Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 27, 2023 Pirates final home league meeting of the season before the playoffs. Hopefully Brum will turn up with a decent guest and give it a go. Three points guaranteed so it’s all down to Edinburgh away and Oxford at Glasgow to see who will finish top of the pile and take the pick of the teams in the top six. Current forecast is for a dry day with no rain about. Decent crowd expected. Can Birmingham pull off a big shock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 27, 2023 Well he rode the semi but how much was adrenaline is anyone’s guess. Fingers crossed it’s nothing bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted August 27, 2023 I think he is meant to be riding at BV for Leicester tomorrow, so see if he rides in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Wednesday is in doubt then I guess the guest would be Danny (assuming recovered from the Wright missile), Rory or Josh?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 385 Posted August 28, 2023 Surely any half decent HL as a guest will be enough for you to beat the Brummies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lawson didn't try and drop his average we might have been able to have Masters But I guess Oxford are riding anyway (haven't checked). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, Poole v Brummies is the only meeting on Wednesday. A bit dodgy using anyone from Oxford or Glasgow whilst top spot is still up for grabs, especially as some clubs feel its imperative they finish top?! My choice would be Pickering as it would be in his (Edinburgh's) interest for Brummies to be well beaten!! Edited August 28, 2023 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it depends how much we want to finish top and if we don't would we rather Edinburgh or Brum were in Oxford's group?

Poole are capable of beating any of the other 5 teams on aggreagte - yes even Oxford as we won't lose there by as many as before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edinburgh racing at Plymouth on Tuesday, so quite handy for getting to Poole for Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
