Deano 1,318 Posted September 10, 2021 Edinburgh just too strong tonight. Pity both sides weren’t at full strength the score line might have been tighter. Still it was entertaining and we’ll have our work cut out at PB in a few weeks. Up The Brummies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was never due to ride apparently, a long term commitment/engagement. Although I only found this out today. Pity though, we really needed him tonight.

Shows how much he thinks of Speedway as Team Sport.Self interest has manifested itself done to reserve riders.How does the Sport allow this farcical situation.

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted September 10, 2021 If Thomas had a long standing commitment elsewhere and this meeting was rearranged then it's not really his fault, Brum management would have known about it when accepting the date 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted September 10, 2021 Riss really has gone backwards when it looked like he would go on to be a superb rider. Shame. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately some will always look for negatives, which says it all really. Sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
