Can't see anything other than a hefty home win,This will be my second (unless rain intervenes) meeting of 2025 and both will have been against Birmingham.

You’d think something would have been invented to prevent riders having such poor visibility they have to remove their goggles altogether. Something I’ve seen more than a few times.  Is our lack of rain offs due to the construction and drainage at the new track or the wonderfully mild and dry weather in Manchester?

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-guide-birmingham-h/   Both teams “full strength”, for the moment at least. BSN streaming this one. Not the most attractive fixture with the result as near a home banker as you’ll see with all due respect. Let’s hope Birmingham bring their gating gloves and the Ipswich boys leave theirs at home.    At least those attending will get a little extra for their money. A second half of sorts, with the Billy Sanders “Champion of the evening”. Two heats and a final featuring the highest scorers from both sides. 40 years ago tomorrow we sadly lost Billy so always nice to see a memorial. His 1979 world final Weslake on display on the terraces amongst other memorabilia. 

Oh dear. Not been to a match being screened live (except BSN) for long time but past experience was that the fan on the terrace paying 30 plus quid for a night out was given no consideration by TV company. 

Good news it’s on TNT Sports 1 there main channel .

but surely they wont come into force until 1/5
