Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) First league meeting for Pirates and one that might well go down to the wire. Pirates starting the season well and living up to being title favourites, but Birmingham wasn’t a good place to go last season when we were turned over very easily and suffered the loss of Stefan Neilsen to a bad injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Pirates never got to grips with a tricky track and Paco Castagna, Shanes and Morris all scoring well. This season though it’s all change and we start again on hopefully a better prepared circuit. Pirates need to come away with at least a point but will surely be targeting 3. Hopefully the weather will be better and the crowd big. Looking forward to coming up for what should be a thriller. Thoughts? Will Birmingham hold off the Pirates to bag a home win, or will Poole prove a little too strong? Edited April 7, 2022 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,028 Posted April 7, 2022 Well sounds like the track is a lot better now and sorted from the base like what happened at Poole, so should be good racing! Prediction wise I can't decide, so I'll sit on the fence and say a draw lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted April 7, 2022 Feel like the Pirates will hot 50 again. Re-laid track at Brum takes away any home advantage and rider for rider Poole just look better. Morris aside have any of the Brum team given a decent account of themselves yet? A run of tough opposition is only going to darken the mood around Perry Barr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted April 7, 2022 Will definitely be a 'cracker' ! King/Lawson/Worrall are all double figure score riders at PB. Where as, we only have Vissing/Ellis that will potentially bag 10 points or more..... It will come down to the second strings scrapping for the minor placings. I'll go for 40-50 Poole win....but with some close racing now that the track is in great condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
