    Interesting aside: how do you feel about Tony Clarke? His crimes were against speedway, yet he was back in the Wolverhampton team within days of his release.

    I was of the belief that the Ruskies were happy to sell off tyres and equipment at the end of a tour as dollars / pounds were a benefit to them. Is this a fair reflection that the 'theft' was arse covering when things went a bit muddy?

    No, I can react fine using my phone, it's using a computer which doesn't work - I'll try a different browser - tried using microsoft edge and doesn't work on that either

    Similar here. Phone works, computer & tablet don't!

    ....BIRMINGHAM Speedway would like to update supporters attending racenights.....The previous agreement with the One Stop Shopping centre is NO longer in place and supporters are advised to adhere to the rules displayed should they choose to park .....

    Together with being 'caught' at Tesco parking Leicester with a dragged out meeting, i considered the above was enough to stop me attending Birmingham Speedway and also to not shop at the One Stop. 

    Am I alone?

    PS: I do miss playing 'frogger' across the A34 when the flyover was there!

  4. Even in earlier times travelling was a 'mare, so as a group of Wolves fans (many cars), we would pre-plan mass Proggy ordering & meet at Barton Arms. Those with a good journey, got more beer in! Then a burst up the '34 to the One Stop for parking.  

    This makes me focus on lack of parking as an issue, especially if ever crowd increase occurred.  Similar to Leicester's sun delays and run a fine at Tesco parking. In both cases get caught once, don't go again!

    As for the 'outside viewing', since the bouncy castle fences went in, it's become non existent! At least it reminds me of Crayford & London revamp @ Hackney!

    Apologies for being so negative / realistic :(

    So, when are the BSF Admins going to lift & shift the Brummies thread into the right forum? :drink:

    When the uncoordinate announcements: either leaks / drifts out / or a Chris Harris bubblegum piccy of his race suit appears!


  6. It was rumoured that the Hotel said a bond must be paid upfront to ensure that they completed their stay and didn't default on extra costs typically putting extra guests into the rooms or cancelling the rooms at no notice on the day!. Also, as they hadn't stayed there for at least 2 years they couldn't vote against this ruling.

    The promoters replied, "This is a disgrace, it's poor encouragement to get more to attend, it's totally bad practice, nobody else operates like that ......"
