GiveusaB Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 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 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armadale Stadium is easy to find once you realise it’s 25 mile from Edinburgh.!!! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 So how bad did it rain at Birmingham tonight to get the U21 meeting cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A completely justified decision. Started bang on 7.30, no parade, clearly determined to get it run. But too much spray hampered visibility. Winning times of 66 seconds [season fastest 57]. If it had been the 'big boys' probably wouldn't even have started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression from the announcer it only went ahead as the kids just wanted to race. They gave it a good stab as well, unfortunately the constant drizzle and rain finished it off. No tannoy on bend one though, first time I've stood there and you can't hear anything. Edited June 29, 2023 by Deano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lads were not given the option prior to heat one it was photo and get on with it . Two minutes came on and away they went. Personally think it was the wrong decision as the rain was constant the meeting was never going to finish especially on a 20 heat format where riders have back to back races at heat 4 8 12 and 16 . After heat 4 some wanted to continue others didn't but personally think it was right to stop. Think the sport dodged a bad press bullet yesterday if one rider got hurt riding an unfit track the neigh sayers would be having a field day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth giving Max Clegg a shot, likely to score better at reserve, especially now he has NL racing. Either that or you're looking at giving Jake Turner a go?

If Max Clegg is signed, Joe Thompson could be forgiven for thinking, "You couldn't make this up". Joe was released by Scunthorpe (against their own wishes, if we believe the reports ) in a move that brought Max Clegg into the team. Max was then subsequently released, rather quickly, to bring Drew Kemp into the side. Now you're saying that he's a possible replacement for Joe again. Don't worry Joe. That's racing. Yeh, right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time the young kids got protection from being dropped all the time, then bringing in older journey men who have not made the grade all these seasons!! How about having a rising star at No 7 all year, and a under 24 brit at 6, and another under 24 brit in the team, bit similar to what Poland do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

*JJ Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 If they were to replace Dan, it would be to fit in a rider (who?) with a higher average. But then they would have to replace Joe with a lower average: but they already have one 2-point rider (Sam Hagon), which wouldn't work. Dan at least deserves a good run in the team.

Fozzie4388 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 I might be wrong but didnt Dan only join on a 28 day contract originally so would be free to sign for someone else when that 28 days is up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
