Piotr Pyszny 206 Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) My wife is away working in Birmingham this week with a bunch of fellow lawyers. She likes an occasional outing to speedway and plans to watch this match. She had hoped to persuade some of her colleagues to join her. The only one who was keen, who likes Moto X and whose husband watches speedway, can no longer attend because, in her husband's unexpected absence, she has to dash a hundred miles home to sort out a domestic matter. I'm told none of my wife's other colleagues - 10 of them! - have any idea what speedway is, and back-heeled the idea of going to Perry Barr in favour of yet another evening eating in a Birmingham city centre restaurant. Says a lot about speedway's profile now. Quite often, I meet people - especially twenty and thirty somethings - who haven't ever heard of speedway. Still, one more on the crowd tomorrow!

Personally I think Birmingham's changes strengthen them, will that be enough for them to win, who knows? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An update: my wife's interested colleague has managed to sort out her domestic issue therefore does not have to return home. So, they're going together tomorrow. The colleague is "very excited" about the prospect of watching speedway for the first time.

It does in the current state of affairs (simply because Wright couldnt beat an egg atm)....but, I can't see where the points are going to come from apart from using Morris as a T/S in one of his rides? Sedgemen has only won 2 races at home all season? Alfie has improved greatly and might get a 2nd place....Mountain has had 8 rides at PB this season and hasn't won any (and that's against us) ? We haven't had one race winner in Heat 15 at home..... ALL season! And what motivation is LR going to inject ? We need a miracle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On that basis, you'd never try anything new. Many people are reluctant to try new things especially when risking disappointment if they have loads of other dependable stuff in their lives.

StephenMiller 75 Posted June 7, 2023 Can't see anything but another heavy defeat here unfortunately... Masters, Nicholls and Kerr are all usually excellent around Perry Barr and on our current form we'll struggle to take points off any of those three Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
