szkocjasid 3,055 Posted April 2 7 hours ago, GiveusaB said: Just a suggestion? may be a bit premature? but wouldn't it be wise to replace Lampart with Riss ? Surely Riss would hit the ground running being an ex Brummie...I'm certain he would've scored more than Lampart at Perry Barr....which could have been enough to win the first 2 home meetings? I would wait till Lampart gets an average, then if he hasn't improved, replace him with Riss, Laguta, Zmarzlik etc (wishful thinking). That way if they want to try him in future seasons, he'll be on a better average for team building. The team total will be well below the limit anyway, so Brummies don't need to keep him on a 6.00 average to make changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,939 Posted April 2 Laguta is feeling very rusty. Swedish clubs have blacklisted him. He is desperate to ride for Birmingham. He just needs to be given a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,046 Posted April 2 (edited) 7 hours ago, mikebv said: Well done... Get yourself down to the track and watch some of the best riders in the world, even if they are riding for the opposition... I certainly didn't see last night mentioned on any satellite or MSM outlets, with the result being commiserated or celebrated by maybe 4,000 at most from both teams... So just watch the racing, particularly at Brum, as I seem to remember they didn't exactly "pull up any trees"' in Div 2 too regularly, so, even if another "no success season", you get to watch Messrs Sayfutdinov, Doyle, Bewley, Holder et al.. Be a shame to lose another track due to fan indifference, particularly in a small sport where the team who finishes bottom won't be missing out on any major financial rewards nor face any relegation risk.. A track where the owner has put his hand so deep into his pocket, and wants to see the club move to its own site... Will hopefully get down to Brum when the Aces are in town... If you'd tuned into Sports Day on the BBC News channel at 6:30 yesterday you would have seen a report on the World Coal Carrying Championships being held earlier in the day... and no, sadly it was no April Fool Edited April 2 by iainb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon1983 557 Posted April 2 I think its way too early to look at changes especially if Pawlicki has not even rode yet Milik isn't a no.1, I'm sure lower down he may do better, i like the look of Lampart think he could come good Best to see the 1-7 for a few meetings first to see where potential other riders could slot in Riss would be a good addition but he won't be going anywhere yet, not until Ipswich can fit him in for Jenkins anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or they cannot attend due to following their own international coal carrying dreams and ambitions on the world coal carrying stage... Arthur Scargill must be turning in his grave..

The 3 5-1s in the first four races were down to getting out of the gate first and staying in front on a one line track. Maybe the fact that 3 of the first 4 races were won from gate 4 and Oxford had it 3 of those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
