mikebaker Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Has Nielsen ever completed a season without being injured. He is 28 now, still looks uncomfortable on a bike. Every time he rides at Redcar, has at least one fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's how things work. Don’t think Wright and Nielsen should ever have been signed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 28 now, still looks uncomfortable on a bike. Every time he rides at Redcar, has at least one fall. Unfortunately he is one of those riders highly susceptible to injury for whatever reason. With James Wright, shoulder injuries so often cause under performance for a few weeks following the rider's return and a spell at No 2 often provides some help in the rehab process. But all too often an op is needed during the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I think Birmingham thought with Edinburgh closing were getting Pickering and Paco which would've freed up 1.5 so could've had a 6.5/ 7 in middle order or kemp/ Dan T instead of proctor. Was probably best could put together in the circumstances but not a strong side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Shoulder injuries probably one of the worst in speedway for ruining a riders career , though Doyle went years and years struggling with his but ended up having a big op and it completely changed his career.

BrizHeathen Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 My money is on two changes (for Nielsen and Wright), which potentially could make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the 2 obvious riders to replace and from a crowd point of view the sooner the better, people want to see a winning team and paying £20 to watch your team lose is not much fun. I dont blame the riders for the predicament the Brummies are in but having only 2 Heat leaders was always going to be a receipt for disaster.

GiveusaB Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Especially when the 2nd heat leader hasn't managed double figures at home yer and has won only 2 races from 4 meetings. Crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t the 2 Heat Leaders that was the problem,it’s the 5 reserves. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 The first person that should be sacked is the manager, before we lose all the fans! Even Brian Buck can't cover him after last night's debacle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.R does not get paid. Think the only one you could get is rossco , or Lee kilbey but don't think either one would want it. Don't forget it's got to be someone who as got a promoter's license.

Cami Brown not a promoter at Glasgow, Gavin Parr not a promoter at Redcar, are just I can think of off the top of my head. Probably a few more that I can't think of (it's early LOL) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham's "actual" promoters, as yet, are unlicensed, so if you get rid of LR, the club would need someone else with a promoters license in order to continue, according to BSPZzzz rules & regulations.

Because no of the people who have saved the club can not have a promoter's licence till next season.
