Aries 440 Posted March 4 Home win for me. Although Birmingham look like they may struggle on paper, it’ll be interesting to see how a few of their new riders get on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,027 Posted March 5 Lack of home advantage could be a leveller, but Kerr at reserve can cover for any of the top 5 if needed. But still can't see past Oxford for a home win, hope Birmingham can reach 40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted March 5 Good to see some meeting threads again! Just over a week til tapes up so we’ve finally got there. Obviously expecting a home win, Oxford look very decent. But also hoping to see Birmingham at least competitive. Goes without saying but they need to have Pawlicki and Milik committed first and foremost, and in the points.

When you hear who Rogers has lined up to cover for Pawlicki, you’ll be looking to amend that!…… …. to 25 just hope the authorities step in and say guest facility granted to at least make it semi competitive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I say that is if they are not allowed a guest facility then they can use rr it still means they are going into the fixture without a No1 and relying on 2nd strings to score the bulk of there points.

Technik 491 Posted March 10 It's going to be a tough night for Birmingham. As I see it no facility is allowed for the absent Pawlicki, I don't know how they can possibly cover that for any length of time. But a healthy win for a home team in the season opener is never a bad thing for crowd figures moving forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What ? giving the paying public 'value' for money by paying to watch a sub standard-non competitive replacement? No wonder the sport is on it's a#se !
