The decision to postpone the meeting didn't affect anyone........everybody had advanced notice? It's the so called vigilante supporters who will close another track down, not the 'common sense' of a benevolent promotional speedway operation! Call yourself speedway fans ??? maybe be just an envious Coventry supporter ??? Wonder somebody has said they booked an hotel and couldn't get a refund! HGould is right - tell it like it is --- could have sold it as David v Goliath meeting. However, I know why speedway has this rule but it does need reflecting on. A NL guest for a No 1 is harsh. May be a guest to missing rider's average -5% instead of +5% as it is for home meetings might be more reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Workington I stand by my post 100%, Speedway at Workington is finished and will not return, In my view Re my question to the Speedway Star, The current situation at Birmingham is typical of the current state of Speedway, We all know the reason last nights meeting was cancelled was because Mr Ellis was riding in Denmark, (he did very well scoring 9 points) There was nothing wrong with the Electric's at Birmingham, as confirmed to me by the Stadium, Supporters should be told the truth, the SCB/BSPA will do nothing, or should it be just brushed under the carpet, In my view the Press should look into this for the fans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who exactly at the stadium confirmed this then ? You Argos are a complete liar and have zero substance to back up your claims. You may be correct but you are guessing you have spoke to absolutely no one. This thread is more to have another dig at Lawrence Rogers (who i am no fan of) who we know you hate. But this decision has nothing to do with him it would be in no way his call to make . Edited May 17, 2019 by ProudtobeaBrummie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
