I think the track at Brum has always been shocking. Speaking as someone who marshalled there for 5 seasons it was always bare really early. 

. I don't think that seven tonight would win the championship imo. I know you love your stats however I will go with what I saw so if you don't agree that is totally fine by me.

With Kemp getting a r/r that's not too bad an option. Does mean the reserves having to take 10 rides between them though (unless using a tac sub).

Are you content with track preparation or lack of at Birmingham. You used to get great racing not anymore. The riders aren't happy either but I guess that counts for nothing? They beat BV minus Kurtz so that's a none starter. Leicester rode very well both times I admit. Just sad to see the state of them really in their final season.

No one knows the circumstances behind this tho. Maybe Birmingham are happy with Hagon and will cost them less money paying out for less points? Maybe Edwards already told Birmingham he didn’t want to come back? One thing that is usual tho is nothing remotely factual will be released to the public which is why it’s mockery.  To be honest some whingers were calling for Pearson to be sacked for years. Nigel was a proper speedway person through and through. Be careful what you wish for….. it could be worse you could have someone who has no idea about the sport like people like Abi who just paraphrases everything that the experts say in every interview. Even Tony Millard who made so many mistakes it was off putting. Yet again another none real speedway person. Kelvin and Chris do a good job along with Scott. Kelvin is not a journalist like Nigel was but he is the best we have so far. Dave Goddard and Dave Rowe do a decent job at what they do also btw.

Jason Doyle... tut tut Nikki Pedersen would be proud of you.
