Hopefully James will be fit for the home match against Edinburgh, he is working very hard on his rehab. Now be brave and get Dan in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathen52 Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 I take it that the guest facility for James Wright will be reduced by 25% for the matches this week which means a guest with an average of a fraction over 4.00 or can they use rr ?, away at Plymouth is never easy but the home fixture against Edinburgh on wednesday should give the Brummies a good chance of gaining their first points of the season, win that and they can honestly say their season is up and running, lose it then I fear the worst.

Probably RR, as all of the team except Morris can take his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Definitely a bottom of the table clash on Wed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 25% reduction apply to rr eligibility too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 If Wright makes an appearance on Wednesday, but finds that he can't continue, does the Guest facility revert back to 100% average for the rest of season, or is the 28 day situation a rolling rule? Reading between the lines, I can't see Wright coming back strong and making an impact.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree R/R will be the best option in the current circumstance, but we shouldn't have got in to this position in the first place! We could have signed another rider Kemp/Thompson (D) and given Wright more time to heal ? Just have to wait and see, but as Heathen 52 points out, if we get another drubbing, then it's going to hit attendance levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Even if RR is available (and it sounds like it isn't) surely it should be RR at 75% of Wrights average so only Alfie and the reserves could take the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright hasn't ridden this season, so Birmingham only get a facility for a maximum of 28 days, and that has now expired. They're not entitled to a facility anymore. AFAIK Wright is riding on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
