  1. He’s been absolutely rubbish since we signed him. Lacking any sort of pace or, form. Dreadful signing so far.
  2. Didn’t Steve Boxall receive a two year ban for refusing to take a random drugs/ alcohol test?
  3. Not really….. we will be able to use guests for the rest of the season snd considering how inconsistent Morris had been this season, it may actually strengthen us as daft as that sounds. farcical yes but, sadly true.
  4. I watched smith st Kent recently. I was really shocked at how poor smith was. He has really, really gone backwards big time. He had two stupid crashed which were embarrassing to witness. there’s no way I would give smith a team spot. Sad as he showed so much potential as s youngster. At Kent, he looked like a raw novice just starting out in the sport, his body language on the bike was dreadful and he looked devoid of any confidence. Absolutely not the answer
  5. He’s got a broken lower leg / ankle which needed an operation so I’d say six to eight weeks minimum
  6. He is. Much as I loathed him as a team manager, no one, even me, can deny the vast amount of very good work he does in all other areas. Laurence was not only instrumental in getting the current consortium together, thus ensuring we are still in existence but, is a key cog in helping the directors keep the ship afloat. having said that, my views on him as a team manager, are well documented.. the phrase I’ve often used, is .. “he’s tactically an inept Buffon”. he’s in the background now. Let’s hope he stays there
  7. Gary May is one of the best. Would have gladly had him at Birmingham. glad to say, we have put our house in order.,,,, rogers is no longer team manager.
  8. 1; 59.12 2: 61.16 3: 59.72 4: 59.60 5: 59.03 6; 58.90 7: 59.19 8: 60.84 9: 60.13 10: 60.40 11: 60.09 12: 61.13 13: 60.37 14: 61.22 15: 60.62
  9. I went to Kent yesterday. I’ve never seen such sn unusual arrangement with different start snd finish lines. with the refs box in line with the start line, how does he judge close finishes like the one you referred to from yesterday? I was sat mid way between the start snd finish line snd I had absolutely no idea who had won that race so how on earth did the ref call it from even further back!
  10. Correct. Just purely numbers, James leaving not Joe
  11. Not seen those two in the flesh yet this season so hard to judge but up to now, joe has been dreadful since signing snd young hagon isn’t there to score points, he’s there to free up the points to bring in Batchelor. I hope we stick with young hagon for the rest if the season now, even if he doesn’t trouble the scorers. Ablitt barely scored all season last year but he’s really coming on snd starting to blossom now. Let’s hope hagon gets the same patience. James. Pearson had been give more time snd opportunity st Birmingham then he would have had anywhere else. Yes, he has improved a bit this season but has not at any time achieved his assessed four point average snd did not look like doing so. 24 races this year. No heat wins, four seconds snd the rest, minor placings I snd most other Brummies fans really like James snd wanted to see him do well but, he ‘s the sacrificial lamb needed , in order to be able to bring in a heat leader. just emphasises the lack of the third heat leader in the original team at the start of the season
  12. Weakest reserve pairing in the league now. Joe Thompson has been very poor since signing., on current form, the only point they will score will be in heat two !! joe needs to rapidly improve or he will be out when the new averages come out on the 23rd. Same goes for Dan or he won’t be far behind Joe out of the door
  13. First thing we need to go now, is change the riding order : 1: Morris 2: Dan Thompson 3: Sedgemen 4: Bowtell 5: Batchelor 6: Hagon 7: Joe Thompson
  14. Gutted just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse ….
  15. I hope not. I can’t stand mardy/ moody gits who regularly throw tantrums, throw their toys out of the pram and worst of all, stop trying and give up at the back when things aren’t going their way.
  16. Where is the information about Howarth leaving Plymouth coming from please ?
  17. I’d agree about Sam Hagon where have you seen it stated that Howarth has left Plymouth? howarth blotted his copybook at Brum last season when he refused to come out for heat 15, we conceded a 1-5 and lost by two points Not sure if the management have forgiven him yet let’s hope so
