James Pearson is still only 16years old. He needs as many rides as he can get. I have criticised LR may times in the past about some of his decisions, but i am with him on this one giving JP his 4 races. If the match was in danger of a home defeat it would have been different. Brummies won

I witnessed his dad getting hit by someone in the pits but I suppose the Newcastle promotion and fans don’t want to talk about that part. Winditin Winditon

anyway nice to see the brummies get there season up and running with a decent win

Maybe tracks that can’t get their floodlights to work should also just be training tracks

These 'works' seem to have come at a very convenient time. Reminds me of a Cradley v Wolves match that was called off due to a 'waterlogged track' . One of my mates lived in Dudley and we thought might as well go for a drink as we were going to be out anyway. Passed by the track to have a look, dry as a bone. The fact that Hancock and Hamill had missed their flights back to the UK was a pure coincidence.

Well done to all for achieving first home win this season. Sorry,I can't make the 140 mile round trip to support the team whilst there are folk who think loyal supporters of speedway(and have been for many years) are classed as 'keyboard warriors'. Who gives a flying from posts on Brummies Speedway Forum whos birthday it is or whos grass has been cut during the off season and if anyone has a day off work to take a rider to an airport No disrespect to those who have taken on the challenge to put the Brummies on track for 2022.Those folk who have put their money where their mouths are deserve our ultimate respect

Wouldn’t have moved King from 5 either personally. Once Riss has been moved to 2 he probably thought Barker and Batchelor as a pair at 3 and 4 looked a bit iffy so moved King in there. I prefer keeping things simple, Barker at 2, Riss and Batchelor 3 and 4 and King at 5. Although certainly an argument for Riss at 5 on current form. Only one man’s opinion matters though at the end of the day. Perhaps Hawkins is far more of a tactical genius than any of us gave him credit for

Epic fail. Gladiators were Roman, not Greek. Next you'll be telling me sauerkraut is British, the French love scones with jam and cream, and paella is a traditional Russian dish. After all they are all European, basically the same people,.

Ok. Thanks. I thought I might have missed something!

You're very well informed. Very few people know about Netherton International.The restaurant there does a roaring trade in faggots & peas, pork scratchings and orange chips !!!

Good post personally thought James was in the mix all night and think the experience of been in good positions before losing out can only benefit him. Think the criticism of Laurence is wrong as he was proven right on this occasion.

You must have missed Leon Flint getting himself involved as usual. Strutting around the pits thinking he's a big time Charlie with a long woman's coat on.

I was waiting for a post about giving Pearson 4 rides and his progression ? WHY ??? is Pearson's development more important than the Clubs success ? Ok, if you want him to have 4 rides....win the match, make sure that the opposition can't get a bonus point and put Pearson in Heat 15 (unless you have to put one of your top scorers in that Heat? I'm not sure of the rules as they change so often....)

No Steve, you are wrong, Jessup would have used chewing gum rather than Araldite!!

Hi. I was there on Sunday and I think you will find that it was a member of the Berwick promotion who told the Newcastle supporters to go forth and multiply and nothing to do with Rob

Not riding a track because it’s dangerous is fair enough but not as good an excuse as the Newcastle junior rider on Saturday who ( allegedly) didn’t ride the Berwick track because it was too big for him

Don’t know about the heated Pit incident,but it’s far from petty not letting young juniors go out on a track that Senior riders considers unfit for racing.

Was quite tame compared to the Davie Fairbairn days

As I see it a riders job is to win races or at the very least to beat his opposite number, a managers job is to make sure his team wins then to make sure the opposition takes no league points, surely thats what the Sport is all about it is after all a competitive Sport if not then there is no point in competing, instead we should just play tiddly winks.

Let's hope so... The atmospheric conditions prevailing in the UK don't always appear as conducive to the healing process, (as other countries conditions seem to), when it comes to illness and injury...

Last night Morley took a extra reserve ride in Ht14 meaning the other reserve only got 3 rides. We had already done enough to win the match and looks hard on Edwards, but if we dropped a 4-2 in that race and a 5-1 in the last which was possible Poole would have snatched a vital bonus point. Correct decision by the manager who is judged on results, not sure if Atkins would have seen it that way if he had been involved.

Plymouth is Ben’s style of track though!

It happened a good few years ago when Suzuki wanted to leave, DORNA talked them into doing a year with one bike, the rider was Alvaro Bautista. I would love to see Aprilia have another two bike team. Plenty of riders who can fill the places. In Moto2 Canet seems as if he would do well on a MotoGP bike. Possibly Jake Dixon, if he would just not try as hard and stay on the bike.

You really are a clueless c### aren't you As explained - we had an issue with our streaming provider, aswell as the other sports clubs they cover, had issues too on Friday - and this should have been rectified by now. Now keep yourself to the Plymouth threads or are you that embarrassed on having the worst track in the country you have to slag ours of

Superb presentation, tons of overtaking, what more can you want? Superb commentary in very difficult circumstances. Nothing to moan about here.
