Very refreshing to see what the new manager is doing to 'improve' the team! Could see Boughen replace Hagon when he turns 16. Dickson got him to sign for Leicester so would make sense imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really shocked at how poor smith was. He has really, really gone backwards big time. He had two stupid crashed which were embarrassing to witness. there’s no way I would give smith a team spot. Sad as he showed so much potential as s youngster. At Kent, he looked like a raw novice just starting out in the sport, his body language on the bike was dreadful and he looked devoid of any confidence. Absolutely not the answer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very keen for Brummies to get through this though and thrive. I think a new venue though with better viewing and more control for Promotion though is vital and land is not cheap and planning permissions very hard. I was only teasing mate....I totally agree about the venue/viewing etc.... Must be quite satisfying going to a meeting that has a good atmosphere (Oxford..)

Could Ashley Morris be returning, or may be Shanes ? Edited July 4, 2023 by GiveusaB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Brum the name ive heard thrown around will excite nobody (again) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 You have to give Nigel Tolley a lot of credit, I think he's realised that no matter what team he puts out or which manager he puts in charge, people in the local area just won't come out and support speedway sufficiently enough to make ends meet. But Tolley continues to persevere and do his very best against the odds. You have to take your hat off to him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The averages fit, the question is are they both fit and well and it would mean that one of either Bowtell, Starke or Nielsen would be at reserve for some part of the season.

GiveusaB Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 The luxury that I can see from this move, is that Bowtell can be used '7' times if needed (reserve)? Can only hope that Nielsen comes back with no ill effects? Starke/Nielsen are a far stronger pairing than D/J.Thompson, so it definitely strengthen's us. Very happy! Roll on next Wednesday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BrizHeathen means the opportunity to have either Bowtell, Nielsen or Starke at reserve for the remainder of the season, if they are all fit and well then whichever one is at reserve surely should score a good few points, rare opportunity to see Starkey having a shortish journey for his home meetings.
