From the club website :- BIRMINGHAM return to Perry Barr on Wednesday (July 12, 7.30) - and they’re looking to make it back-to-back home wins when they take on Glasgow. The Curtis Sport Brummies beat Berwick last time out in the second city as they triumphed in front of their home supporters for the first time this year. It was a huge result which saw them leapfrog from the bottom of the table up into the play-off places on a much-needed morale boosting night for all involved. Team Manager Stewart Dickson has made two further changes to his side since that result though. Stefan Nielsen returns to the side following a period on the sidelines with a broken bone in his foot while 2014 team member Paul Starke returns to the Club for a second stint. Those changes also allow the in-form Alfie Bowtell to drop to reserve and Dickson reckons that, along with a good turnout from the Brummies’ faithful, could play a big part in the outcome against the Scottish Tigers. “Alfie has been riding really well and to have the option of using him up to seven times, should I need to, is a big bonus for sure,” Dickson said. “That was an added plus that came from the changes we decided to make and I think it gives the team a real balance throughout now also. “I’ve read comments about how some people have been staying away from Perry Barr because of how understrength they felt the team was - well let me put it like this, I expect to see those people back in the stadium on Wednesday supporting Birmingham Speedway. “Fair play to Nigel (Tolley - CEO) because he’s put his money where his mouth is, he’s allowed me to make the changes I felt would make us a much more competitive team and with the way the two teams are lining up, I think we’re in for a cracker against Glasgow. “Again, I’m under no illusions of how tough this will be because for me, they’re one of the top teams in the Championship - they haven’t lost a league fixture yet so that tells you plenty. “But we’ve strengthened up even more since that home win over Berwick and I want the Birmingham riders to go out there and meet the challenge head on.” The visitors include former Brummies Chris Harris and Claus Vissing while Great Britain’s Speedway of Nations Gold medalist Tom Brennan is their club captain. It’s FREE admission for all children aged 11 and under at Perry Barr in 2023 while Juniors aged 12-16 will be admitted for just £3. Season Tickets are valid for the fixture as are Advanced Five tickets. Tickets can be pre-booked in advance via: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/events/landing/43598?eid=43598& Supporters unable to attend can also stream the fixture via ‘Brummies TV’. It costs £11.99 per meeting and supporters can register now via: https://www.brummies.tv CURTIS SPORT BIRMINGHAM BRUMMIES: Nick Morris, Stefan Nielsen, Troy Batchelor, Paul Starke, Justin Sedgmen, Sam Hagon, Alfie Bowtell. GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Marcin Nowak, Tom Brennan, Claus Vissing, Benjamin Basso, Lee Complin, Ace Pijper. - 
	Given Jack's form I think that would be a big backwards step

You really should post this in the Brummies 2023 thread instead of starting another one.- 1 reply

	Can't see anything but another heavy defeat here unfortunately... Masters, Nicholls and Kerr are all usually excellent around Perry Barr and on our current form we'll struggle to take points off any of those three
 - 
	Hans Nielsen surely must be up there with the best in the 80's / 90's ? He was usually so sharp away from the gate
 - 
	Starke usually rides Perry Barr very well, so probably would be if his average fitted ?
 - 
	No mention of this on the club website, what's happened ?

	Dan Thompson signed as injury cover for Nielsen :- BIRMINGHAM have signed talented teen Dan Thompson as a 28-day injury replacement for Stefan Nielsen. The 19-year-old joins twin brother Joe in the Curtis Sport Brummies’ line-up – who was also snapped up by the Club earlier this month. Nielsen crashed in the recent win at Plymouth and suffered a broken foot. He visited a fracture clinic on Thursday and was told his foot is showing small signs of healing and that no surgery will be required. However, he is facing, approximately, at least another month on the sidelines, forcing Brummies bosses to make their move. Former British Youth Champion Dan Thompson is the rider they have turned to – and team manager Laurence Rogers is backing him to make an impact. “Dan is really, really unfortunate not to have started the season with a team spot in the Championship,” he said. “It’s only the good old Speedway numbers game that forced him out of teams plans I would say due to the fantastic year he had with Leicester in 2022. “He’s come such a long way over the past couple of seasons and this is a big opportunity for him. “It’s a chance for him to come in, hit the ground running and remind everyone just how good he can be at this level - hopefully he can give us a nice little headache! “Stef is doing okay and the news he got from the fracture clinic on Thursday was probably the best he could have hoped for under the circumstances. “We had to sign an injury replacement to cover him in the meantime and we, of course, wish Stef a speedy recovery.”

				Birmingham v Redcar bsn Wednesday
StephenMiller replied to Petecc's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
He already did that last week - 
	Much as it pains me to say it, barring a miraculous upturn in attendances I can't see Birmingham carrying on after this year either.
