Manifesto 43 Posted March 23 Rain due Monday which isn’t promising.. if things do change with the forecast I fancy Sheffield to win this by 10 points. We ran Oxford very close after having no laps as a team before this. Similar kind of track shape I think we will start better. hoping for some good racing I will be making the trip down Monday 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted March 23 If this one beats the weather I’ll hopefully be off to this one, can only see an away win for Sheffield, unlike the Oxford visit all the Sheffield riders have prior experience of Perry Barr, even though Birmingham should have upper hand at reserve the top 5 of Sheffield should see them through, so going for a 40-50 away win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,821 Posted March 24 On paper should be an easy ride for the champions. Here is hoping for a last heat decider and 43-47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,027 Posted March 24 (edited) If I was Birmingham I'd have sacrificed heat 13 & aimed for points in heats 8 & 14. Plus tell Ermolenko he can put Cook in heats 12 & 14 if he's riding better than Flint. 1. Vaclav Milik 2. Steve Worrall 3. Wiktor Lampart 4. Scott Nicholls 5. Tom Brennan 6. Zach Cook 7. Leon Flint Edited March 24 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the hobbit 153 Posted March 25 (edited) 9 hours ago, kitten2502 said: He is fully aware of that! Yes… he has already said that he could have made one more change at Oxford…. Cook for flint in heat 14 but as those of us in attendance debated, would that have knocked Leon’s confidence and remember that Leon had won his last race in heat 8 . A hard call… we were doing far better than any of us expected but, which way would you have gone? personally, I was happy to support whichever decision he made because there were pro’s snd cons either way and, he’d already shown he had the nouse and the bottle by dropping milik for Worrall in heat 13 Edited March 25 by the hobbit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piston197 194 Posted March 25 (edited) BBC midlands news this morning, small piece about Birmingham speedway, it could have been a good advert for the club and to let people know about it with some enthusiasm for the sport ? No! it was a warning by Nigel Tolley if the crowds do not turn up, then speedway will not be sustainable and will disappear from Birmingham , this before a home match has even been staged, pessimistically expecting a poor turn out it would seem ?
