Wasn't Josh going to guest for Glasgow at one point in jubilee thingy last season but then changed his mind. Proctor said he is just doing speedway for fun now so prob not interested in the rights and wrongs of guesting! More money for retirement. I think from Proctors perspective...its all about getting some laps under your belt....especially after his long lay-off and all these rain-offs to boot! I don't think there is any right/wrongs from a guest's point of view...he no doubt just 'wants' the money (as Lisa points out....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Getting back on topic.... Personally, I think we'd of been stronger had we used R/R for Wright tonight. Paco is slightly above average if he gates, but I can't remember him passing anybody in all his time with us. I hope to see an improved Paco tonight!

That makes sense, an away win for Redcar would've hurt Brummies chances of qualifying! Edited April 19, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Weather looks dry if a bit chilly so lets hope hundreds wrap up and get down to PB tonight to support Nigel and Laurence and the team. Lets not forget those Tracks that have closed / are closing and that Speedway Racing and entertainment is far more important in the bigger scheme of things than win at all costs and breaking the bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummies fans may remember we came a cropper under that rule when Emiliano Sanchez was unable to start for us in 2007 and the team had to use a 3-point NL reserve in his place. It obviously doesn't apply now, if a facility is being granted for James Wright, but it'd be interesting to know when it was removed from the rule book. Did Sanchez ride in the team at Birmingham in 2006 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs credibility though.Racing and Entertainment is important,but you need fans to watch it. The League is just a set of Challenge Matches these days.Everybody riding for Everybody when it suits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by last years result & previous years away performances, this is a meeting I am looking forward to as Birmingham have not raced yet & it will test us with the riders we put together this year(almost) to see how we perform & pick up points on the road. It has not been a good week for our riders performing in the Premiership but this is a lower level. Hope it is good racing & riders stay safe.

Tosh1218 Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 With regards the Sanchez my comment wether he rode in for Birmingham in 2006 if he had rode for Birmingham in 2006 and was named in there 2007 line up and it was approved by the BSPA then a guest facility would have been available to them . So the snide comments wasn’t really needed was they ?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But James Wright didn't ride for Birmingham in 2022 but they have been given a facility so you're logic is actually flawed regarding that's why you have one for Kennedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
