Bluenose 74 Posted June 2, 2019 Ellis missing ? Again Just read report that Hans Andersen got injured in Denmark yesterday, riding for Grinsted. Could we be missing Ellis for the next few weeks ? Grinsted have fixtures for next 3 Wednesdays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted June 2, 2019 Don't be surprised if you don't see Adam again, or certainly not for the full season. As for the names mentioned, all very fine riders but on crowds we are getting I can't see us having the money to sign them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’d already agreed a deal to ride in Denmark so they get priority over Birmingham I’d assume your promoters would’ve knew this before signing him! And I’ve no idea if he will miss the next 3 home meetings that mainly depends if he gets picked for his danish team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what they will come up with this time? Well we've had the "run out of electricity" excuse, so can't use that one again...what else will they come up with? A burst water main? It almost worked for Belle Vue, but you never know, learn some lessons from it and do it properly next time. A bomb scare? Could be serious consequences if they get found out pulling off that hoax, so it's doubtful Staff Shortages? What would happen if there wasn't a Clerk of the Course, or a Start Marshall because they got "held up in traffic" or something? A Food Hygiene issue causing the whole stadium to be quarantined? A localised suspected Smallpox outbreak again causing the whole stadium to be quarantined? Suspected Rabies found in one of the greyhounds causing the whole stadium to be quarantined? Take your pick, any of them will be as ridiculous as the next. Well, would you put it past them try it on again? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I am reliably informed Adam Ellis will NOT be riding in place of the injured Hans Anderson in Denmark as they are Different graded riders. Max Fricke is the A grade rider they have as replacement . I am pretty sure it is sorted so any Birmingham fixture will have priority over any Danish fixture for Adam .

Ellis not riding in Denmark on Wednesday if you look at last post on the Grinsted Facebook page 10 hours ago. Translated from Danish: Quote After a annoying night in outrup, where his andersen got a break on skulderklinger, we are now getting ready for Wednesday's match at Kjærgaard Speedway Arena in grindsted, where we are meeting esbjerg.The weather forecast looks promising, so come and see some good racing: we are ready with sausages on the grill Our team is:Max FrickeThomas JørgensenNicolai BushKasper AndersenEmil grøndal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
