Steve Shovlar Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Pirates final home league meeting of the season before the playoffs. Hopefully Brum will turn up with a decent guest and give it a go. Three points guaranteed so it’s all down to Edinburgh away and Oxford at Glasgow to see who will finish top of the pile and take the pick of the teams in the top six. Current forecast is for a dry day with no rain about. Decent crowd expected. Can Birmingham pull off a big shock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Well he rode the semi but how much was adrenaline is anyone’s guess. Fingers crossed it’s nothing bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think he is meant to be riding at BV for Leicester tomorrow, so see if he rides in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Bomber guesting for Lawson at BV today. Not shocked bound to have woken up sore after that fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wednesday is in doubt then I guess the guest would be Danny (assuming recovered from the Wright missile), Rory or Josh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathen52 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Surely any half decent HL as a guest will be enough for you to beat the Brummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lawson didn't try and drop his average we might have been able to have Masters But I guess Oxford are riding anyway (haven't checked).

No, Poole v Brummies is the only meeting on Wednesday. A bit dodgy using anyone from Oxford or Glasgow whilst top spot is still up for grabs, especially as some clubs feel its imperative they finish top?! My choice would be Pickering as it would be in his (Edinburgh's) interest for Brummies to be well beaten!!

Funny things might happen. I guess it depends how much we want to finish top and if we don't would we rather Edinburgh or Brum were in Oxford's group?

Poole are capable of beating any of the other 5 teams on aggreagte - yes even Oxford as we won't lose there by as many as before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh racing at Plymouth on Tuesday, so quite handy for getting to Poole for Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resting up. He's included in the Poole 1-7 (if fit). Brummies have Josh Pickering guesting for Morris. This will be Kyle Newman's last outing at 2 and Anders at 6 before they swap for September Edited August 28, 2023 by Skidder1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King, Wright, Howarth, Schlein best choices. Scott Nicholls also fits btw, but prob not a choice for obvious reasons. But not stopping Josh guesting for Brum when could affect Edinburgh.
