ScunnyDan 335 Posted May 31, 2021 At this rate, (still early days tho) the rider we need to drop is Aarnio... would BWD fit in Aarnios place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easily with aarnio averaging 6.85 and believe we had excess of 3 points left meaning we could easily fit a 10 rider really 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assistant Press Manager ....................... DO YOUR STUFF AND DROP THE HINT! Rob made a quick change before with Jedd List but would he do the same with Tero? I have a feeling, & other posters have mentioned this, that this year is about racing & not winning! Edited May 31, 2021 by IronScorpion 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scunny1 436 Posted May 31, 2021 Think Tero is under pressure to have a decent score this Friday, or I can see an axe swinging over his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So with a team of 2 heat leaders 1 second string and 4 reserves we want to drop a rider . With a lack of riders available who you going to get with points available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted June 1, 2021 Tero would be welcome back at B'ham at the 'drop' of a hat ! (pardon the pun) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,855 Posted June 1, 2021 Strange after only a few meetings in the British leagues fans are wanting the heads of riders for a possible one off night of racing . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted June 1, 2021 I dont think replacing Tero, will make much difference to a very weak assembled team. Scunthorpe fans have been sold short with that side IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 1, 2021 I didn't think we had a weak assembled team with Jake in & we have only made the 1 change & signed Josh. I did think we had strength in depth, proved against Plymouth without the big hitting heat leaders. We have then got beat by a very good Leicester side & a Berwick side where too many last places, evident by falls, ef's costing us dearly. Tero has had meetings abroad as well as the 2 here so should be doing better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted June 1, 2021 Its not just the amount of matches for Tero (and i don't believe any professional should be short of laps at this stage of the year) its the timing and availability of replacements. If as suggested there is a strong rider in the UK looking for rides and a rider in the team under performing and not contributing to the team then changes have to be strongly considered. No rider is bigger than any club and a positive message to loyal fans may be what is needed (plus wake up any others who have been off their game) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted June 1, 2021 It just looks a poor side on paper.....not sure where any improvements are going to come from? Tero should be hitting his average....especially at home. He's a tough guy with a lot of bottle and I'm sure he'll click soon. Plymouth are going to struggle on every away track with their side.... Leicester look super strong! Will be a great battle when they meet Redcar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should forget about our early season form and concentrate on your clubs problems ie A tractor or grader so you can complete enough heats to get a result for a meeting . Really feel for Jordan Stewart injured on an unsafe track alongside brummie rider Grobearer , really hope he returns to fitness quick and keeps his place at Redcar and Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
