I'm guessing you weren't there.

As I said that is his opinion. There were many others who put hours of their time and energy into birmingham speedway who have now walked away also with dignity quietly.

I know its just your opinion and you don't have to like who does what but to leave off your list the people you don't care about or like is an incomplete list .

Perry barr track always came to life after it had rained.

Absolutely correct, counts for nothing. Where have you been for the last 6 seasons?

And that was just the women.

You think there will be 7 riders in a team next season?

The playoffs draw will be decided by whichever teams the the mickey mouse tv channel wants them in.

Devide that by 6 to work out tomorrow's score !!

So what are going to get this week? Is Barker going to be fit, will the rest of the team show some effort, will the team manager demand that the crowd get covered in dust and a blue groove appears before heat 4, or something else.

He was probably the only one who wanted to ride. Most of the test of them are a complete waste of time.

Depends on which club is asking.

But it won't be. I expect Ipswich to win but not by 60+. Not sure if Barker is riding ?

You assume the track owner /landlord wants speedway or has enough days on his planning permission. Also most bangers racing is run with steel armour type fences which have to be covered with airfences and on the straight wooden fences. You then need a full time track staff to do this this work or volunteers, which I think has been covered extensively elsewhere on this forum.

And everyone will be pleased to see that TNT/ BSPL has also dumped birmingham so that if you want to watch them, you will have to attend the stadium.

A PR stunt by ARC to tell everyone where their new track is.

The stadium staff stopped doing anything for speedway , the day ARC took over.

Track curators are paid licenced staff.

The greyhound staff do nothing towards speedway. In fact they mostly make it more difficult.

Only an observation

Darry Ritchings ?

Save your money, don't go to belle vue, stay in Birmingham and support the future riders.

You are right but, no volunteers, no flag marshals, start marshals,pit marshals, ticket sellers,no gate operators and many other jobs such as laying sheets on a dog track,painting kick boards,cleaning air fence, sweeping pit/cleaning changing rooms and toilets. I'm sure I've missed a few, however the jobs listed are done by a small band of die hards who can only do so much. Sometimes when it's very hot or in a holiday season those few become less. If it wasn't for volunteers British Speedway would have closed years ago.

Nice to see his son is much better.
