Lame ending on track for Brummies with the Bulls at Iwade this afternoon. Thank goodness for guest Ryan Ingram. Doubtful if some of their team should have taken part in a match where people paid to watch. 

I'm guessing you weren't there.

I used to play rugby at that very club on the map before the M42 was constructed😉The ground is called Portway.

So what would your thoughts be ? for sure it has not changed much except for the M42, the Rugby Clubhouse straight in front of you is probably still the same one as back then.

Anyone out there, especially old fartz looking for something to do this Saturday evening why not take a look

The Bikers Club house is on the right at The Portway and for £2 what's not to like ?.

It is a development league. Riders need time to develop.  The riders you saw are developing and can only get better by being given and taking their chances when they come. Yesterday you didn't see 4 birmingham riders because of various reasons (injury grasstrack working etc). I believe the riders you refer to , were due to guest for Kent last week at Plymouth until it rained. I'm afraid if you want to see the finished article,  you were at the wrong meeting.

Will stay home in the future. I accept your advice.

It's not advice. I'm just not sure what you were expecting.

Obviously, too much. I won’t be disappointed again.

There are/were 4 rugby pitches so space wouldn't be a problem,but whether it'd be a motorsport venue(Mike Hailwood,a motorsport legend was tragically killed very nearby back in 1981),i'm really not sure.🤔I don't know whether it's being looked at or considered for any development(Birmingham RFC merged with Solihull RFC many years ago,and Portway became an alternative rugby venue for the Bees).🤔Have fond memories at 16 years old of cycling through the leafy lanes to go training and then missing the last train home from Earlswood and end up cycling the rest of the way home.😄
