heathen52 384 Posted May 14, 2023 I take it that the guest facility for James Wright will be reduced by 25% for the matches this week which means a guest with an average of a fraction over 4.00 or can they use rr ?, away at Plymouth is never easy but the home fixture against Edinburgh on wednesday should give the Brummies a good chance of gaining their first points of the season, win that and they can honestly say their season is up and running, lose it then I fear the worst.

Probably RR, as all of the team except Morris can take his rides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s Definitely a bottom of the table clash on Wed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the 25% reduction apply to rr eligibility too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted May 15, 2023 If Wright makes an appearance on Wednesday, but finds that he can't continue, does the Guest facility revert back to 100% average for the rest of season, or is the 28 day situation a rolling rule? Reading between the lines, I can't see Wright coming back strong and making an impact.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree R/R will be the best option in the current circumstance, but we shouldn't have got in to this position in the first place! We could have signed another rider Kemp/Thompson (D) and given Wright more time to heal ? Just have to wait and see, but as Heathen 52 points out, if we get another drubbing, then it's going to hit attendance levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted May 15, 2023 Even if RR is available (and it sounds like it isn't) surely it should be RR at 75% of Wrights average so only Alfie and the reserves could take the rides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same situation as Wolves. Wright hasn't ridden this season, so Birmingham only get a facility for a maximum of 28 days, and that has now expired. They're not entitled to a facility anymore. AFAIK Wright is riding on Wednesday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless Wright comes back 100% fit from the off.... then we're in trouble! I'm guessing that Edinburgh will use Harris as a guest ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
