Desparately need Morris to up his game away and Sedgemen to put 2/3 points on at home ? Pearson cannot drop below his 4pt assessed average so that loses you 0.62. Leaving only 8.66. Don't think you're looking for two 4 point riders. Don't think anyone available on 6.66. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said that moving to Monday or Friday next year were the options and very surprisingly didn't rule out going Premiership. Also said they'd have a new rider for next week. However he did think that they'd constructed a competitive team for the start of season but were beset with bad luck. And still thought they could make the playoffs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not discount wholesale changes but are the riders available to be able to do that?, Birmingham Speedway is already costing Nigel so what's a few more thousand to get a top top rider.

bloom89 496 Posted June 17, 2023 James Pearson has been dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 385 Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) 16 minutes ago, bloom89 said: James Pearson has been dropped. This gives the Brummies a tiny bit extra to utilise the 4 points average that James was on, Sam Hagon anyone ?, because I think to strengthen the top end they will need a 2 pointer Hagon for Pearson, they seem to be similar riders average wise in the NDL but Sam's Championship average is 2 as opposed to James 4 points which gives Brum more to play with average wise, bad luck on James but it seems the new manager is not messing around.
