uk_martin 1,606 Posted July 19, 2022 Out of 14 riders, 4 are guests and one is called Reidar Replacement, or something. Reidar Replacement and all 4 guests outscored the top-scoring Brummies contracted rider. And I'll qualify that by saying that it took Sedgmen 5 rides to get his 4+1 as opposed to Castagna who achieved it in 4 rides. That, folks, is a major reason why the Brummies are struggling to draw in the fans, I'd say. Who are the fans supposed to "latch onto" and support? Their "own" rider who struggles to pick up points or someone else's riders who are coming to the team's rescue? Not a good situation to be in. Not that you can do much about the guest for Shanes, but the "Sign Vissing and get a guest for the season" situation is one of the team managers own creation. And very lamentable it is too. Try explaining that one to a newcomer to the sport. And as for the guest for Auty, I can only guess that the guest rider is the easy option compared to signing a new rider and re-declaring the team. How long has it been now? It's almost like the Brummies are too comfortable fielding guest riders that they become an integral part of team planning. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's what the fans want. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,988 Posted July 20, 2022 One of those meetings where the scoreline doesn't tell the whole story. Some decent racing , Dillon Ruml in heat 6 was worth the admission on its own. Fairplay also to Jamie Courtney and his team, hottest day on record and no clouds of dust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noticeably lower, whether it was the heat, the possibility of thunderstorms washing out the meeting, the perceived standard of the opposition, a lack of interest in the Jubilee Trophy or two meetings in two days I don't know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would say that the heat was a factor however Oxford united were also playing last night and many supporters also attend the football i know a lot of people undecided over which they would attend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephenMiller 76 Posted July 20, 2022 What happened to Sedgmen ? 14 points match winner on his debut for us at Oxford earlier in the season, but only 4 last night ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
