Batch will either be a hit or a miss. I’d like to think the likes of kye, lasse and borke will have the beating of the Brummies lower end. I’d take any form of home win big or small as it will secure the bonus point regardless. He was really good last night at Sheffield 9+2 from a visiting no 2 is about as good as it gets! Completely different track of course but........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The H Man 252 Posted June 23, 2023 Watched the stream should have been abandoned after heat 1 when Pickering and Morris out of shape, you know things aren’t good. Joe Thompson broken collarbone in heat 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 23, 2023 Unfit track what's script with that? Weather? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noaksey 345 Posted June 23, 2023 Several showers during the day and pretty much constant rain from before the start all the way through. Very heavy rain on the way back to Falkirk They probably should have called it off after heat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah bspl saying rain. Just when updates sure said unfit track. Like you say has it's downsides but usually well prepared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spt82 86 Posted June 23, 2023 10-15 years ago that would never have been anywhere near being called off, but it seems the riders/bikes, probably more the bikes, just can't cope with conditions like tonight and therefore was the correct decision, but I've certainly watched meetings in far worse conditions without much of a fuss being made.

Remember Edinburgh Vs Glasgow so much water got into tapes was flag start. Peter Carr was on the mic calling Micky Powell a cheat. That would be off the day before now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted June 23, 2023 Had heavy showers this morning which would’ve been perfect and the track was perfect till the constant drizzle hit from 7pm. Then just continued from then on and the track just got worse and worse with no chance to recover. Typical really nice all week then gets to 7pm on the Friday and the rain hits. Oh well we’ll try again another time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, when I first started watching speedway in the 1970's people were saying the same thing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
