Anders Rowe rides birmingham well so could snap him up?

IronScorpion Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 If this page is dedicated to the possible Brummies for 2023, Why not start a new thread titled "Birmingham 2023" even though it is early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that hes saying that riders are approaching him and that he's already building the team. I wonder who Birmingham will end up with? I could see Harris returning for sure along with Paco. Ben Pearson probably deserves another chance and sedgmen is a decent outfit. 1. Harris 2. Morris 3. Pickering 4. Paco 5. Sedgmen 6. Joe Thomson 7. B. Pearson Pure fun and guessing going on!! Think that's a decent side with room for improvement. Not amazing but neither a super expensive one Whose Ben Pearson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbat1875 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Harris, shanes, Morris and castagna, dear oh dear a fresh new look team is needed, these 4 have been here before and not really ripped any trees up, none of them have improvement in them, why keep suggesting the same old same old every year, I would keep Nielsen and Pearson from last season and that's it, the others I wouldn't waste the ink in the pen, no wonder brummies can't attract any new fans when you keep signing past failures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummiestormer Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 Morris would never be in a side i would pick...the rest i could forgive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted September 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 Certainly Castagna. James Wright rode very well in the two challenge matches; well worth considering? And everyone has forgotten Justin Sedgmen, who has proved his worth this year. Did you see his ride in Heat 15 last Wednesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Leicester point of view I could see one of the Thomson twins being split as well I think Pearson is the only definite as he needs persevering with, points limit will decide if teams go top heavy or have two heat leaders and team of five pointers. Anders Rowe would be a great fit, he's put a point on his average since returning to the UK. His passion is misjudged as petulance, but Crump, Doyle, Woffy, Havvy were 20 once and had all the passion and class that's required to succeed. I think the consortium are respected by the riders and in return will give the supporters an attractive team to support in 2023.

Dream Team stance? I would love to see Covatti back at Perry Barr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayTShirts Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) I think Lee Complin would be a good shout for the Brummies in 2023 1. Smolinski 2. Morris 3. Pickering 4. Castagna 5. Sedgmen 6. Complin 7. Pearson Definitely need a crowd puller like Smoli or it could be the final year, Edited September 21, 2022 by SpeedwayTShirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 It will be interesting to see what they come up with regards Team Limits. It may be better to focus on certain segments as well as any overall limit if the League were same numbers as now. E.G A max figure for 3 heat Leaders / or not allowed more than 2 over say 7.5, just to equal up strengths. However, if a few Clubs who have run in 2022, don't make it to tapes in 2023, and at least 1 moves up, and no one new comes in to CL , they may be able to increase points limit and have a more competitive League with slightly fewer Clubs Would an example 2 Leagues of 8 Clubs ( or a 7 and a 9) with Home and Away twice and no micky mouse summer add ons and a KOC be an option? 15 meaningful Home Fixtures guaranteed with 8 Clubs and Home and Away twice?

That won't be enough for some teams - or riders!! I thought some clubs have a 'minimum number of home fixtures ' written into their rental agreements with their landlords?!
