BIirmingham have three new faces in their team for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Stoke Potters at Perry Barr (7.45pm).

And once again the forward-thinking club are offering free admission to children aged 15 and under when accompanied by a paying adult.
The BRC Roofing Brummies are hoping to bounce back from their home defeat by Berwick last week with debuts for reserve duo Lee Herne and James Cockle and Polish tough-guy Tomasz Piszcz.

The changes, which saw the departure of James Birkinshaw, Lee Smart and Jack Hargreaves, haven't been universally welcome by fans but boss Graham Drury is urging everyone to back the new boys.

"I can understand the disappointment of some fans about the departure of certain riders, said Drury. "But I would urge everyone to welcome our new signings and encourage them to do well for Birmingham Speedway."

The Potters include highly rated youngster Ben Barker in their side and he will be one to watch around Perry Barr. He's impressed during several meetings with Coventry in the Elite League and is sure to put himself about.

Mark Burrows is also spectacular and in Jesper Kristiansen and Klaus Jacobsen Stoke have two riders rated highly by Danish national boss Jan Staechmann.

Lee Complin will return to the saddle on Saturday for Stoke and they're likely to use the ride r replacement facility for the trip to Perry Barr.
Meanwhile two of the released by Drury have agreed deals elsewhere. Birkinshaw is likely to return to Sheffield and Smart has joined Mildenhall.

BIRMINGHAM:
Jason Lyons, Jack Roberts, Tomasz Piszcz, Kyle Legault, Craig Watson, James Cockle, Jay Herne.

STOKE:
Lee Complin R/R, Mark Burrows, Ben Barker, Jesper Kristiansen, Andrew Moore, Charles Wright, Klaus Jacobsen.
