The only way I can see B'ham speedway continuing/surviving, is if we amalgamated with Cov/Cradley and formed a Midlands Team!

I think the meetings these days are 'rushed' through....there's obviously good/not so good points about that? Not sure whether this affects our manager's inability to make beneficial tactical changes? (not enough time to 'consider' a change etc...) But my general opinion, is that there's little, or no atmosphere in between races! It needs a complete over-haul....announcers with charisma....etc etc etc.... From a personal perspective, I'm happy with 'rushed' through meetings simply because I'm only there for the 'racing'...but I can easily see why youngsters/new fans would be bored 'sh#tless'!

Thank you...but my question was...why couldn't we operate R/R for Wright? and the reason is: he hasn't ridden for us yet.

He's hit and miss at PB...waste of space if he doesn't gate! Has to be Harris all day long for me....may be 'Basso'?

Difficult to gauge atm, because the meetings that we've had, its been freezing, so a fair few have watched from indoors and its hard to see how many? But, what I have seen, is that there's been hardly anyone outside (200/300?) and only a handful of away supporters.

We're weaker than ever this season!

I think so far as a newbie attending ? what a speedway meeting seriously lacks...is presentation! With so few in attendance, the atmosphere is already dull compared to most sports! I always look at how the darts has changed with time and how successful that is now! (mind you, take away 'the alcohol' and I think darts would fall on its head!)

Unless Wright comes back 100% fit from the off.... then we're in trouble! I'm guessing that Edinburgh will use Harris as a guest ?

Yes...he must be...we're already a weak side...surely we can't risk being any weaker!

Why? Not sure what you mean by R/R is not available ? Is that because Wright hasn't taken part in any meetings?

I agree R/R will be the best option in the current circumstance, but we shouldn't have got in to this position in the first place! We could have signed another rider Kemp/Thompson (D) and given Wright more time to heal ? Just have to wait and see, but as Heathen 52 points out, if we get another drubbing, then it's going to hit attendance levels.

If Wright makes an appearance on Wednesday, but finds that he can't continue, does the Guest facility revert back to 100% average for the rest of season, or is the 28 day situation a rolling rule? Reading between the lines, I can't see Wright coming back strong and making an impact....

I haven't dreamt that one! But I think it's a great idea!

So I wasn't dreaming it after all

According to Rogers on the Brum forum, Wright will make a decision next week if he's returning ??? (he also said he was hopeful of Wright returning...) Are we going through smoke and mirrors again?

Made a great start though....he always was a fast trapper! But you're right, he looked uncomfortable...shame...wasted talent!

Looked like Newman got that on the line ?

It hasn't been....please see previous dialogue with 'Hobbit' ! It would however be a 'common sense' move/signing.....(IMO)

We both know that the manager hasn't got the balls to do anything anyway.

I wouldnt call it wishful thinking, as I dont think J.T would improve us in anyway....but I'd much rather pay to watch him give it his all, over a rider that's passed his best and gives up after 2 laps!

I may have got caught up in opinions over facts? that's what happens when you scan the posts etc....

I thought that this post was a 'fact' !? Silly me for thinking the manager was making a wise move for once!

I can't see the manager dumping Nielsen, so it would be just the one place available (for Wright) Not sure what average is left, but as soon as new averages come out, Morris's will drop and we'll have more scope?
