What's his average?

Now teams are getting put in place it really makes you wonder who Birmingham are signing. If the rumoured teams are true then there isn't one heat leader I can think of who is signing. Lots of 4/5 point riders avaliable. Worrall, Sedgmen, S Lambert, Rory S, Kemp, Vuolas, Rew etc. They have to surely convince some foreign guys to come over. They have no choice really .

Still no Jubilee final. Gutted.

Rumour has it Cook is signing for Berwick, makes the Cook to Leicester rumour even more convincing with Stewart managing both sides

The rumours mill suggests just one or two changes. New number 6 and Howarth for Lawson

As a Lions fan can I say how jealous I am of this side? If Ipswich don't have any serious injuries and don't win the league then I'm calling them 'spursy'

Your right. We had a great season and probably over achieved slightly. We can moan all we want about how we would build the team but we always seem to perform well with Stewart in charge

Controversial opinion here but I wouldn't have even had them running the last few years. Surely the money Tolley has lost could have been saved up to focus on bringing back the club in a more safe financial state. Workington managed to build a track out of nothing and the Tolley should have done something similar even if that meant re naming the club or even moving them out of the city. People will disagree with this point but I'd rather see the brummies not run for a number of years if that meant they could be force later down the line.

I expect Douglas at the Lions but I could be wrong

Kolodziej, Jepsen Jensen, Nilsson, Huckebeck, Hampel, Wornya, Kowalski, Zengota, R Jensen, Cierniak, M Hansen, Drabik, Wozniak, Buczkowski, Chugonoz, Loktayezv, Lyager, Bjerre, Thorsell etc. There's plenty more you can add to that list . Some would come on assessed 5,6,7 assessed averages. I doubt many of them would come to Birmingham. I imagine alot of riders wanting to try Britian would fancy a club with a good track record or riders that fancy improving there ability on technical tracks. Birmingham are a real mystery next season on who they bring in. Nobody knows

I agree, the only route I can see them going is like King's Lynn team set up. Lots of 6pt riders because of the lack of GP riders wanting to ride in Britain. There's plenty of 6pt riders out there abroad but they could easily turn out like Pawlicki or Milik

If brennan and Doyle sign which I expect to then what a great side

There self employed so I don't blame them wanting to ride somewhere else to more earn money etc.

Im pretty convinced from what TTT posted a while back about the team being Fricke, Howarth, Masters, Becker, Douglas and someone like Cookie at 6. Just cannot see Dickson going for a big hitter at 5. I still think the team is good though. Just doesn't have the balance and excitement I was hoping for. Atleast it's a side full of riders that we can rely on to turn up week in week out and not do a runner to Poland.

Just watched the video on the brummies FB page with Chris Adams. He said a few new faces will be at Birmingham next season but got a no from every GP rider basically. Any guesses on who they are signing?

More rumours suggest Masters and Douglas are staying at Leicester its highly likely they are true. I imagine Tolleys team will be just as bad as last seasons because of them announcing they are struggling financially.

There was quite good Poole stand with some very very old racing jackets. It was a decent show to be honest

Spoke with Tolley at the speedway show a few hours ago. Didn't give much away but said 3 riders are signed and two others waiting for approval.

Was at the speeday show today. Lots of lions fans there and was great to speak to some riders and fans. Massive shame Leicester weren't there considering there was Oxford, Poole, Workington among others representing the club.

I agree, I heard every rider from last season wanted to return so I'm guessing Stewart thought let's just stick to what we know works here and see if we can make the play offs again. It's not weaker or stronger than last season. Stronger at reserve but weaker with Lawson moving on for Howarth. If Cook can get firing then Howarth is a decent reserve. Stewart has worked with Howarth before and Cookie so it makes sense.

It's random I don't know all thr averages

Heard he's staying at Leicester

Sheffield - Woffy, Rowe, C Holder, Picko, J Holder, Gilkes, Flint Aces - Kurtz, Blodorn , Lidsey, ? , Bewley, Tate? , Mulford Ipswich - Doyle, Brennan, Ellis, Rew, Emil, Thompson, Jenkins Lions - Fricke, Howarth, Masters, Becker, Douglas, C Cook, Hagon Oxford - Tungate, Riss, Wright, ? , Janowski, ?, Kileen Kings Lynn - Lawson, B Cook, Kvech, Klindt, Iversen, Harris, Boughon Birmingham - King, Z Cook, Worrall, Lampart, ? , ? Edwards Just based on rumours and guess work.

With some riders being snapped up by other clubs. I'm assuming Brennan is one of them. Who do Birmingham sign? All the rumours point towards the Brummies signing riders like, King, Z Cook, Lampart, Worrall etc. God knows what team there putting together

It's still a good side but doesn't offer any real excitement like the teams belle vue, Ipswich etc put together
