You think they should start while people are still queuing to get in?

I think they should start at the official start time

We need rid of the journeymen

It’s painful listening to BSN trying to polish this turd

The sport in this country overall has become a total unpolishable turd sadly 

[gjcone44]

problem is they are the ones keeping British speedway going.

Lidsey is a gating tart unless he is at Belle Vue.. if he leads at Foxhall when he is there he is fast …. Doesn’t gate doesn’t try 

I would review your own teams' performance tonight first to be honest...

Apart from Danny King (not a gating tart and top scored by a long way), the rest are and they got whooped!!!!

[IainB]

4 points from 3 Foxes riders tonight!

Thomsons had 7 rides so they can use him in 15 which is a shame.  They will probably need to go with the two guests

Fully expect us to get beat easily at Belle Vue and Sheffield this year with our weaker 1-7

But still stand by my Lidsey comment

Kerr may have ridden himself into contention 

[chun]

They should sign Kerr

Have Birmingham morphed into Northampton and moved 40 miles east?

Much as I respect Kerr's grit from the terrible injuries he's had down the years we all know he's a million miles away from what they need but your right he will be what they get.

As I said earlier Brum 2025 are Cradley 1985 in comparison, its real shame as it looks like core crowds might have settled on a thousand with a team that could win at home.

To be fair not much the fellas running it could do, started late so left with the scraps and nobody half decent wants to ride over here. So there's really no one they can bring in who will make a material difference to the outcome. Sole bright spot is the form of Thomson great to see him stepping it up if he can avoid injury should have a great year ahead for him.

Without either a true No1 and a No5, they need five No3's....

Good luck with finding four more of them to add to Lidsey....

Kye was on fire

I'm pretty sure they announced over the PA that the ref was looking at a video replay.

They said on BSN he didn't watch it when he made his decision as replay wasnt available when riders still hurt on the track.

I thought he was offered a team place originally but turned it down?

Just back from the match and nice enough set up at Northampton.  Batchelor wasn't interested in the least and how the hell did Klindt get 18 last night. Lidsey is not a number 1. Kye Thomson 18+1 was brilliant.  Cooper Rushen is some talent going forward.

I was just behind the starting gate and it seemed like the track is a bit narrow off the 2nd and 4th bends?  Maybe I'm wrong.  Good crowd though and enjoyed it.  The crash happened right in front of me, but couldn't see what happened due to the safety fence.
