't happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders who don't have a team CAN'T guest for others, which makes no sense to me. But hey that's British Speedway for you! Edit: at first I thought you meant shared around as guests, or do you mean as permanent signings? Edited June 22, 2022 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pearson was a Birmingham asset I would agree with you, but as he belongs to Belle Vue I'd drop him if it makes you stronger. Even if he stays & improves there's nothing to stop him leaving in 2023 for Poole or Glasgow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven't they rode to their best till now? Is it because there are available replacements now that Newcastle have folded ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
