Pretty negative comments there Hawk. Most posters on here, including me, seemed to enjoy the meeting. Close racing, a fair amount of passing and the meeting went right down to the wire. Plus the underdogs won. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

What a great Speedway meeting! If you didn't like that I really don't know why you watch Speedway at all, it had everything, great racing, close scoreline, last heat decider, drama in the last race and a victory for the underdog. You can compare it to Poland until the cows come home but you're comparing Premier League football to the Championship. That was a great advert for the sport in this country

Really good to see all the postive comments on the match - often after a TV meeting there is a lot of negativity. So glad Birmingham won (Nothing against BV) as well otherwise the gap between the top 5 and bottom 2 would be geting too large - just need Kings Lynn to win a few now and we might get a competitive battle for those 4 spots! We need an even and competitive league!

Good to see he has got the chance , when he is riding the way he is and the way we know he can he is an asset to both leagues. I wish him well and hope it is a success for him.

Cracking meeting this.

Meeting off. Flooded track from over watering after too much sun throughout the day. Sorry just practising for Thursday.

That’s because Belle Vue DO have the biggest home advantage in the league, let’s not pretend otherwise here. Why are you all saying you’ll take all the aggregate bonus points if that wasn’t the case? Nobody racks up home scores in to the mid to high 50’s at home as consistently as Belle Vue do. The stats are there for all to see! The only team that occasionally make a decent fist of it there are Sheffield, probably because their riders also have a decent set up for big fast tracks. You need to be fast at the NSS, otherwise you get swallowed up very quickly even if you make the start. The home boys have the set up to a T, away riders very often struggle for speed around there, even the very best.

Why would he though? Very least they would had got was a match winning 4-2! Birmingham deserved that victory , bit of a recently typical bitter attitude from an Aces fan

Well done Brummies - very entertaining meeting and some of their riders really did well for them tonight!

Pawlicki did ‘a Nicki Pedersen’ slightest of criticism touches and dropped it.

Brum deserved that win tonight. Showed a lot of fight throughout the meeting with various riders stepping up.

How the hell did Wrocław get a draw out of that ? Great meeting, bewley outstanding

You wouldn't know a sensible debate if it crept up and bit you on the ass!!

Electrics all fixed (see the insta), nobody injured. Classic Trackprat claptrap.!

7.30pm UK time

Pity about Wednesday. Getting our fix by going to Edinburgh and Berwick. Come on the Pirates ☠️

Exactly, that was my point. They are much weaker than last season and fail to see where the improvements are going to come from. Blodorn is doing way better away than I expected and mountain in reserve will get them a few points. Not in the same league as PC and Mort.

You stick to Poland, I'm very happy with the product here, great meeting last night and really pleased the Brummies did it

And yet F1 does so well? First corner, race over... Unless the tyre fitters can come up trumps...

From what I saw then read on updates only 12 out of 15 (80%) were like this. Just shows the ignorance of none speedway fans.

It does seem a strange one putting Ellis at 5, I can only assume they want to pair Dan T up with Doyle to take the pressure off a bit in 3 of his rides perhaps?

In the Leicester match, I had to go into the grandstand, it was so bitter cold ... I didn't last night, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was full again. Certainly, the crowd has been so much bigger this year than for a long time.

I don't get that one either? I'd class previous tracks such as Eastbourne/Wolverhampton/Arena-Essex, as the 'home-advantage' type venues? Failing that....Leicester's gate-'n'-go type track is the new Home advantage for me....simply because the home side can get the bike set-up just right for getting out the starts....

For me he's a bit of a mercurial enigma, on his day he's as good as anybody and he can do that consistently until something gets in his head (and I am not talking about his mental health here, before everybody jumps on me, I am talking about his mind management as a professional athlete), history has shown that with various incidents he's been involved in. He's established himself at several clubs over the years and for one reason or another has moved on and it's been quite a surprise to see that. He is a quality Speedway rider, you don't get to qualify for the GP's without being so, there is absolutely no denying that and he should dominate the CL in its weakened form, PL in it's "strengthened" guise this season? He has the gating ability to be a lot better in the PL than he has recently been, his current form in the CL says it should be a no brainer for a team to include him in their side in the PL especially on a short term basis.

No pressure on the lad I would suggest.. 28 days to earn a few quid he hadnt budgeted for.. If it works out, great, he may find a permanent place either there or elsewhere... If it doesnt, then no loss...

He had a very decent season last year, up until the crash that injured a photographer. That could affect any rider, wether the struggle with mental health or not. Some comments on the forum suggests he had a bad season, but really he just had a bad end to the season.

Someone had to be excluded - as Chris Louis said it would have been very harsh on Pawlicki to exclude him as Kurtz dived underneath - it reminds me a wee bit of the playoff final at Owlerton (22) when TobiM charged under Oh Kurtz and down he went!

Fans ? never spotted any

certainly encourages you to make a journey to perry bar. i was impressed by the poles and the brum team in general

Lots of positives tonight for British speedway. A well prepared track close meeting throughout and good racing to go along with it.

For a rider of his stature, Bewley has apalling track craft and race awareness

Fair call imo,but once the ref come to that conclusion the race should be awarded as Brennan was in a different post code to Bewley.

Anyone who follows polish speedway will be fully aware of the pawlicki brothers, “ getting knocked off “ and getting a rerun

The NSSC are hosting a special event on Tuesday 7th May at the Brandon Club. Starting at 8pm, Paul Ackroyd, David Norris and Gary Havelock will be discussing the work of the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund. Although at times it is a solemn but necessary subject there will be plenty of opportunity for David & Gary to entertain the audience with tales of past adventures. It promises to be a great event with all proceeds for the SRBF. Everyone welcome only £4 entry. All details here; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk

prob because you are a problem with other posters and give the negative factor to teams and fans of other tracks . maybeall posters shold take a restraining order against you ! Left Over Lolly

Of course, it's terrible when someone uses their knowledge to make a post, as opposed to just blurting out nonsense...

When will @admin block these Poole bullies? Unable to have a sensible debate without name calling & bullying.

Some of there fans were hammering us for early call offs last season interesting

What a predictable response

I’m pretty sure he stated that he was finished with forum and the Club.

Cos some marras are tight and won't want to spend any extra

Dirt and grip. Or more than the BV meeting anyway.

Hopefully with the new averages out tomorrow it'll give you guys a bit more scope to rearrange the team riding order as Milik has been hopelessly out of his depth riding at Number 1. Whether the management will have the nous to get the riding order more balanced is another question though.

Hopefully the week at home does him well then

Well done Brum, shock result, a very entertaining tv opener. Good stuff from Swindon-born Tom Brennan, a good lad. Good luck to the Brummies, just need a decent number 1, good all-around scoring.. Lidsey and Bewley very poor.

Justice there. Actually really enjoyed that one tonight. Always makes it better when the underdog comes out on top. Brilliant. For Belle Vue, that was abysmal

Have you been talking to Buster by any chance.

Also, if she drops out I think she'll get a ban since FIM meetings take priority.

I think the dragging out of the disciplinary hearing for Lee has now become more relevant with Ace out. Would guess our promotion will be onto the SCB to move this on quicker now we are in the position off having no reserves.

Probably quite slow, with dragging the ball and chain.
