Brummie Boy 61 Posted July 30, 2017 I notice when the Colts visit Perry Barr on Wednesday, the Aces are at Poole the same night. I presume this means Bewley and Smith will be unavailable due to riding in the Premiership match, with Aces having first call on their services. Surprised Belle Vue have allowed this fixture clash to happen as they will be missing their top two with averages of 10.67 and 8.27. Whoever they book as a guest, presume the other will be rider replacement, this must significantly weaken the Colts as Bewley seems to be able to rack up high scores at any track at the moment and Smith needs no introduction to Perry Barr. It will be interesting to see what happens...................although weather forecast for Wednesday looks none too promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman27 31 Posted July 30, 2017 Well obviously smith will be r/r as means any rider in their team can take an extra ride and they can bring any rider in pretty much for Bewley 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted July 31, 2017 Clegg was very fast there against Eastbourne brum could win this by 2 I feel if Hampshire doesn't do what he did last week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted July 31, 2017 I dont think it will weaken Belle Vue at all ??? there's alot of riders who can fill their shoes round PB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted July 31, 2017 Of course it will weaken belle vue, they r missing the best rider in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted July 31, 2017 Was gonna say the same thing, deffo weekend them, and possibly enough to effect the result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted August 1, 2017 Poole v belle vue looks like it could be an early rain off. So maybe bewley and Smith will ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 1, 2017 Of course it will weaken belle vue, they r missing the best rider in the league. I can name a few riders that will score as many points as Bewley will most likely score ? How can it weaken them when they can practically choose any guest they like ? Forecast rain....so we're having a pointless debate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted August 1, 2017 Maybe cus Bewley us the best rider in the league so is irreplaceable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 1, 2017 Maybe cus Bewley us the best rider in the league so is irreplaceable That doesnt mean to say that he's the best rider around Perry Barr ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CUFC_Brummie 132 Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) So two guests and R/R for Belle Vue's heatleaders which is a real shame, with the forecast looking dodgy that might make me think twice about trekking up tomorrow but we'll see how it goes. In fairness to Drury's rational on not having any open dates on the fixture list it looks believable, the Aces ride a lot of Wednesday's, although we could've switched it with the Kent fixture and then not had any clashes. Forecast for Poole looks atrocious, if that gets called early I hope Belle Vue are allowed to track Bewley and Smith. If it goes ahead as it is, you'd hope we now have the edge, whilst Ayres and Davey are no slouches around Perry Barr, there's no doubt that Bewley is a significant upgrade on Bewley and that R/R for Smith is weaker too. Great opportunity for 3 points. Edited August 1, 2017 by CUFC_Brummie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummies_Ste 135 Posted August 1, 2017 Brummies have asked BV is they want to include Bewlwy & Smith due to Poole now off Waiting for a response Although the weather forecast is dire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman27 31 Posted August 1, 2017 I would imagine Belle Vue would say yes as means they wouldnt have any guests and r/r instead for Lee Payne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
