therefused Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 To be honest I don’t really care about the second half at all. It’s clear that Doyle and Emil just didn’t fancy it, the meeting preview didn’t mention bonus points but everyone is quick to defend them for some reason. There must be one Ipswich fan that can hold their hand up and admit that they couldn’t be bothered to ride in it without making up excuses for them. bonus points weren’t mentioned at all, until funnily enough the match report. This is the wording from the preview. The format of the second half will be as per the below. Heat 1 RED Ipswich Highest Scorer BLUE Birmingham Third Highest Scorer WHITE Ipswich Fourth Highest Scorer YELLOW Birmingham Second Highest Scorer Heat 2 RED Birmingham Highest Scorer BLUE Ipswich Third Highest Scorer WHITE Birmingham Fourth Highest Scorer YELLOW Ipswich Second Highest Scorer Also find it very ironic that a certain Ipswich fan is the only one name calling yet think they are the victim. Sensitive bunch in Suffolk… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensitive bunch in Suffolk… Boring now you quite clearly just want to argue for arguments sake Bonus points were announced all the way through the meeting You clearly show the format in your post…. It neither states whether bonus points counted or didn’t … the fans were told at the start and all the way through As I said if Doyle and Emil did score higher and didn’t ride you could have a reason to debate it … fact is they didn’t and only 1 of 3 could do it and as told on here Doyle had crashed earlier so offered to do heat 15 instead But I guess in your world you thought the whole crowd must have been upset before heat 1 when told bonus points would count… laughable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither the promotion or the broadcaster should be advertising it as the “top 4 scorers from each team”. Before a wheel was even turned tonight it was pretty obvious that Emil, Doyle and MJJ would be 3/8 top scorers and paying fans would be expecting to see them come out in the event. It’s pretty poor all round from my perspective. But Thompson scored the same as both Doyle and Emil as it included bonus points and was from for programmed riders only. Think it was only MJJ who was a no show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Think you will find when they had heat 15 highest scorers race that programmed rides including bonus points counting to who could ride in that heat so if someone scored 7+4 and someone scored 10+0 the former was a higher scorer, the same as for the Billy Sanders memorial. So put a end to all this drivel as this was to remember a great man. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 If Emil and Jason had ridden, there would be those that would argue that they should have given the youngsters a chance. Some just like to troll and be argumentative. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I did wonder why I was brought into the conversation 🤪 , AND if I'd known where Rory was doing the commentary from he might have got one but as he made his own at the start of the meeting tbh didn't give it another thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the management that have seen Birmingham finish bottom season after season? This is why some clubs never achieve anything of note, because some fans couldn't care less about winning. They do the same old line ' I'm just glad we've got speedway', so your happy to watch your team lose every single week then? It's honestly the worst excuse ever. Birmingham are how not to run a speedway club and assemble a team. They lost to Ipswich last night and didn't put up much of a fight, only a few riders can say they really tried. Everyone is going to be beaten by the witches but that doesn't mean you seriously defend riders like Tobias? Seriously this guy has an over 8pt average ! I always try to be positive when my team lose, but there are times you've got wake up and smell the coffee and say what's really happening. It's not good enough. On 4/25/2025 at 9:57 AM, Gert Handbag said: At least they have management who are prepared to lose thousands a year in order to give the speedway fans of the West Midlands a product. Those of us who used to follow Cradley, Coventry and Wolves can only dream of having a team riding in our name who are so crap that they lose every week to a teams that have 2 GP stars in their team. Next year in all likelihood the Brummies will be gone as well. No teams left in what used to be the heartbeat of British speedway. You should be careful what you wish for - it could be your team next. Good reply. There are many fans without a team that would love to be able to say “I’m just glad we’ve got speedway”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that way....but after 4/5 seasons of 'cr#p', personally, I wouldn't miss not having speedway at PB anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
