NO NO I don't understand the anti-Batchelor comments, he has a 7+ average. So on this season's form he'd be an improvement for every Birmingham rider!

That would mean that riders with an awkward average would get a team place instead of being unemployable, as now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizHeathen Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) So lets presume Hagon for Pearson and a solid 3rd heat leader for Wright (Howarth?). What other changes are coming? Surely Nielson will be replaced? There are some gems out there, its just the small matter of finding them. Again more points available when the next lot of averages are released, 2 or 3 maybe? Rew for Neilson???? I haven't done any maths but all of a sudden I see a very solid lineup. Edited June 18, 2023 by BrizHeathen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst LR was in charge, the "Tactical Facility" was a staple of the Brummies lineup almost since day one. Let's hope that with a new team manager, the Brummies can go back to being a 7-man team again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 names that I have heard mentioned are one newcomer and one old hand ie Rew and Andersen, would they both fit ?, I think Rew would be a very good signing, Andersen is just earning his pension money these days.

Crowds of around 400 to 450 Landlords who seem uninterested in Speedway. An Owner who in his own words has already put in and lost 250k Concerns about Planning Permissions for development of the area not already developed A poor side is immaterial compared to those hurdles.

heathen52 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) They have obviously signed someone to replace James Pearson (Sam Hagon ?) and Kenyan Rew to replace James Wright would be a very good signing, they simply have to beat Berwick at Perry Barr on wednesday if they are to have any hope of making the play offs.
