Yes sadly Birmingham had riders assessed UP when most teams want riders on low false averages. Unfortunately for the Brummies he has come into our league which is at its strongest in 12 years or more so it was always going to be tough for him. That said he is a very capable rider.

How is it false? Its a truer representation of his 2023 season. You can’t just bump it up because he has started 2024 well when guesting.

As they should be.

He hasn’t ridden in the UK in years so of course he needs to adapt to the British tracks. He scored 8 in his 2nd meeting so he certainly wasn’t sh#te in that one. He rides in the top flight in Sweden and had ridden regularly in the top flight in Poland (the 2nd tier in Poland is not much different to our top flight) so it’s without question he is more than a decent rider. He is definetly a racer and a trier and I’m delighted he is back in British speedway. I hope he stays and is able to settle.

It’s not the bottom league. It’s a very high standard league when you consider the standard of riders. Similar to our league. Milik is a decent standard in Europe and needs to adapt to UK tracks before he starts scoring well which he will. Great rider.

No, as per the Jason Doyle SCB statement.

Tigers by 10.

You weren’t too far out.

Sheffield should hit 50.

Does anyone have a link for the Polish Leagues calendar? trying to schedule in a meeting or 2 when I’m in Krakow. Thanks in advance.

Riss definetly has room for improvement on that average, but he has never looked like being better in the top flight than Klindt.

Cook has had some rubbish meetings too!

Klindt for Lampart or Worrall is an improvement.

Using what logic because he isn’t. Klindt has out averaged Riss year in year out and is a decent dependable 3rd heat leader whereas Riss is just an average second string. Lampart maybe had the potential to be a hit in the UK (although evidence suggests not so far!) whereas little improvement in Riss.

Id agree with that so this decision is barmy? Riss is a downgrade on Klindt so the only sense is another change coming as well? the season is barely a month old tho!

Klindt to Birmingham surely has to happen asap for Cook or Lampart?

Not sure what you mean Tolley is losing shed loads of money. Crowds apparently have been decent, certainly was when I was at the last home match and plenty of Wolves, Cradley and Cov fans enjoying the racing too. If anything I think he will be more than happy with expenses from much bigger crowds than they have been used too. As expected tho the power of the Lions top 5 was on show tonight. Or just against poor opposition it’s hard to make out. 6 points from your top 2 just isn’t good enough.

They are the Cheetahs….. in the Championship.

48-42

50 - 40 to the Witches.

Brummies were poor out the gate and was a big let down. Nicholls was awesome and Brennan did good, particularly his last 2 rides however the rest were very poor. Milik had one good race but gating was awful. Lampart looked quick to drop it in heat 10 after minimal contact with Harris which cost the club points. Flint failing to beat the rookie 16 year old in heat 8 was a big let down. Worrall was woeful and Cook only slightly better. If you can’t beat a team without their number one then it’s going to be a long season. Crowd was decent with a fair smattering of Wolves and Bees fans plus a couple of old Heathens. A couple of decent action races but the majority of races were strung out. Disappointed with Milik who I really like and looking forward to seeing Pawlicki later in the season. Oxford really never looked like losing.

Disappointed no Janowski or Pawlicki for my first meeting of the season. Hope the weather stays kind.

The same pairing that took a 3 all in heat 13 tho.

Good on the Brummies for not being the whipping boys everyone predicted. milik proving that he is a quality rider. So looking forward to seeing him next week.

On paper should be an easy ride for the champions. Here is hoping for a last heat decider and 43-47
