DJC 251 Posted June 22, 2022 Surely Auty and Shanes for Starke and Wright would be the choice? I believe there's been no confirmed date on Auty's return and puts Nielsen back to reserve with Pearson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 512 Posted June 22, 2022 Auty back end of July; they would be mad to swap Shanes for Wright! (It's James who rode for Newcastle ...) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljriley90 47 Posted June 22, 2022 Ill be suprised if theres any changes at all for brum unless vissing or auty tell rogers they dont want to commit for the rest of the year Realistically dropping pearson and suty will allow brum to bring in a combo of starke, wethers, wright or clegg For me and starke and clegg a deffo improvement on current showings from pearson and auty. I feel sorry for auty if he does lose his spot though next to no speedway for him for the last 3 seasons. He needs a long enough stint for his inflated average to start falling to the 5.5 mark. He then becomes attractive next year. Otherwise if hes a 7.4 man again next year what teams are going to take the risk unless late to team building? Without a reduction in average for him i think he retires end of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vissing/Auty and Pearson are the only riders that need replacing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted June 22, 2022 Starke for Auty would be the best option but Starkey will be in demand. Not sure how you would strengthen from the others who were way worse than Birmingham looking at results... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted June 22, 2022 Tbh I don't think I would. Let Pearson gain as much experience as possible, not just with speedway but with life experience too. It could just well pay off next season. If Clegg was going to be the difference between making the play offs or not, then worth considering but I don't think that's the case atm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinderfella 865 Posted June 22, 2022 The thing is will BSPA approve multiple changes when it is putting riders out o No doubt some employment law expert would find irregularities in any such process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My reasoning behind Clegg is two-fold, may be entice a few Ex-Heathens and make home meetings more competitive. Like you, I would like to see Pearson develop, he looks a good prospect....not as good as I envisaged from reports etc..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted June 22, 2022 Ideally the riders should be spread around to the clubs permently using guests or r/r, but we know that won't happen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
