Falcon Hammer 576 Posted March 29, 2014 The Draft riders get the same rates. Travel costs will have been reduced significantly though - no flights to pay for, especially costly if the meeting is rained off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted March 29, 2014 Thank you for that top tip Admission is £17 (Adults) for that line up of teams. Top value. No wonder the BSPA think that the EL is the best league in the world and worth protecting at all times and in all ways. And the PL is £16 for a weaker product, wonder who is the bigger rip off merchant. The EL IS the best/strongest/top league in this country, by any definition. Without a top league NO sport can be taken seriously. Don`t forget to mention the 7 GP riders and the World Champ ride in the best league in the Country. Great value for money compared to the rip off PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike.Butler 601 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Isn't it inevitable that having so many riders riding in two (or three) divisions is going to cause problems throughout the season?..and that's before injuries.. I'm all for british youngsters getting as many rides as possible but this a consequence. Edited March 29, 2014 by Mike.Butler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamond_ren 209 Posted March 29, 2014 Replacing a track specialist (Kennett) with Tungate? Yeah seems fair lol. Only in speedway. Didn't think speedway could get any more of a laughing stock but tonight I think it actually has 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,821 Posted March 29, 2014 As expected Brum trounced again. Thank god for one decent team in the Midlands keeping standards up. That is a dismal score all the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted March 29, 2014 Birmingham should give Plymouth meeting going with that team, awful. Not 1 rider impressing or performing as should do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tractorboy 9 Posted March 29, 2014 Well a job well done by the Eagles tonight. good solid performance all round Afraid to say it looks like a long season for the Brummies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted March 30, 2014 The Eagles look to be stronger than ever at home but the Brummies were poor tonight. The best entertainment was Bob Dugard nearly wiping out Lewis Blackbird with his tractor. After a bad accident at King's Lynn a few years ago I thought that tractors were no longer allowed to come onto the track until the riders had left it!
