Does that work? Ideally you can drop proctor for a marquee number 1. Paco has to be a shoe in as an entertainer and rode very well at PB second half of year Summers has retired, Shanes and Morris have already signed with Birmingham and I think Ty Proctor won't be returning to British speedway next season. I still believe Bates, Castagna and Sedgmen have a lot to offer a team though and would be worth the risk in the middle order of a team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,130 Posted December 19, 2021 Please....no Bates.... We need to sign riders that will improve on the ones we've already signed, so that's Sedgemen out also IMO.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is there doesn't appear to be too many options left, unless the management have a surprise signing lined up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s very easy to say no to everyone, but much more difficult to offer alternatives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,918 Posted December 19, 2021 Okay based on riders already signed and who I believe maybe available. Adam Ellis 7.57 Josh Auty 7.16 Ash Morris 4.68 James Shanes 4.87 Paco Castangna 5.52 Claus Vissing 8.43 Dillon Ruml or Josh Macdonald 4.00 Of course a lot depend upon what the Promotion's budget is, but at the end of the day does anyone on this Forum know what Birmingham's budget is. But it shows what can be achieved with building a team with possible riders out there, who don't have clubs in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that Poole will go with Steve Worrall, Danny King and Richard Lawson as their heatleader trio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are the only riders available, there's certainly no risk in using them! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
