As you stated, you weren't there 🙄 I was stood on the first turn and to be fair it was pretty difficult to see what was going on on bends 3/4 by the end of the meeting. Why on earth they let tracks get like that is beyond me and Brum are not the only culprits. Something else I noticed, from memory only Wiktor Lampart, Richard Lawson and maybe Drew Kemp came around for applause during the meeting, prior to Lions snatching victory in the final race.

One advantage for Freddie would be he won't have to race at Perry Barr and if Ipswich did have him to guest I am sure he will fly around Belle Vue or Sheffield.

He scored 7 from 5 rides including two duck eggs around the NSS a couple of weeks back. He looked far quicker there in the Speedway of Nations though so you have to ask the question, how much is he putting in to the league meetings for Birmingham? He now has an actual average of 7 and a half, pretty poor for a rider of his quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed the Witches have an excellent top two but I think many would have also expected Freddie to be up around the 9 point mark which would bring him very close JD. At the moment Freddie is averaging nearer to 8 but that might move up a bit in Birmingham’s remaining four matches, two of which are against the Witches! As you say he would be very welcome at Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 13, 2024 Report Share Posted August 13, 2024 The plan was as of a couple of weeks ago, that Lindgren would be guesting for Doyle for both Cup final legs and all play off meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am told they allowed the Leicester track curator to do all the track grading during the interval after heat 11, Is it purely coincidence that a Leicester rider won 3 of the last 4 races after the interval 🤔🤔 Absolute foolish from Birmingham. If I was a Brummies fan I would be asking serious questions of my promotion for allowing this to happen. Do you really believe the Track Grade altered the result.Personally I don’t.

If he guested riding with Emil, he will put the effort in although Bewley and Kurtz are quite good at their home track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Brummies fan I would be asking serious questions of my promotion for allowing this to happen. To correct you, I am the track curator in question, I went as a spectator, just to watch the meeting, I arrived about 5pm straight from work with no intention of doing anything, the track was being watered at that time, nearer to start time it was clearly drying out fast, it was also clear it would need watering during the meeting, you can not put water on a slick part of the track as it makes it like ice, as john was on his own I offered to help if needed, I graded after ht4, ht,7 ht11, so I find your accusation that I had an influence on the out come of the meeting offensive. I was told the track had been constantly been watered from Sunday, and all throughout Monday, I would also add many track curators know each other and it's not unusual for them to help each other out from time to time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
