  1. Best wishes to Danyon - really nice fella and horrible to hear of his injury! I hope a full recovery is made.
  2. Maybe but equally giving him an extra start where he runs a last might set him back - I think he is making progress - last season hed have been maybe scoring just a single point! There is no doubt the lad can gate pretty well but he got passed in one ride and the same could have happened in heat 12 as he was up against Harris and Cook.
  3. if only the promotion knew where to find one......... Well I quite enjoyed that some decent races normally involing Chris Harris, Richard Lawson and Kyle Howarth - the scoreline flattered Leicester a tad maybe - if KL just had Klindt it might have been a lot more interesting.
  4. indeed but i rather suspect the dicking was assuming a full strength Tigers - lets hope nothing seriously wrong with Holder Jnr. irrespective of joking about injuries etc if one of your kids is ill - you'd certainly be taking time off work for it! In fact I had to do it a couple of times myself years back!
  5. Is that you Buster? you did indeed - I am now going to check Klindts facebook to see if he has clarified his not riding now!
  6. oh, my mistake it appeared to me that it was on BSN! Oh well Leicester stream it is, as I am not in Shef this week!
  7. The Q to answer is can Birmingham beat their 29 score from the first fixture? I expect a home win but by less! I can't decide which stream to watch either thjis one or the Leicester v KL one!
  8. with apologies to Brummies supporters everywhere - i think most of us knew this already!!!
  9. I think also that what people don't get is midlands traffic can be horrendous, you can't just pop down the road. from say Wolves to Perry Barr, its going to be at least an hour in Monday rush hour traffic even though it s less than 20 miles!! - There are two cities in the UK I hate driving in they both begin with B - one is Bristol and the other is Birmingham! I live in Sheffield and don't go that often if Sheffield closed I could get the either BV or Scunny but the prospect of a 1 hr journey each time would mean it would be an occasional visit at the most! That doesn't mean I still don't enjoy streams and watching on the TV, or having an opinion on what happens. In 2022 or maybe 2023 (Wolves last season) I saw a guy who was clearly a Wolves supporter at the tram stop at Hillsborough corner - clearly on his way back to Sheffield station for a train back to Wolverhamnpton area - I recall thinkling fair play - you won't be home until Midnight! Whilst this is true what is the issue? - perhaps part of it is the Brummies closing in the mid 80s and not re-opening until the mid 2000's. That 20 year gap may have lost a lot of following. I'd say BIrmingham has the larger potential audience than Sheffield (500K) and the crowds at Owlerton are decent prob 2k or so - more when Belle Vue or Leicester are in town. Similar to the Netball - Basketball in the UK - I used to take my lad and a couple of his mates to Sharks (Sheffield) games the sport was I suspect semi pro / part time but attracted a good loyal regular following prob about 700-1k per match. I haven't been for a few years so no idea what the crowds are like now.
