Possibly yes and Birmingham ditched zach but he went back to them and there is the possibility of Birmingham not finishing the season money wise Hope not but it's there in the background??

To suggest they won't finish the season money wise, is bollocks imo! They struggled last season, so why would they go again if they can't see it through?

Can’t remember the exact figure but wasn’t it something like 5ish? But Zagar spent several months at #1 with a higher average than Fricke & Kurtz. Aces were actually better at home when Zagar was at #1 than when either Aussie was in hat position.

Having seen every heat of the SoN, Thorsell benefitted from the general poorness of the Danes & Poles, he got out the gate & made himself difficult to pass but Lindgren did all the hard yards for the Swedes. On 11/28/2024 at 3:49 PM, therefused said: Zagar is a class above both Pawlick and Milik Pawlicki is probably a better rider than Zagar now, but his attitude wasn't right in 2024. On a 4.11 average I think Milik would be worth a punt to start the season at resreve. 3 hours ago, TheSmiler said: Keynan Rew signs. I'm expecting serious improvement this year from Rew, average wise, could push on to be second heat leader if he has a good season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Hard to imagine Zagar averaging less than 7 to be honest. Knows the tracks well and will settle down at Birmingham pretty quickly. Always liked him, thought he would go all the way to the very top after seeing his debut season with Trelawny where he was even better than Iversen who Newport signed. From memory averaged nearly 10 in his debut season. Was a class act for Reading too. Hopefully the ambition being showed by Brum works out. Signing Nilsson, Zagar, Thorsell and Tobi as well as Rew wont come cheap but if they do all click then they could be quite a top side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could attract a new support base especially if the club hires a load a portaloos.😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Don't know why people still keep harping on about Zach Cook being treated badly last season. Plenty of riders have been unfairly dropped over the last few years in order that their club's can play the numbers game, and although they don't like it, most of these riders just accept it as a hazard of their job. I also thought it was a mistake to let Zach go at the time, but the fact that he came back into the team at a later date and then showed considerable improvement, says it all. He would have been daft to have missed the chance of returning, and would just have been doing himself out of earning more money. Personally, I'd have liked to have him back for 2025, but I wish him well wherever he does go. Just as a matter of interest, which of us would have ditched Milik and retained Pawlicki last season? In hindsight, we would have benefitted by keeping Milik who did at least put some effort into his riding, which is more than can be said about Pawlicki- but by reputation, Pawlicki was and is, a far better option, had we only realised this at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brum had moved quicker they would have got Z.Cook back ...Rew is a good signing tho .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
