Diamonds85 700 Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Another underwhelming performance with another week of silence on BWD injury/replacement... why did I bother 75% of the rest of the crowd didn't... Well done to Jack Thomas, Dillon Ruml and Kyle Newman. All did brilliant with the last 2 in the wars. Scotty was amazing yet again also.

I'd say 500ish (I counted and there aren't many places to hide at Brough so probably a fair estimate). Edited April 24, 2022 by arnieg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bloom89 496 Posted April 24, 2022 Thankfully for us Batchelor didn't come to the party otherwise this could've been a right hiding. I don't think it was a great meeting personally only the scoreline kept it interesting, pretty much most of the passing was from riders picking up grip going into bend 3 and shooting across the corner. One brilliant pass by Nicholls could watch him at brough all day long. Our reserves are just too weak I like Complin but brough doesn't suit his style at all and Congreve looks so poor I'd rather we had Archie or even Josh Embleton riding they'd probably score the same points.

Rob watching from the back straight miles away from the riders, rather than in the pits stirring them on... 22 minutes ago, Racin Jason 72 said: What would you estimate the crowd to be today ? It would be hard to throw a number out, but we arrived at 10 to and our ticket numbers were in the 400s... Still think a lot of people come in for free through the pits... Even 500 fans is woeful, even for a National League side... Must admit my patience for George is running out rapidly, surely there's a better option out there... Even Justin Sedgmen would be better... At least it would put James at reserve for a month or so... And the BWD scenario is just getting silly now... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
