    RYE HOUSE

    What state is the current site in - is it recognisable from the previous speedway stadium? Is there any recent photos?

    Brandon Update

    Out of interest, do we know how much Brandon Estates paid for the land purchase many years ago?

    If you look at last season and even the seasons before that, Milik is not established at the top levels. He is hit and miss in Sweden, is now back riding in the 2nd division after 1 season back in the top flight in Poland and is nowhere near SGP standard - matter of fact, he shown himself to barely be SEC standard. I actually like Milik as a rider as he’s another who isn’t afraid generally to put it about and give it a good go, so he’s worth watching in my book - but for clarity, he is not a top rider.

    Just for the record as you quoted me, I am not a Birmingham fan. Far from it.

    Pawlicki is and I would expect him to average around that. Milik on the other hand certainly isn’t.

    You assume because Lampart rides in the Esktraliga and Wojdylo is only in the 2nd tier

    I agree with that. FWIW Milik isn’t the disastrous signing of this side - that is Lampart. Milik has now been labelled as a heat leader because of everyone that came before him. If they are forking out for flights etc already for Lampart then they would have been better off using that for someone a damn sight lot better as they had the points spare to do so. Zengota, Smektala, Woryna, Lyager, Huckenbeck etc are all examples of someone who would have been far better than Lampart.
  8. Struggling to see what people are seeing in the Belle Vue side that puts them near the top of the league? I think it’s one of the poorer Belle Vue sides assembled for a number of years and based on how they line up currently, I would have them 6th in the league. Poor reserves too. Same goes for Sheffield which could be their downfall especially on nights when Chris Holder or Woffinden don’t fancy it. Oxford has the makings of being a team that could batter any team in the league on their day, but then put up 35 points at home the following night. They are very hard to predict. King’s Lynn are my dark horses, especially if Wojydo hits the ground running. I don’t think they will win the league but they should upset a few. Ipswich are favourites for me by a considerable margin.

    ….and this shows the depths we have stooped to, when a team signs some riders they are expecting to be missing that they are already checking to see if Chris Harris’ average fits and if he can guest. I’m a big fan of shared roles in teams. Teams should have been able to have one shared position in a team, if they wished. That would have likely opened the flood gates abit more for the likes of Laguta and not make Milik etc seem a poor signing. I often think that Sweden is a much better gauge for how they are likely to perform in the UK. Piotr could be a cracking signing although he’s liable to a crash or two. Milik had big promise about 10 years ago but has failed to live up to that and I’ll be amazed if he averages above 7.

    Just for clarity on this one, Milik is not a top rider at all. Pawlicki is a decent signing and is never afraid to put it about. He scores highly in Sweden and will score well for Birmingham - assuming he is there every week.

    This is what I said before and I completely agree with. Fair play to Tolley if he has has coughed huge amounts of money - but it actually only shows even more how incompetent he has been in spending it.

    It was in the speedway star - perhaps you might want to backtrack about ‘wild accusations’.

    Thats also not true

    Why make posts like that? “Ohhh I know more than you do…..” either name them or don’t say anything.
  16. There is no way Iversen has reached the level of Andersen. Iversen is still a very capable rider in Poland (and the UK) so anybody who thinks he’ll be declining that rapidly needs a head wobble. He isn’t a Grand Prix standard rider anymore but he’s alright. For what it’s worth, I would be putting Iversen at no.2 - there is every chance even away from home but especially at home, he would be popping out and winning heat 1 and gives a solid heat 8 too.

    The fact the top two haven’t been signed makes it even more baffling that they have signed Lampart. I get this feeling they think that Lampart is going to be some sort of world beater and he is the next big thing out of Poland - which isn’t the case unfortunately. The top 2 should be signed and then they could decide whether to continue with Lampart or go with a stronger 6/7 pointer.

    If they announce Schlein then I think there will be riots… or the equivalent to that of what small fan base there might be! Birmingham would be a laughing stock after reeling off names like Laguta, Zmarzlik, Lindgren, Lindback and then ending up with Schlein….

    Brummies 2024...

    I think this is a real concern for Birmingham and it’s very clear the team has been together with signings confirmed and announced before a full line up is complete - meaning it’s very likely they will come in well under the points limit. The final signings simply need to be Artem Laguta and Piotr Pawlicki if they are to stand any chance of being competitive and winning home matches. Laguta will be just fine at home after a match or two and there is every chance Pawlicki could bring his usual Swedish form with him. Anybody else and they are likely to be getting beat all over the place and the already dwindling crowds will already be dropping off by the time we head into May.
  20. Recuperat from an injury sustained in the GPs last season, so is sitting out the Aussie champs this year.

    Winter Meetings

    Went to various ones at Newport and even the one that was held at Poole too. That was about -15 degrees. Somerset went to hold one too but was postponed if memory serves me right?

    Brummies 2024...

    This is the way I seen it too. Laguta was given a free pass for several away matches like away to Wolves, to save the air fares and Buster’s wallet

    Brummies 2024...

    I’m not so sure it had anything to do with Wroclaw - that’s backed up by Bewley, Woffinden and now Janowski all signing over here for this season. Laguta might not be a massively reliable number 1 but I would take him scoring a stack load at home over a Matej Zagar type rider any day of the week.

    Brummies 2024...

    Thats not always strictly true - especially in Lindback’s case. He has signed for Landshut in the Polish league but they are actually a German side. It’s all relevant to where they can fly into in Sweden too. It might well be possible but the rider themself might not want to travel from Sweden, to Germany/Poland, to the UK and then back to Sweden before returning to their base.

    Brummies 2024...

    Thats nonsense though. Football clubs are trying to house 30-60,000 depending on which stadium and team it is. Speedway teams are looking to park up around 1,000 people at the very max, so probably 750 cars maybe. It’s not asking alot for them to provide some sort of service, area or deal to make that viable and clear for their customers.
