Birmingham v Leicester Premiership Monday April 28th


Recommended Posts

Would've thought that Dan Thompson/Zack Cook/Anders Rowe are all better options than Kerr....look at Kings Lynn...they call on Tom Brennan, a rider that's better than the one he's replacing!

Can understand a weaker/cheaper rider when away from home, but got to try and be as competitive as possible at home!

I think it is a reduced facility for Zagar.

If my maths are correct.. With Zagars +5 % for a home guest - 25%, It works out at 5.67 available. Thats if Brum get theĀ  +5% in this situation, otherwise it's 5.40 available. Z.Cook is 5.57. The others you mentioned fit. AdamĀ  Ellis is 5.47,Ā  would fit along with Cook if the extra +5% for a home guest applies.

I know Speedway often has daft rules, but I can't imagine there'll be a rule where you have to add 5% & subtract 25% to work out the average available for a guest.

I'd hazard a guess that the + 5% at home rule is only when a full facility is allowed.

I didn't know either. That's why i said "That's if Brum get the home +5% in this situation"

I just tried to explain.

I’ve long since given up trying to understand the rules, so thanks for at least giving it a go.

Many fans who can't go may be prepared to buy a delayed stream, but it certainly shouldn't be at full price.

I'm in Devon and I'm not buying a stream that doesn't start until the match is finished. I shall just get the heat results up on proboards for free!

Not sure any clubs do a cheaper option for delayed stream. You could purchase a stream and watch say at 10pm because you are out that evening, but you wouldn't get it any cheaper.Ā 

A few years ago BSN did a cheaper option if you bought a delayed stream but they don't do that now, assuming they lost too much money doing it and Birmingham need all the money they can get.Ā

Nope,but when you see there coverage of Moto GP,BSB and World Superbike you wonder why they bother with Speedway. Is there anybody else to step in when they pull the plug.?

They certainly have made some strange decisions regarding GP’s.

Exactly.Ā

Hoping a first win for Birmingham here but unless musielak and zagar turn up(zagar literally in his case)then I see liecester turning them over and it’s season Ā over really before the end of AprilĀ 

Been told Zagar is refusing to ride because he hasn't been paid, and it's not a visa issue. Not sure I believe it, but who knows...

Unfortunately it is not working at the moment. Technical issue they say.

What an improvement from Lions number 7 position! Gilkes won heat 2 and whenever he was behind he was always buzzing around his opponents back wheel... Lions now riding with the team they probably should have started with, should be good for 4th or 3rd in the league (injuries permitting)

Cracking ride from Musi in 15 šŸ‘Ā

Rumours like this need to be 100% before posting such allegations.
