Col 850 Posted September 29, 2021 Absolutely terrible performance from the hosts, 3 heat wins all night for the Brummies. Track offered little, one line an inch from the fence. Edinburgh only needed 4 riders, 2 of whom got full maximums. Harris wasn't gating but was involved in the only two heats which can be considered "races" of the night, heat 13 battle for a point with Worrall and heat 15 with Pickering. Thomas and to a lesser extent Morris performed acceptably and if that was the real Grobauer its a shame he didn't show up in May. Hat's off to Ruml & Kemp, barely scored a point between them but at least they were trying different lines in an attempt to pass. Hopefully that immediately forgettable meeting won't be the last at Perry Barr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I've fell out of love with speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The apathy of the fans (another v.poor attendance - compare that to the crowd in Newcastle on their "last day") matched by the lethargy of the team. Can't help but think that they were under instruction not to drag the season out longer than it had to be. Birmingham Brummies, RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No more meetings = no money and it's their jobs !! They were all fired up to overcome the deficit but it just didn't happen. As for RIP there is a lot going on to save the club so let's get behind those efforts . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really pleased to hear that there's a lot going on to save the club.....'We (fans/followers) need to hear this ' ! There's been nothing coming from the club about the future....there's hardly any fans on here discussing it....it's easy to see why some think that we are fading away? I dont get why there has to be so much secrecy if there are talks in the pipeline....if you leave it too long, you will have lost 'the fans' attention and 'we' will have found other things to do to fill our Wednesday evenings! What fan wants to endure another season like that? Uk Martin's point wasn't silly IMO....after the stop/start and uncertainty of another disappointing season, it's perfectly normal to have the thoughts that he did? afterall, we all know that riders deliberately under perform to manipulate averages.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSL84 541 Posted October 4, 2021 I believe that Birmingham have got about 4 or 5 weeks to confirm that they will be running next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
