Could catch Edinburgh if they win the last 4 fixtures, tonight being the toughest looking. Newcastle home & away then it could all come down to Monarchs visit to Perry Barr. If Brummies don't win tonight I'd think the playoffs are out of sight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a bump on the first/second bend. Do Birmingham have no idea how to prepare a decent track. Riders do not complain without good reason. This in not the first time this has happened this season. Second time for The Bears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,098 Posted September 8, 2021 If the referee thought the track was safe then they would have been told just to get on with it without the extensive track work surely? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
