Normski 1,315 Posted August 18, 2021 Good guest Brennan rode well for us against Poole. I expect Spud and Leon to be amongst the points having both ridden for Birmingham. Depends what Jye and Gapp turn up as to whether we get anything out of this meeting. My prediction which was miles off last night at Kent lol 49-41 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted August 18, 2021 With 10 mins before parade, crowd does seem to have dwindled. With Albion playing a couple of miles away, not unexpected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) No dust tonight, much better track. But still a little bumpy on turn 1. Not the best of meetings but if Brennan could have a word with Erik Riss before every meeting along the lines of what he said to him after heat 13 that would be good, heat 15 is the first time Riss has rode Perry Bar like he did for Redcar in 2019 that I've seen. Not sure what Brennan was upset about, Riss was leading with Brennan chasing but didn't seem to swerve to impede him to me. Other than the Brummies #1 maximum a word for James Shanes who battled for his 9 points and when he did eventually gate in his final ride was very quick. Harris was odd, super quick in his first ride, missed the gate in his third caught Flint & Brennan by the end of the first lap but then couldn't find a way past. Didn't make the gate in his final two rides having swapped bikes but rounded all with ease, except the inspired Riss in heat 15. Thomas was much improved. Castagna wasn't gating was well as recently as is reflected in his score, but the Italian & Morris have done as much as any Brummie to win the two recent 46-44 home meetings so no complaints. Morris was many to succumb to mechanical gremlins in the early stages of the meeting, Thomas & Andersen both packed up in heat 8, Thomas was smart enough to tootle around for a point whereas Andersen threw his bike down on eth centre green in disgust. Speaking of which Grobauer needed 3 heats to complete 4 laps and wouldn't have scored a point had Etheridge not slid off for the second time, his two falls meant the victory was comfortable for the home side who were flattered by the final score. The Bandits only resistance was from Brennan & Flint, the rest of the Bandits had a night to forget. Andersen has one decent ride & an argument with the start marshall, Bickley never looked like scoring. Bad news for Brummies is the Albion are at home again next Wednesday, good news for me is that the hawthorns kick off is again at 8 pm, the M6 is not looking a viable way home any time soon.
