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

The old saying........Doesn't matter wot size it is it's wot u do with it that counts!......kinda comes to mind. So whether a track is big or small it's the shape of it that determines the quality of racing. Went to Plymouth, the smallest track, on Tuesday for the very first time and I was well impressed with the breathtaking racing on show. It's nonsense to say the Premiership should only be for tracks (Daniel Smith) that allow the riders to be throttle jockeys coz that can also be boring if the track isn't shaped correctly. At both ends of the scale Plymouth & Belle Vue av got their tracks on the money

Not great, unless there was more than usual 'inside' ? Put it this way, there certainly wasn't an increase from the last meeting.(Berwick)

And have the floodlights been checked?

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.

Sorry JJ but I have to strongly disagree. You must have been the only Brummies fan not expecting to see Shanes replace Pearson in his last ride. Pearson had done nothing wrong but, lambert had already beaten him three times. Shane’s had easily won the reserves race against lambert snd was riding really well. Rogers has to be the most inept team manager we have ever had. Not only did he nearly cost us the points. ( not for the first time either), but he almost handed Scunthorpe a league point. I travelled to Plymouth last season snd Rogers cost us the league win there. Another case of not making the right changes at the right times !!! Yet again all the fans, including the Plymouth ones, were gobsmacked when hd didn’t take Morris out of heat 14, costing us a 5-1 and, the meeting He is totally inept as a team manager. Can’t fault the work Rogers does off the track but he has no idea about team tactics, pairings or rider changes during meetings .

It was a special engine for some reason ( we never found out why ) broke many track records over 2/3yrs

A perfect Bomber track... Horsepower not a major determinant, and just enough dirt outside on an otherwise slick track for him to exploit like so few can... Wolverhampton could do worse than see how Plymouth get their outside line working...

Suggestion: How about opening a twitter thread for the meeting so the commentators can answer questions or raise points of discussion. Works well for Dave Goddard when he does his Premier Sports commentary, can also help fill in gaps etc.

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

Sounds a bit like the sort of thing that Dave Jessup would have done?

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

Was quite tame compared to the Davie Fairbairn days

Iversen(once he's fitter) and Zagar improve the league....all im interested in....

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.

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

Came upon this thread during a long odyssey to find a copy of Speedway Promoter. We played this game religiously as teens, and despite the limitations, was an absolute cracker. Many a late Friday night after a meeting at Oxford spent on this beauty. Looks like it’s been a while since this thread was updated, but if anybody has a copy of the files that they’d be willing to share, we’d be made up.
