Just my opinion but think Hume got more improvement as last season was what only his 2nd or 3rd full season as keeps getting left on the heap. Shanes and Morris been around for years but always float around same average Totally agree Hume has much. More improvement left to come. Shanes and Morris are decent riders but in my view Hume could be a heat leader in time the other two won't be. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need another big hitter if Auty is starting at number 5. Take Auty in the middle order with two Big hitters only if we could find them!! I agree Birmingham "need another big hitter" but it doesn't mean there are any available who want to come & race for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if they did have one or someone then i'm sure they would be announced to give a massive boost to the Brum new Management Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth looking at Sweden for a No 1...one season swansong, Peter Ljung or similar anyone not riding Danish League. Gino had a serious accident back on December so I don't think he'll be ready to ride this season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,026 Posted January 19, 2022 Don't agree with any suggestions of signing riders like Ruml, Manzares or any 4.00 foreigners. Birmingham starting with Morris & Nielsen at reserve would be the strong point of the team, adding a 4.00 rider just moves one of them up into the top 5.

semion 2,192 Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Think Birmingham fans are forgetting what Mainman Rogers brings to the party. Who needs an out and out No1. When you have Lol filling in the Programme. Edited January 19, 2022 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted January 20, 2022 It's a good fixture list from the Brummies point of view, a local derby with Leicester, big hitters Poole and the return of Harris with Berwick to start the season with should attract the fans and bring in plenty of revenue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummies_Ste 134 Posted January 20, 2022 So the season virtually finishes by end of July. No fixtures in August when the school kids always swell the attendance during that month. Absolute madness ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
