Disappointing crowd, Grandstand half full. Back straight sparse. Poland walking it, far too quick out the gate. Bewlay & Lambert might edge us into second over the Danes.

Much more comfortable home win for Pirates than I expected. Holder was almost laughably hopeless.

Pirates v Indians. Good stuff. Heats 4 & 9.

Haha. Nope bad maths! Edited.

Hard to call that Thursday fixture. R&R, are you getting a bit miffed about SportoweFakty streaming meetings you're paying a subscription for?

Didn't get home in time to watch it if there was a stream Get night for Robert Lambert looking at results, dropped by Rospiggarna who get destroyed at home. Scores 13+1 on debut for Lejonen admittedly at home to the weakest team in the league.

Are sportwoefacty streaming a meeting?

Michelsen £50 more. Smektala £40 more. Lambert £20 more. Woryna £20 more. Lindback £30 less. Hampel £20 less. Milik £20 less.

Kings Lynn would have got 65 if Broc Nicol had been fit.

Holder was decent, I'll grant you. Klindt was very tentative, no intrest in actually racng & Grajczonek only turned up for his last two rides. If I were a Pugwasher I'd be happier with the efforts of Summers & Newman than Klindt. They may have been outclassed for the most part but they never gave up.

Pretty dreadful track, pretty dreadful Pirate effort.

Klindt looked back & just watched Ross pass from about 4 bike lengths back.

Poland could put 2 teams out and get silver & gold. Denmark would get Bronze. I loved the Speedway World Cup but I can't see it making a return while Poland are so far ahead of everyone else.

Tuned in for another Poole win, 3 on the trot! Must be saving the Pugwashers some petrol money.

Only saw first 8 heats as had plans Saturday night, are the remaining 15 heats worth watching. Seen the result.

I thought all guests were paid a standard rate based on points/rides. Agertoft did OK considering he'd (probably) never seen a British track before, can't comment on Thomsen as I never saw him.

Fag would be Ok, dirty great Cigar miffed me.

Yeah next time I'll make sure I take a bottle of water with me. Speaking of water, track needed more early on. Very dusty heats 5 & 6. They graded the track before heat 3 but no water. Heat 8 was probably the nail on the Brummies coffin. Poorest ride for each Brummie, only decent result for each visiting rider. Was overall disappointed with Vissing, expected more.

Decent meeting, better than I expected after being a season ticket holder 07-09 & from reading match reports on here. Heats of note. 7. Jensen gated & was gone, Brummies hold 2nd & 3rd but neither ride wider than mid-track. May as well of got a Wile-E-Coyote style sign post with "overtake here" pointing at the outside, which Starke duly did. 10. Jensen touches tapes goes off 15m. With debutant Agertoft having his (obligatory?) third ride & considering how quick Jensen had looked I thought he'd catch his fellow Dane by the end of the first lap. Agertoft had taken a couple of laps to get going in his first two outings but once going seemed on the pace. Not the case this time, gated on front of Starke & it was his fellow Tiger who Jensen reeled in. I do wonder if this was a savvy tactical move so Brummies couldn't use Ellis as a Tac Sub replacing R/R Aarnio in the next heat!.Speedway skullduggery at its finest! 11. Perks makes a good cut back on turn 2 to pass Sarjeant down the back straight on final lap . Sarjeant then fell on his own. Shame Perks bike didn't work in his 2nd & 3rd outings. Had I been Brummies team manager I would not have increased his pay with an Aarnio R/R ride! 12. Probably the best race. Bickley riding mid track can't resist Castagna on the white line (barley ventured far from it all night) or Shanes on the outside and Bickley is passed by both Brummies exiting turn 2 on lap 3. 13. Cook riding wide passes Ellis on the inside with ease after a couple of laps Congratulations to Glasgow, too much firepower for Birmingham & deserved all 4 points. With a full septet maybe Brummies could have won. Added bonus, took a whole 12 minutes to get home, probably less time than I spent sat at the Scott Arms junction on the way. Sour taste. £2.40 for a bottle of water. Had it been blessed by the Pope? Has the centre green always been higher than the track? Very odd. Greyhound start gate ruins the view on the flat exiting turn 4, dudes smoking cigars ruins the air on the elevated section on the same bend. Off to apply the missus after sun!

Well I made it. I'm glad I remembered my cap & shades. The Scott Arms junction is still as horrible as I remember. And no I couldn't remember how to get on the One Stop Car Park, thank god for Sat Nav. Good contingent of traveling fans by the tapes. Not as busy as I recall but 10 mins to go.

BIRMINGHAM: Adam Ellis, Nick Agertoft, Paco Castagna, Ellis Perks, Tero Aarnio R/R, Danyon Hume, James Shanes. GLASGOW: Craig Cook, James Sarjeant, Rasmus Jensen, Paul Starke, Claus Vissing, Connor Bailey, Kyle Bickley.

GB v Germany for Wooden Spoon it is.

Watched one on laptop, the other on phone. Glad Rospiggarna proved me wrong.

Bewley will have to be allot quicker around the NSS than he was for BV last night.

Well I do not know which Danish club Ellis represents. But from what I can gather on Metal League website there is only one fixture on Wednesday. Esbjerg v Fjelsted. Edit. Ellis appears to ride for Grinsted.
