  1. Did Torun have to use Miedzinski in heat 15? Lublin will make the playoffs ahead of Czestochowa now surely. Have seen result but is Wroclaw meeting worth watching? Haven't watched Lezsno v Grudziadz either, assume that is a massacre?
  2. Thought Torun would pull clear once their reserve rides were out the way but wasn't expecting Przedpelski to finish last, gonna be twitchy sphincter finish.
  3. Second trip to Owlerton for me this year, first for this Panthers septet I believe. Can Panthers bounce back from home defeat to Belle Vue? Is Jack Holder likely to be fit, if not who guests.
  4. I assume Bradford Bulls (tenants) / Bradford Council (owners) can afford to pay for the upkeep of Odsal whereas Owlerton is privately owned.
  5. Was probably the poorest advert for Speedway and Owlerton I've seen live. Having been forced to watch the visit of the Aces from 3/4 bends I was looking forward to standing by the tapes, but ended up on the 3/4 bends after a few heats, the greyhound equipment on the home straight does impair the view. I'd obviously got a good spot higher on the terracing earlier on previous visits. The annoying thing is that you can get a reasonable unimpaired view on the entry of the first turn but it's got yellow hatch paint and some steward is standing guard - why? Best race was Batchelor v/s Pedersen, Howarth didn't really get going I also think Stead missed a trick when Howarth hit the tapes, why didn't he put Bickley in the re-run to get his third ride out of the way? It was rather pointless as it happens because the other Tigers reserve Wright didn't trouble the scorers much but he didn't know that. And I'm afraid Tigers won't make the playoffs unless there is a change. Another thing I think Stead is getting wrong, in the absence of Holder and while Batchelor remains highest in the averages surely putting Ellis at 5, Howarth with Guest at 3 & 4 and Pickering at 2 would make most sense?

    Wolves v Ippo 19/7

    Will likely top the CL averages for how many seasons running? ... higher than Morris, Schlien, Douglas, Nicol, Masters....
  8. Because almost no-one was wearing a mask in the Grand Stand? Strange meeting really, the early heats it seemed as if all the riders were so fast & smooth it just didn't produce any racing, I bet up to heat 8 no matter who had gate 1 came first and whoever had gate 4 finished last, gate 2 second and gate 3 third more often than not. Until then it seemed as if the Panthers had the advantage but just couldn't pull away. Heat 8 produced a great race between Worrall & Harris. Worrall clearly quicker but impeded by Etheridge in front of both a couple of times which allowed Harris a sniff, they swapped places until the final bend when Worrall failed to take Harris wide enough to end his challenge. Heat 10 was odd, Andersen remonstrated with the referee at the end, obviously thought that Wright has grasstracked to pass him on the inside. During the interval either the Aces found their gating gloves or the Panthers discarded theirs because it was simply one way traffic. Kurtz woke up. Harris had an EF at the tapes, even a Plam Toft TS did nothing to ease the flow of points to the Ace's. MPT had been the most consistent Panther to that point. Heat 15, saw Harris redeem himself a little outfoxing Bewley in a good battle for the minor placings, his EF didn't help but certainly didn't cost Peterborough the meeting. Panthers are a strange team, it's almost as if they have 4 3rd heat leaders, 2 better than average second strings and a reserve. Will see if they can bounce back at Owlerton on Thursday.
  9. Is it a case of grabbing a grandstand spot on arrival again, but I assume all seats will be available as it's England's "freedom day".
  10. And after the heat 8 track grade it's the worst.
  11. At least Louis & Tatum have finally realised Gate 3 is the best.
  12. Ok, that'll do! I'd only end up changing my mind completely again

    Birmingham Brummies 2020

    The Brummies return to action has coincided with work making me use all my AL, so couldn't go v/s Scorpions. My next visit to Perry Barr won't be until Kent visit. IMO while the start to the season has been disappointing you've got to allow the riders who are not riding elsewhere time to settle, especially Morris who has barely ridden a bike for 2 years and is still in reality only just coming back from injury.
  14. No, no, no... not confident enoughat this stage.... Ok... how about... £20 less Vaculik. £25 less Lambert. £155 less Doyle.
  15. I've seen round 1 & what occurred for round 2. It's going to be slick as sin tomorrow, so they get it completed. £100 less Lindgren. £100 less Lambert. £100 less Doyle.
  16. Not seen GP, result or spread. So completely blind! £25 more Lindgren. £25 less Zmarzlik £25 less Kvech
  17. Haven't seen round one or result or spread so guessing completely ignorant! Laguta £10 more, Lindgren £10 less. Lambert £10 less.
  18. Doyle £40 less. Vaculik £45 more. Thomsen £35 more.
  19. So this will be my first visit to EoEA as an adult... As (maybe) just a teen I visited the EoESg !! Only to be generally disappointed with every Cradley rider on show that day. Other than Brandon & Monmore I'd not seen them away from Dudley Wood before. So what should I expect? I hope the roads have improved. Will need dinner in a local establishment. Any recommendations? I have assumed the Tigers of Owlerton will give the Panthers something to worry about more than Hamill, Hancock & Handberg did in the very early 90's.
  20. Bjerre injured? That team might struggle to win on a tour of the British Premier League.
  21. Well that was pretty abject from Stars despite the Witches book a Belle Vue second string to guest for a former world champion. Jorgensen had a moment, Lawson was solid enough, the guesting Panther was the best Star and wasn't in heat 15? Hope Mountain isn't injured long term. Wells, Kerr & Heeps wee atrocious. The post meeting interview with Stars team manager was inspiring.
  22. Got my ticket, have been told I need to stand on the 3/4 bends... I remember having a drink in the bar on bend 3 a long... long time ago, but the bar was shut on my recent visits. Not sure I've stood there? I assume the view overlooks the pits? Is the bar still shut? Predictions? Decent pub for food in the area?
  23. Except for Gorzow they're all pretty dated. Wroclaw is well maintained admittedly. But the rest are no better than mid 80's division 3 football stadiums
