Brave prediction...

I'll go for 36 - 54 in favour of Leicester.

I think Leicester will win but not by that amount.

Hope not - don't want to go incurring a big wage bill too early in the season

[lisa-colette 6,018]

With the strength at Birmingham's bottom end they should be getting at least 40 imo.

Now you're just being silly!

We need the track to be grippy coz we can't gate... New tracks are never grippy.  It's only a practice match, so no drama.

Be good to get a win against Leicester though for confidence even if it is only 2 points, so they are ready for next home meeting.

Who is that against again??

Hope good turnout for new promoters & the track isn't dusty. 46-44.

Not much chance of dust.  Absolutely throwing it down at Perry Barr right now.

UPDATE now stopped and sun peeping out, but track looks very wet

First heat... 6 seconds slower than track record

What was the size of the crowd tonight ?

Average race time then about 65 seconds?

£18 for 10 races = £1.80 per race.  Divided by 65 = 2.77 pence per second of track "action". Alternatively, for the 4 overtakes that were not attributable to bike failures, that's £4.50 per overtake. Bargain!

So, who's eating their words now? Who'd want to be a weather forecaster? Yep, it certainly was a night like no other...no getting away from that.

It's almost a good thing that the crowd was "unspectacular" as at least if someone does come for their first time in weeks to come, they have a chance of picking up a better impression of the sport than tonight would have given, and may come again.
