Having a bike that can actually manage four laps wouldn't be a bad start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway fan 206 Posted March 29 Leon had a night to forget .. puncture before his first ride , two chain breaks on the line then a fall ..... all part of the joys of speedway ! Steve had paid 6 from 3 rides but then fell in the same spot that had caught several riders out inc Emil ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scotty will not be in the team after Monday. Pawlicki will be at one, milik will be at five. Rest unchanged on Monday, lampart at two, cook at three, Brennan at four Worrall at 5 cook should be back at reserve as from kings Lynn on thursday Edited March 30 by the hobbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand why Scott drops to reserve when he has the highest average, after following speedway for 55 years, the rules have finally beaten me.

Because in the latest set of averages, he is the lowest average of the top six!!! no idea what figures you are looking at. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/p24_issue_4.pdf you need to look at columb C ( highlighted in green), , effective from 1st April Edited March 30 by the hobbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholls was signed on his 2023 converted Champ average. Now he's ridden in the Prem, they are using his rolling ave, which mostly counts of his 2022 matches for Peterborough (where he struggled). Couldn't be simpler! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted March 30 Best chance Birmingham will have of getting a win. Just need to make sure Nicholls gets 6/7 rides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a master stroke and how to use him the best way & get their first home win !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted March 31 If I was Birmingham, I'd beg Nicholls to stay, even if it's only for another match or two till the TV schedule starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly a master stroke because if Scotty has seven rides it highlights the weakness in the team’s top five. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, it's a quirk of the averages that places Nicholls at reserve, normally a potential double figure scorer wouldn't be down there. The fact he's dropped down while riding superbly for the Brummies, should be a team managers dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
