It wont help if you keep going to Oxford on a Wednesday

I don't think it would have anything to do with Dan's efforts....I would assume that it's all about juggling averages etc.... Besides, Dan was only signed on a 28 day term.... The manager has been signed to improve team performances, not to develop riders. It's about time we had someone that shows a passion for the cause. That's why Poole are so successful!

looks like 2 new signings on the way ? Very refreshing to see what the new manager is doing to 'improve' the team!

Have they made some new signings then ?

Not sure exactly...but approx 7.5 I think ?

Clegg rides well at PB....but I'd go with Starke if he fits. I'd like to see Dan given a chance, but he's a Championship reserve at best, atm..... IMO! Not sure I can see J.T coming back in to the team....he doesn't quite have it....I think Hagon is a stronger prospect (more bottle...)

Not saying it's something I'd do/agree with, but just looking at options and if there's not a suitable replacement for J.T, then the manager would have no choice but to look at other avenues.

Or, could there be a double change, with both Thompsons being dropped?

Might be worth trying to coax Ashley Morris back ? (if the average fits?)

From B'ham forum...new averages from July 1st gives us 4.78 for a replacement for the injured J.T (out for 6 weeks and not likely to make much of an impact on return, based on previous performances...) Paul Starke on 4.44 ???

Agreed! ....I was just adding a touch of humour, but now you mention the other areas, I think we can also add Handsworth/Lozells etc etc etc...... proper rough!

I think they should leave the '10 mins walk to West Brom Town centre', out of the advertisement

Well that's a big improvement/compliment for 'us' (B'ham), if you only 'think' that it will be a home win coz Pickering/Cook are back ? I think, B'ham will run em close tonight!

P.s Going back to the 'topic'...Batch definitely moved in his first heat...was expecting a re-start and a warning! (not that it matters now)

I think both Thompson's places are at risk? Hagon is definitely going to improve given time....has a lot of bottle....but needs to make starts Can't believe Berwick didn't use Hook more last night?

Lets hope he pays admission like the rest of us !

Doesn't the machine examiner only inspect machinery once (before the meeting) ?

Might be better teams...... But after last weeks' 'shi#e'...the track doesn't appear to be better?

Ouch!

Mayor of Birmingham in attendance tonight! Would be great/fitting if 'we' could achieve a decent size crowd and create a passionate atmosphere, to show what it means to the City and the 'remaining/current' 'supporters/owners' of the Club. We might need 'his' support for any future continuation.....

I think your observation is spot on! He's got a lot of potential, but he would benefit from 'building' his physical strength!

Has to be one of the most evenly matched line-ups that I've seen at PB this season. Hoping Schlein hasn't got his gating gloves on!

Bringing back the 'old/regular' ones is a start!

1: Morris 2: Dan Thompson 3: Batchelor 4: Bowtell 5: Sedgemen 6: Hagon 7: Joe Thompson I think I'd go this route.

I'm not saying they're 'great' signings....but at least he's having a go ! I don't want it to be about 'further/constant' criticism of Rogers, but there's no way he'd of released 'Pearson'? but releasing him is the only way that we could bring in someone of Batchelor's ability!
