When most people come out of the "one stop" car park they turn right and cross the road under the flyover, a better option would be to go left down to the light controlled crossing. I would suggest it is a safer option, especially for the less mobile amongst us. It is a slightly longer walk, but better than having to cross three busy roads (although there should be less traffic on a Sunday).

 

Agreed there is a safer route but whenever I’ve used the one stop people always seem to take the shortest route. Although the difference is only a few hundred yards

Regarding parking. It's £2.50 at the stadium of free in the "One Stop Shop" that is sign posted well. Park there and follow the masses over the road, it takes about 3 or 4 minutes. The only issue is that there is a quite a high step on the one side of the road if you're very short or struggle with mobility. The car park is well lit though and if you can park there, do so.

 

As for viewing, I think Sandies covered it well, bend 1 in the "temp" stands is the best place to watch at Brum.

 

Yep - high step for little legs = bad option. But I still do it.

Im 4ft 11 and 3/4 inches by the way!!!

Bjerre will be there, The Panthers booked a mini-bus to go watch him so he will definately ride I assume.

It is beautiful. Certainly not what we would normally expect for a speedway season start!

But when the sun goes down it will get chilly so be prepared.

 

Oh and remember - sunglasses and baseball cap required at Brum - a setting sun is a major problem!

Well done Ben Barker. He must have had a lot of bottle to come through after only scoring 9 points from the qualifying heats!!!!
