I wish him well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,200 Posted June 19, 2019 Fair to say I think that any Promotion needs "luck" and for a variety of reasons Mason's not getting any at moment on or off the track. Wish them well as tonight will be a tough sell at the Turnstiles for floating fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think David and Peter are being let down by fans....not luck.....they're giving us what we've been asking for and B'ham fans are not backing the club like they were probably led to believe? Lets face it....speedway is a very hard product to sell these days, especially in a City as big as B'ham (lots of competition) and not much interest from local communities! just my opinion!? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need to see a list of other meetings that he's not available for, before we can pass judgement on that one? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eM_Pe 49 Posted June 19, 2019 Well that was hugely entertaining! Big, big congratulations to the people who prepared such a wonderful track with all the rain we've had here recently. Marvelous result from Wright, and some great action from Paco, Nicol (the kid is positively mad, can we have more of him if opportunity arises?), and Shanes. Coles and Aarnio also showed great commitment. After Heat 1 I was worried that Worrall would remain unbeaten all night... But then Paco happened! The guests have still definitely offered some good racing. This was a great advertisement for Brummie speedway. Well done everyone! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shanes was in the Semi final of the European Grass track. ( which he won), which takes precedence and Paco was recalled by the Italian Federation for a three day event which they wouldn’t release him from Stoneman and Morris both got injured on Monday and were not fit to ride Zac Wajtknecht retired we only had two riders fit / available a joke!!!!

brianbuck 927 Posted June 24, 2019 Don't see why this situation should be described as a "joke." If a club has only two fit/available riders then it can't track a four-man team - and mercifully, guest riders aren't allowed in this competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,105 Posted June 24, 2019 The outcome would've still been the same had we had our strongest 4 out …. imo !? I don't think we should dwell on it, or have need to judge/comment.....it was what it was ? Looking forward to the announcement of Zach's replacement and hopefully another home win against Glasgow!

uk_martin 1,606 Posted June 24, 2019 You have to hand it to the Brummies Spin Doctors, turning a stone cold last finish into "Brummies were knocked out in the semi-final stages" That's as near to a silk purse that a sows ear can ever be turned into. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
