lucifer sam 3,960 Posted June 22, 2016 I'm thinking of coming up for this later on. What's the weather like? All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted June 22, 2016 Surprised there wasnt a thread started earlier with it being such an important meeting. We need a healthy lead to take to central park and we have a good choice of guest in Matt Williamson, he was excellent for Eastbourne the other week scoring 13+1. Kent are a top side, Danny Ayres especially is good here and last time round Luke Bowen was practically unbeatable. So this will be a tough one Weather is dry and sunny at the minute, hope it stays that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseguy 214 Posted June 22, 2016 Come on Kings, keep it tight and in with a good chance in the second leg Absolutely gutted that England are now playing on Monday and i promised my boy I would watch the football with him,decisions decisions, really dont want to let him down but really want to watch Kings in the cup final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueherb777 571 Posted June 22, 2016 I would settle for the earlier 45-45 draw. But I think if Kent can keep Brum down to a 6-8 lead it will be a job well done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whistlegang 88 Posted June 22, 2016 I think our unbeaten run will come to an end tonight, however, Birmingham's lead won't be enough to get the aggregate win. Speedway wins over football every day of the week. BYW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,793 Posted June 22, 2016 the lad comes first every time, there will be more meetings but he will remember you deciding speedway over a night in with him. do the right thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,249 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) An off night for any rider could swing this tie. Think that Brum will have enough about them to run out winners at home but providing Kent can keep the score within 10 (which is easily achievable) then prospects look good for Monday. Not only is this a massive chance for the Kings to pick up a piece of team silverware but could have a large impact on the Kent attendances as many will opt for Speedway if the result looks close but perhaps football if Brum hand out a thumping tonight. On a side note i believe the football is being shown in the main bar? If so surely its the answer to both. Watch the speedway then the football to follow? Sounds like win win (except perhaps for England) Edited June 22, 2016 by Sings4Kings 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted June 22, 2016 a few people seem to be missing the point on here. it's nothing to do with choosing speedway over football , it's choosing speedway over a promise to your son. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,793 Posted June 22, 2016 my lads reckon ive only ever let them down once, it was when the 3 of them wanted a day off school to go and meet slipknot in brum where they were doing a signing session.i had to be on the wifes side because shes a teacher so I said no even tho I remember thinking they would remember the slipknot meeting for ever whereas the day at school would be long forgotton.which it is.15 years later they still jokingly bring this up from time to time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like win win (except perhaps for England) After the match the other day id pick speedway over the football... So many chances but just couldn't land it at least something is garunteed to happen at speedway! Also not sure it will do much to attendances after winning a trophy. After winning 3 last year ours have dropped if anything Edited June 22, 2016 by Al3x200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,607 Posted June 22, 2016 Surprised there wasn't a thread started earlier .. Maybe the average Brummies fan is a bit too long in the tooth or a bit too web-weary to take part in forums any more. Things ain't what they used to be. Just be grateful that they still turn up through the gate on the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its how we get hooked on the sport as kids seeing moments like that. At end of day you can always record the football and watch it later.
