bringbackHalifax

The whole team are struggling because they are signed as 2nd string and reserves, paid for that role and then expected to step up and compete with higher class higher paid riders.The poles and the Czech failed miserably on over inflated averages and the confidence of the other 4 is shot to pieces when they turn up at Brum..It’s piss poor from the top and that filters down.The other week they were at home to Ipswich with a team average 8 points less than Ipswich and everyone was saying poor Ipswich for having injured riders, but they had guests which still left them 6 points stronger on average.

Still think Starke, Pearson and possibly Ace are too weak on a home and away basis. Rose tinted specs for those who see James at Glasgow but away he is poor and that threatens the bonus points. Top four gone now, how about bringing over Slater Lightcap with a view to next year.

Watching Scunthorpe match and got to say looks like a rubbishhole. Shocking track and piss poor preparation.

He pulled over to not get on the rostrum.

Interesting description of Adam’s new injury to enable IRR. If connected to Mondays crash then no IRR would have been available.

Wonder if the riding order change was Tom not wanting no5. He has 2nd highest average at both Birmingham and Poole but does not go at 5 for either.

Best home team v worse at present away team.

Birmingham with no Freddie put up a better fight at Sheffield than Belle Vue, not good travellers.

Ht 14 at Sheffield featuring bottom two scorers from each side. Not seen this before. Just seen that joint bottom scorer been replaced by 3rd bottom scorer.

Not quite. If it is your van then you are responsible and in control so not out of your control would not count.

This is for Thurs night

Still got a team with no R/S in the 1 to 7. Nowhere in the rules does it say one can be utilised at no 8. On another note what’s the real story behind the hold up on Freddie’s visa that suddenly clears after Monday nights meeting.

I think they mean understrength, nearly ten points difference in team strengths including guests

Anders Rowe would fit for James Pearson.

And Cook and Worrall need to score well to keep their team place, the poles can’’t fail tomorrow and the management put out that team and then blame the riders.

Could say they (the Poles) won’t have a rubbish meeting, so lucky escape

Lindgren Worrall Pawlicki Sedgman Brennan Cook Flint

Can fit Fred in for Lampart and get Zach back to reserve. I think Pawlicki will improve and the team will be better balanced. Would let Sam go and run with Chris Adam’s as Team Manager.

If he took over the counter meds for toothache, what’s different to him and Kyle. Both about to race in a meeting whilst under the influence of a banned substance. If he took over the counter meds, why is his ban 2.5 times longer than Ritchie’s. Lets not even fetch up the Barker saga, which if someone fishes long enough under freedom of information, etc could highlight some more inconsistencies. if he took over the counter meds for toothache , hopefully the toothache will have gone by the time his ban is up, why have hair analysed before he can come back. Something fishy. Something stinks.

People keep talking of changes, but who realistically is there out there who wants to race. Maybe the cost cutting is due to the high cost of last season.

All riders have this week been sent a memo showing how to adjust the position of the transponder. It no longer sits on top of the h frame at the top of the forks. it has to face downwards. How the hell did we get to May, at least 2 wrong results, one at Sheffield and one at Glasgow, and not know they are fitted wrong. There is even a pouch behind the fork covers, which is further forward than the h frame, but the memo does not say you cannot use the pouch. With the knowledge of the inconsistent fitting and the resulting false readings , surely the video evidence which is absolute, should be used and the results amended of the two matches affected.

Anyone got the heat times from last night

Maybe the fact that 3 of the first 4 races were won from gate 4 and Oxford had it 3 of those

Good effort from both teams on a gaters track, hence first and lasts, Woffy had some speed, way faster than anyone else, but got away with not sitting still at tapes3 times. Poor ref. Not sure about Miliks lay down in run off ht, think he saw out of control Jack launch across track who only stayed on by Scottys ability to stay upright when others would have fallen. A big call for the ref if Scott had of gone down as would not have been all four back. If Pawlicki can get 10 points and Lampart and Worrall a couple more points each Brum will hold their own at home

His bikes and his gear all arrived in Birmingham yesterday, he will be here. Delivered by his Polish mechanics.
