Birmingham Brummies 2020
Col replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As stated I was taking the figures from the latest GSA's on the BSPA site, that seemed more upto date (1/10) than the averages section (06/09). -

I'm not sure who would infuriate me more on my visits to Perry Barr. Harris for missing the gate or Paco (if resigned) for not moving off the curb. -
He had a Witch on his chest, that makes it his home track regardless of how often he has ridden there. More importantly he is not facing any riders who would consider themselves Foxhall their home track.

Iversen to Smederna according to Facebook. -
He was leading both heats when they were stopped and rerun. I'd consider that unlucky, that said for a rider of his calibre he should be scoring more at home.
-
Not sure they could have done much worse. NKI going through the tapes in heat 1 at Swindon was the end of any potential (however unlikely) Ipswich fight back however unlucky he was in the first leg.

Why would he do that?

Harris's average is 8.65 according to GSA Issue 33 1.10.19 on BSPA site. The only riders with higher averages are Masters (9.14), Cook (10.49), Wright (9.38), E Riss (8.84), King (8.95) & Schlein (8.69). Would think Erik Riss a great signing fro the Brummies, he was untouchable on his one visit to Perry Barr last year, but with Garrity already signed that team might be top heavy. With Shanes & Morris it adds up to 35.75. I do think that the rules insisting that the rider with the highest average has to be at #1, I'd always rather than the best rider in a team at #5 as they have 3 rides with a reserve. -
FFS. I'd started enjoying Championship Speedway. Now I've got to put up with that bunch of glory hunting southern clueless £&#+ers invading every thread again. I really hope Poole stay in a different division to Birmingham. No, I don't enjoy watching weekly Speedway at Monmore, even if Wolves are in a different division to Poole & their heard of annoying keyboard warriors, don't feel the need to invade every forum thread.

Lebedevs seems to be indicating via Instagram that he has signed for Eskilstuna. -
GB v Denmark - King's Lynn, Wednesday October 23rd 7.30
Col replied to The Cheese's topic in International World of Speedway
Would anyone really care? I'd not bother. It us meaningless. If Denmark cared Jepsen-Jensen & Michelson would be there. If GB cared Lambert would. -

I'd hope Garrity is 3rd in the start of season Brummie averages, riding at #4. Not a #5. Wouldn't touch either Dane who tootled around Perry Barr in Red & Yellow last year. Tobias Thomsen is not young, Nick Agertoft is If rumours are to be believed could Brummies field. 1. Aarnio or Covatti . 2. Morris. 3. Shanes. 4. Garrity. 5. Harris. 6. Castagna. 7. Hume. Does a teams #1 have to be the rider with the highest average? It takes away the craft of a team manager imposing such rules IMO. -
Artem Laguta will run him close with a few more seasons.

Thanks, I've been struggling to navigate the new Svemo site (admittedly haven't tried often or hard). Good to know the old one is available on old.svemo.se -

If the team consists of Harris, Garrity & Shanes, they'll need a few gaters. -

I guess HGould is hinting at Chris Harris? -
GB v Denmark - King's Lynn, Wednesday October 23rd 7.30
Col replied to The Cheese's topic in International World of Speedway
I like this: "The Denmark septet will be led by team manager Hans Nielsen, who will be bringing at least three riders in his side that don’t regularly race in Britain. The full line-up is expected to be confirmed in the coming days." Whetting the appetites with the lure of Jepsen-Jensen, Michelsen & Madsen but more likely 3 riders who are of a standard that means they can't hold down a spot in the Championship. -
I am aware, hence the smiley faces.

Indeed, confirmed by the Brummies website. A little surprised by that would have thought of the heat leader trio that ended the year Ellis & Aarnio would have been more certain to return. -

The Brummies were closing in on a competitive team towards the end of the season that could at least hold its own at home, until the Shanes injury then it all went sideways. His scores from reserve were impossible to replace. -
Which 3 riders would you have in team for 2020.

My crude maths gets me to 33. I can have Doyle! -

I don't have a team & would have to look at averages. Who is on a "bargain". Would like to see Drew Kemp given a chance. 2? Considering his playoff exploits Musielak on 6.2ish cannot be ignored. Becker has been the most entertaining rider I've seen on TV this year, so him. Only going to go in one direction from 5.3 Lambert on 7.8, Wright on 6.7, Nicholls on 5.3. What do I have left?
