Dogs aren't allowed at Brough for Speedway meetings (at least they weren't) LOL

Just the 31 points to make up for the Diamonds Hopefully it will be a decent meeting and the Diamonds can get out of the gate a wee bit quicker than some have been (this before the Leicester meeting on Sat night) in previous meetings. Probable line-ups: Diamonds: Bradley Wilson-Dean, Matthew Wethers, James Wright, Max Clegg, Paul Starke, Lee Complin, George Congreve. Bears: Charles Wright, Adam Roynon, Lewis Kerr, Kasper Andersen, Erik Riss, Jordan Jenkins, Tom Woolley.

A bit late for the Redcar v Newcastle Tyne Tees Trophy match.

The idea was that many of the riders had ridden for, or had a connection, with Stoke, as a memory to Dave Tattum. The side had riders who are pretty useful around Brough, so the averages are pretty obsolete, IMO.

James could have gone in ht 15 had Paul not been disqualified. But, because Starkey had been DQ'd, a reserve had to come in.

Could be wrong, but I believe so.

Yes.

The only way round it, as far as I can see, is start earlier than 4pm, to avoid the dark. As to "why?" you better ask ARC to answer that one.

As erniew says, it's no joke. I was informed a few weeks ago that this was the case and I didn't believe it at first either, until it was confirmed at P&P.

That's correct.

4pm start as far as I know.

Facebook Page says "We will be looking to re-arrange this for the 3rd time later in the season and will keep you all updated."

Weather forecast looking OK for Sunday's opening meeting. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcybsr236#?date=2022-04-03

Weather forecast looking OK for Sunday's opening meeting.

I doubt he will say "I've lost interest in the sport," or "I don't love the sport like I used to," or something similar. He's got to appear positive, otherwise the fans would certainly get 'on his back.'

Please explain how am I "talking tripe" ?

Is Josh Auty technically witholding his services? If so, a 28-day ban could be forthcoming.

Yes. Opened up last season.

Bearing in mind it's taken this long to find 7 riders, where exactly are they to find a replacement?

2012 1st Leg Sheff 58 Diamonds 32. 2nd Leg Diamonds 62 Sheff 28. Diamonds won 94-86 on agg.

Wolves website: WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Luke Becker, Nick Morris, Ryan Douglas, Steve Worrall, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint, Joe Thompson (No.8).BIRMINGHAM: Chris Harris, Ashley Morris, Claus Vissing, Josh Auty, Ben Barker, James Shanes, James Pearson.

There appears to be some confusion!!! Anyway, either way, it didn't really add too much to the misery of the "disappointing" performance from ourselves on track. Incidentally, I haven't commented on the Roynon/Wilson-Dean incident as I genuinely didn't see it as I was filling in my programme at the time.

http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3123 See the bit which says "However, due to a prior league commitment in France this weekend, Birmingham have named Ben Morley as a member of their team for Saturday's (March 26, 7pm) Knockout Cup clash at Leicester."

Could have sworn Keith announced it as an interval. Apologies if incorrect.

Yes there was. After heat 12.
