Birmingham Speedway


Recommended Posts

A weak Birmingham or any other team for that matter is of no use to the League, lose Birmingham and the League is virtually unsustainable unless Peterborough/Wolves make a return.

A bigger League will always be more conducive to maintaining the structure of British Speedway but it relies on individuals and sponsors to keep propping up these clubs.

If BV haven't already got him

Belle Vue HAD Zach Cook. Whether Rew’s sudden availability has given them second thoughts and caused them to back out of a deal with Zach, who knows. Both fit average wise for Ben Cook to get them under the limit. Still think they’ll keep their word and go with Zach but we’ll see.

Chances of getting Rew are very minimal because Mark Lemon will jump at the chance to sign him for BV.

However the good news is either Zach Cook or Track Specialist Norick Blodorn would be available to Birmingham.

Using realistic riders only whilst taking a tight budget into consideration rather than building a strong expensive side that features unrealistic riders.

 

1. ?

2. Lampart

3. S. Worrall

4. Z. Cook or Blodorn

5. Thorssell

6. Sedgmen or Kerr

7. Edwards (RS)

Who else is available is the question? Imo Tolley won't be able to afford a team of overseas riders.

Anyone operating on a tight budget would more than likely look for British based riders.

Yes, Rumoured to be signing for Scunny.

Not ruling out Lampart to Oxford as they'll have just over 5 pts to use assuming Musielak is the No.1.

Now teams are getting put in place it really makes you wonder who Birmingham are signing. If the rumoured teams are true then there isn't one heat leader I can think of who is signing. Lots of 4/5 point riders avaliable. Worrall, Sedgmen, S Lambert, Rory S, Kemp, Vuolas, Rew etc. They have to surely convince some foreign guys to come over. They have no choice really .

That's why I'm putting together a 1-7 mostly full of British based riders that aren't rumoured for another club.

I just cant see Tolley signing up a team of overseas riders as he's already gone public in regards to the financial situation at the club.

I'd be looking at the ageing riders coming towards the end of their careers who may want to top up the retirement fund like Zagar, Kildemand, Kasprzak (If he's still riding).

I think they'll get Thorssell due to the Wolves connections.

Worth a punt I reckon.

Same.

Wolves engine room of Schlein, S. Worrall and Z. Cook is a good shout assuming Rew heads to BV.

Add in Thorssell and then it's 4 former Wolves riders.
