Sometimes, managerial decisions have to be made for what's best for the club, not what a couple of fans think. I would have thought maybe quite a few more than a couple.

Yearbyred 1,107 Posted June 4, 2019 Ostergaard confirmed as the replacement for Barker. Expected this to be honest, not a massive amount of riders to choose from based on the current averages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lunna said that he had been surfing in Indonesia and was fitter than he had ever been (??) Was pleased that he had signed for Newcastle, then just before the beginning of the season decides he is not riding because of fitness/injury problems??.His decision obviously but to me slightly confusing. A bit like recent decision of Zach Wajtknecht's to take time out of speedway. from what I was told over the winter months a holiday romance has turned into a long term one,we are all guilty at some point in our lives of making strange decisions when in love.

The way I saw him was.......Ulrich is a good/hard rider, but his machinery lacks speed....I reckon if B'ham had of known about Zach quitting before sacking Ulrich, he'd of still been with us now??? Great/likeable guy and I wish him well at Redcar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL! Will add lots of smiley faces in case anyone thinks I'm having a dig or anything Sad to see Ben go, but obviously off track Ben weighed more than on track Ben. Ulrich fits the bill and I'll almost guarantee he ups his current Birmingham average back at the MPA. (And John, just to reiterate, that isn't a dig. Just too good to leave unmentioned). Honestly, Boothers 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My post reads exactly as us Brummies would say it : ))))) I think Foamy would of got it eventually. Its worked out best for all parties as Oystercard had to move on & Redcar have a home track expert. Providing there is a local Mountfield hopefully he can also get his lawnmowers serviced he may even get a point or two on the road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
