ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted September 18, 2019 Would love Broc nicol but we have no chance unless Sheffield go up a league as rumoured . Even then every team in the league will be after him on that average. Kemp Jury is out he has gone backwards this season for a reason unknown to me. He has dropped almost 3.00 points of his NL average this season and currently unsure if his any value. Again Kyle is on a decent average now a whole point less than we signed him on but i think he is Eastbourne bound as he has been popular down there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way will points limit be 38 as it has been a disaster. This league will revert back to 42.5 or 40 points at the minimum. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think 40 to start with and up to 42 mid season I'm also convinced Nichol won't go to a weekend track like Eastbourne as they (Team Hagon) will want to get him on to Continent (Poland or invitational meetings) most weekends, that's way Becker has gone and seems to have worked well. Masons will know Hagons pretty well so no harm in making a bid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No: Thomsen showed plenty of potential in his last two matches: 10 against Scunthorpe, including winning Heat 1. Agertoft has shown that he can win Heat 2; if he spends the winter learning to gate, he will be worth a punt. Both are Brummies assets.

Dont give up on Kemp he would of learned an awful lot this season watch him on you tube in the under 21 final at Belle Vue he was really in the mix.He has had a tough time and Sheffield in the top 5 come to soon for him but next year he can improve also it just's shows you how the NL has got stronger.

Kemp is a talent ,still very young.Bickley hasn’t progressed as much as he would have either but needs more time IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,133 Posted September 18, 2019 Would love to see Danny Ayres at Brum.....I know he gets on well with the owners. I think Tom Bacon will be back ? Arnio definitely finished the season with a lot of credit, so I'd take him back too. As for team building? I suggest signing a No.1 first and then build a team around him....which is totally the opposite to what we did last year ( but there was legitimate reasons for that...) Ellis/Morris/Shanes/Bacon/Ayres/Arnio/Thomsen I'd love Garrity back but I expect other clubs to be chasing him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally see/understand your point.....but Garrity light up Perry Barr every time he took to the track! He just needs man managing.....Peter Adams style! He could make the National team if he wanted it?! He reminds me a bit like David Norris (ex Eastbourne) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Controversy follows Mr.Barker where ever he goes but do you believe absolutely everything you read on Facebook? Whilst I personally wouldn't lend him a second hand elastic band I also believe key board trolls do love to add fuel to a fire. If he is as guilty as they make out I'm sure the Police would have been involved and then we all would have read about it. Barker is a talent on a bike. He may be a bit of a rogue off it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So his own family are lying ? There are some very reliable sources commenting on there and some people heavily involved in the sport . I do get your point though.
