I honestly cant see it, Musielak and Rew yes but I expect others to drop. Like we saw with Janowski it can take a rider a long time to settle back in over here with our tracks being completely different. Nilsson hasn't rode over here for 6/7 Years, Thorssell for at least 5 years, Zagar's in his 40's now and has no improvement left in him.

Technik Posted November 23, 2024 Report Share Posted November 23, 2024 I hope Birmingham have a lot of money as Mr Zagar will take most of it. I don't think he rode anywhere last season & I can't see him producing the form he showed at Belle Vue again. If he stays past May i'll be suprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted November 23, 2024 Report Share Posted November 23, 2024 11 hours ago, Teromaafan said: According to my memory and subsequent research, Zagar only did two meetings at Leicester. Scored 9+1 from five rides and then 1 from four rides (failed to finish in 3 races). Pretty sure that he made his dislike for the track well known and was absent from the Aces line up on their later visits. To say you are easily pleased would appear to be a massive understatement! Not quite. I was there last time he rode & he obviously wasn’t interested. I was being heavily sarcastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted November 23, 2024 Report Share Posted November 23, 2024 Matej is a class act. I hope he fires on all cylinders for Birmingham. They need a good side that will bring in the crowds regularly and in good volume Best of luck to Birmingham 2025 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted November 23, 2024 Report Share Posted November 23, 2024 7 hours ago, M.D said: I will tell you a story about Zagar when he was the Eastbourne number 1. Got a call from Adam Shields on a Thursday to say we had a guest booking at Eastbourne in place of Zagar on the Saturday. We turned up and was setting up when Mark Seabright, MZ's mechanic at the time and now Jason Doyles turned up with all Zagar's kit ready to race. Zagar didn't even give Mark the courtesy of telling him he wasn't riding on the Saturday even though we knew on the Thursday, Mark never worked for him again and I have had little respect for him after that.. He was the only No1 that was never really liked by the Eastbourne fans( me included). When you think Bjarne Pedersen won us over with his likeability and professionalism fairly quickly, having been the arch enemy captain for all those years at rivals Poole. We weren't hard to win over, but Zagar always seemed to have an 'I'm better than here' attitude to the fans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted November 24, 2024 Report Share Posted November 24, 2024 http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3589 An increase of £1 which will more than likely be standard across the board at a minimum, but the season ticket prices frozen so that makes them even better value than this year. It’s 12 league meetings plus, the first knockout cup fixture. That’s a saving of £52 if you plan on attending every meeting. Two free meetings, and £4 off a 3rd meeting. Fair play that’s more than decent. I also like the extras they’ve added also, one VIP experience and two complimentary tickets to be passed on to “non speedway fans”. Not sure how they’ll police that, but it all adds up to a very good deal 👏🏻 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted November 25, 2024 Report Share Posted November 25, 2024 Must rank as one of the worst signings since KK was tempted back last year to be as expected let go of within weeks. Zagar is good at the NSS but not interested anywhere else. Can see him dropping to reserve within a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute bollocks Zagar despite being excellent at the NSS once dialled into Perry Bar will score his average at least He's also had good scores and looked a class act at many different tracks when he is in the mood If Adams can get him motivated they have a good rider on their hands for the Premier, better than Pawlicki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK could score maximums at home, so much be considered a better signing than Milik or Pawlicki were. If Zagar drops to reserve, which would take longer than a month with rolling / assessed averages, then Brummies will have a title challenging team.

Had a blinder in the play off semi and did his job in the final. There was only really wolves he couldn’t be bothered with and who can blame him. Not an issue currently, unfortunately. Top performer given the right canvas and worth a couple of points in the pits with his motivational skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
