Not sure if Barker thinks he should not be racing that was just Redcars views of his off track issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know that about 'Ash' …. but that really is like a 'new' signing !? He's becoming hard to catch around PB...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No disrespect intended towards Newcastle.....I'm sure they'll be a tough nut to crack...My comment leans more towards the fact that we only have 1 meeting before July : ))))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No not at all that is what i thought is there likely to be any more movement in our averages by that date ? I do not mind them taking there time tbh . I know a lot of people do not like R/R but for a couple of meetings its OK . Few more quid for our other riders covering his rides hopefully. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Ash is keeping fit, because 7 rides from 15 is a tall order ! he'll need '2' up to speed bikes ..... If I was the manager, I'd be carefully plotting/creating(in advance) a few gaps in the meeting for him to recover sufficiently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can someone give me any advice on which are the best (cheapest) hotels to stop in, maybe within walking distance? Where to park my car once I'm at the stadium, how much parking/tickets/programs are... Any advice for a first time visitor would be appreciated, thanks very much. Looking forward to seeing what Birmingham has to offer. Just quoting this as they've just been made visible Edited June 14, 2019 by JackJack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S4r4h 26 Posted June 14, 2019 There is a Travelodge about half a mile from the stadium near to Perry park. It's actually opposite Wickes (sandicliffe ford garage, may be Bristol st now?). i would imagine there is parking at the hotel. It will take you 5-8 mins to walk to the stadium from the hotel depending on how quickly you walk. £16.50 in to see the match and £3? a programme? See you in July! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianbuck 928 Posted June 15, 2019 There is also a small hotel only a matter of about 200 yards from the stadium, the Park Hotel. There is a car park at the stadium run by the GRA who make a charge of £2.50, but free parking is available at the One Stop shopping centre opposite the stadium. Parking there is normally limited to 3 hours, but this restriction is waived on speedway nights from 7pm onwards. Hope you enjoy your visit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
