It might work with Bomber being at Leicester ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac101 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Dillon Ruml and Broc Nicol would be a decent second string pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the official approach is as regards the calculations. I always round up & assume that's correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 21 hours ago, Brummie Boy said: The first three riders signed up is a good start and gives the fans some continuity from last season. Someone mentioned Alfie Bowtell as another possible and I would like to see him in the team, as I recall seeing him round PB and thinking he has a liking for the track. Fingers crossed there is some truth in what the other poster suggests. Not keen on Nick Morris, as his average makes the team too reliant on one rider and, as has been pointed out previously, I don't remember him having an outstanding meeting at PB. Bomber has also been suggested, which I would not be entirely against, as he is one of British Speedway's great entertainers, but I would prefer to see someone different at PB this year. In an "ideal world" I would like to see Tom Brennan and Dan Thompson as the next two on the list. Both young Brits with masses of promise and talent. I could see both of them being capable of upping their averages next year. On the downside, I am sure they are in great demand to ride for other teams, so maybe we might struggle to make them a good enough offer. Finally, would love to see Danny King back in the red B. Poole will need to let some heat leaders go, so if Danny is available to join the Brummies for a season, he would bring loads of experience to the side and make the ideal captain. Personally, I would love to see him back, as I have missed his board scrapping rides round the outside of the track. Therefore, my ideal team would have been Justin Sedgmen 7.04 Stefan Nielsen 4.82 Danny King 8.06 Dan Thompson 5.09 Tom Brennan 6.71 Alfie Bowtell 4.28 James Pearson 4.00 I think, if I've got the averages right (with the Brit reductions), that team would total 40 points. Continuity is great if your teams doing well, not so great if the riders helped the team to the bottom of the league... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Brummies now will sign some phantom riders so that the continuity with R/R and Guests can be continued. All that investment into Tipp-Ex (other correction fluids are available) that the fans have made last year mustn't be wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 We are lucky that the owners are willing to carry on, but our first signing should've been a new Team Manager, with the current one staying on as a promoter/club assistant. I admire LR's commitment and work ethic, but his team building/tactics fall short IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
