I could only find one The meeting at which Josh Auty was injured (home v Berwick) was abandoned after his crash. The result did not stand, so it wouldn't appear on his record.

I am aware of that - but I could only find one other home Birmingham meeting in which he rode in 2022 (which ended after heat 10, so Josh only had 3 rides). I was querying why he was being called “dreadful” on the back of such limited activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hobbit Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Can’t remember but it was enough to see that he looked like he was way out of his depth and was struggling badly so much so that he’d struggle even at reserve on that form so, as I said, I’m not at all surprised he hadn’t got a team place he came to one of our mid season meetings and was interviewed in the interval in which he said he was hoping to “ be back soon”. Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing For a variety of reasons, many not his fault but bad luck and fate, a massively unfulfilled talent. However he can walk relatively speaking in to retirement, and hopefully he won't come back and risk his long term well being.

The H Man Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Joe Thompson in for Ty Proctor with immediate effect. Hopefully James will be fit for the home match against Edinburgh, he is working very hard on his rehab. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathen52 Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 I take it that the guest facility for James Wright will be reduced by 25% for the matches this week which means a guest with an average of a fraction over 4.00 or can they use rr ?, away at Plymouth is never easy but the home fixture against Edinburgh on wednesday should give the Brummies a good chance of gaining their first points of the season, win that and they can honestly say their season is up and running, lose it then I fear the worst.

Probably RR, as all of the team except Morris can take his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 25% reduction apply to rr eligibility too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
