Bad news then, B*yawn*e top scored last night (of those mentioned).

You'd rather see Harris or Nicholls at reserve for the Panthers? They're level 4th & 5th in the averages 0.17 above Andersen. B*yawn*e is a further 0.04 in front of them.

Tatum spent almost all of heat 8 referring to one of the Belle Vue riders as Pickering.

The cameras are missing all the action, so infuriating.

Last few heats have been brilliant.

You'll do well to see a better heat than heat 7 anywhere.

Leszno can be good, Gorzow isn't often great unless Zmarzlik misses the start.

Lublin have an unassailable lead now it seems, watched up to heat 8. Thought Birkemose exclusion was harsh & Jasinski/Buczkowski decision was correct but could have gone the other way Vaculik & Wozniak are definitely not looking 100% fit.

Dunno on Greaves, rode at Owlerton Thursday, BSPA site doesn't give reason for guest replacement.

Wasn't expecting the Brummies to get a draw, but reading updates looks like they should have got a win, R/R for Grobauer was always going to be a bonus.

Transfer deadline was last Saturday wasn't it?

Thought about going tonight glad I didn't by the sound of it. Week to forget for the Ace's.

Looks a painful watch for any attending Witches fans. Hope Panthers don't plan to use Jorgensen & Riss as guests at Monmore!

So Gorzow back to full strength. Doubt whichever reserves they use will do much against Lampart & Cierniak.

That's a remarkable recovery. Hope he isn't rushing back. Wozniak ridden at all recently or is it his comeback also?

R/R for Vaculik I assume?

Thomas was very tentative in heat 2.

Riss passed Schlein, it wasn't a typical night, everything seemed subdued after the heat 1 incident.

LOL! James Shanes is a gating tart, that's a good one. Best one I've heard this year!

There is usually more of an atmosphere, the hour of waiting around after the Nielsen/Grobauer crash sucked the life out of everyone. Should have go to Manchester Monday Morning, that was a blinder!

Cook has new average, after 4 meetings home & away apparently. 5.85. No. Squeaky voiced annoying ginger Middleditch was interviewed at the scene of the world worst 500cc "contest"

It didn't matter, Morris & Castagna getting a 5-1 in heat 14 meant Brummies had won. 2 points first two rides, 3 riders, ahead of the generally appalling Grobauer. 2 points in heat 10, beat Cook, Thomas packed up at the gate. If Brummies had a savvy team manager Castagna might have given Worrall something to think about in that heat. Bike quit in heat 13 chasing the uninterested Schein. Much improved in heat 15 when it was all over.

Give them chance to get home, they've probably only just made it to the M5 considering how bad the traffic is around Perry Barr with the Commonwealth Games infrastructure upgrades.

A generally appalling advert for Speedway, any newcomers tonight (and the crowd was better than the last few weeks) won't be in a hurry to return, couldn't really be helped by the hour plus delay following the heat 1 coming together of Nielsen & Grobauer. Speedy recovery for Nielsen. Haven't been feeling great and almost didn't go tonight, I wish I hadn't! The M6 was much improved on the way there compared to recent weeks but again down to one lane after Wednesbury where I decided to get off. Hats off to Danny King, two superb first corner moves to get the better of Harris & Riss who'd got the better of him out the gate in his first two rides, an excellent pass of Morris in this third ride and a dominant heat 13 win. That was the only pass of the night aside from Riss getting the better of a generally uninterested looking Schlein in heat 13. Can't believe it's the same rider as I saw on Monday at the NSS, was he under power when heat 1 was halted, maybe, if he was he was going very slow! Not at all interested in chasing anyone in his second & third rides Couldn't see a great deal wrong with the track if I'm honest but the Poole riders seemed to insist there was and the tractor went to work on bends 3 & 4. About what any regular Perry Barr attendees would expect from the Brummies septet except for Harris who looked slow on the bike that gave up in heat 13, was much quicker on the bike he used in heat 15. Thomas had a good outing in heat 8 but that was it. Castagna only dropped points to King & Worrall. Morris & Shanes improved after conceding a 1-5 in their opening ride. Grobauer beat no-one, may have injury affected following fall but I doubt it, that's about all I expect from him. For Poole, Worrall was good, the very busy Hume had the beating of Thomas but no other Brummie but did at least he gave Shanes & Morris something to think about in heat 5 and Cook did nothing after an impressive opening ride. Who knows what the result would have been if Nielsen hadn't got injured or if Poole had named a #8 so didn't have to go with 3 riders in several heats but they could still have won if Schlein had shown the form he showed on Monday.

Perhaps Harris should have used the bike he rode in heat 15 earlier, the bike he rode in his previous outings that gave up in heat 13 was nowhere near that quick!
