Brummie Kev 519 Posted October 16, 2015 So with Ellis moving upto the Premier League and Adam Kirby taking a year out, who would Brummies fans like to see at Perry Barr next year. Zach Wajtknecht Tom Perry Sam Chapman Jack Smith Jack Parkinson Blackburn Zach has got to be first name on the team sheet for next year, Tom is a Cradley Asset but we dont know what is happening with the Heathens yet. Tom has been a great captain this year and is always box office to watch. I would give Chapman another go as I believe hes a rider that can still improve to become a solid heat leader, hes just been unlucky with injuries this year. Jack Smith has something to offer, he was scoring points regularly towards the end of the season. JPB may well be elsewhere but he has something about him imo and a nice riding style. It all depends on the points limit as to who the last two riders would be but another heat leader would be needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted October 17, 2015 Could get greaves at a bargain if he's still 6:06? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted October 17, 2015 Aren't the Brummies promotion unsure at this stage which league they'll be operating in during 2016? I'm sure they'll be a fair bit of pressure on them to move up to the PL at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniev123 58 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Alex if you are suggesting that Nathan Greaves is on a 6.06, dream again my friend. He is on a GSA of 7.08 and could be at Cradley if we are at the tapes in 2016. But then what do I know! Edited October 17, 2015 by berniev123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then what do I know! oh right I read that he was 6:06 somewhere else on forum. Anyway doesn't matter to me he won't come to Eastbourne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CUFC_Brummie 132 Posted October 18, 2015 I think Sam is your archetypal second stringer, he's never going to set the world on fire but he's always good for 5 or 6 points pretty much wherever we ride, doesn't seem to venture too much either side of that, I think he's useful to have from that respect and I'd certainly keep him. Would agree with those 5, you'd suspect then you're going to need another 3 pointer (barring a huge rise in the points limit) and then the final rider depends on what the limit ends up being, if we're NL.

Ben91 1,743 Posted October 18, 2015 Expect to see Parkinson-Blackburn at Buxton, if the Brummies line up with him and Smith at reserve though then that's probably the best reserve pairing in the league for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they'll be a fair bit of pressure on them to move up to the PL at least. Graham Drury said in a radio interview last week he would be "very very surprised" if we went PL.

I overheard the father of one of our 1-7 say to the father of another one of our 1-7 on the terraces a couple of weeks ago that he'd be coming to Birmingham next season, but it may have been a case of Chinese whispers.

uk_martin 1,606 Posted October 19, 2015 ... it may have been a case of Chinese whispers. Did you hang around long enough to catch the delivery of two portions of King Plawn Cully with Flied Lice and Plawn Clackers, that these two dads had ordered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say I find that a strange reason for Tony Mole to give, especially as all the 2015 teams are now confirmed starters next year. I'm also disappointed as Birmingham, Eastbourne, Kent, Stoke, and Mildenhall all have, in my opinion, a lot to offer the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look back into the archives and you will find that this time last year Graham Drury was saying how much he was enjoying his retirement and had no plans on returning to speedway. Things change!
