Pickering could ride as it's for the number 1 but if I remember rightly. Garry May said he'd booked Pickering to ride for Plymouth at Oxford that night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted July 22, 2022 Games opening ceremony is night after with a 30000 sell out crowd at Alexander Stadium. Very likely many security measures will be in force day before though. Allow plenty of time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Whoops, only just looked & realised where the Games are actually being held from the information above. Would be nice to think that Brummies could get a bigger crowd with the number of extra people in the area of Birmingham city centre?......... But with the Perry Barr Travelodge charging £114 per night for a room because of the Games it doesn't encourage a speedway fan to travel & stay over. Mind u there is also a train strike on Wednesday. You can see why sadly Birmingham speedway won't be getting my admission money on this occasion. Ermmmm me balls are snookered !

Apparently you can't drive northwards along the Aldridge Road for the next two Brummies matches. A nuisance as I live to the north ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummies_Ste 134 Posted July 23, 2022 I also travel north along Aldridge Road to get home & already have my route planned. Via Witton then Stockland Green Then Erdington & Sutton Coldfield. You could even go via Witton Spaghetti Junction then Erdington & Sutton Coldfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 511 Posted July 24, 2022 Yes, I did this a couple of times when they had the road mending; but I think that I will just double back via One Stop. (I park outside the warehouses on Walsall Road). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) All this commonwealth games nonsense. Is anyone actually excited about it? Genuine question. Doubt many are interested outside the athletics bubble and the citizens of Birmingham. I doubt I will watch it and I do watch a lot of sport. Hardly the Olympics. Back to the important stuff and as long as the track is better than last week I expect Pirates to win this one. It would be disappointing if we are not finalists.

lisa-colette 6,024 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Prob between us and Oxford. I won't begrudge Oxford or Brum winning the group as they don't have the playoffs. Edited July 24, 2022 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are in it you want to win it dont you? I expect us to win this group easily. Oxford and Birmingham just not good enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
