Great to see Cookie got a full five ride Max... Surprisingly not been mentioned by those who are somewhat more prone on here to giving him grief....

Of course, it's terrible when someone uses their knowledge to make a post, as opposed to just blurting out nonsense...

What a great Speedway meeting! If you didn't like that I really don't know why you watch Speedway at all, it had everything, great racing, close scoreline, last heat decider, drama in the last race and a victory for the underdog. You can compare it to Poland until the cows come home but you're comparing Premier League football to the Championship. That was a great advert for the sport in this country

You can sit there getting all worked up that it’s not like the Ekstraliga but you are just kidding yourself if you think British speedway will ever be at that level again, just enjoy it for what it is, some good racing and something to watch on a Monday night And by the way, I’ve watched plenty of crap meetings from Poland.

Lots of positives tonight for British speedway. A well prepared track close meeting throughout and good racing to go along with it.

That’s the spirit.

The stadium was full!

Well done Birmingham, thought it was a very good meeting, plenty of close racing, some decent passes and a close finish. Fully deserved victory.

Decent nights entertainment that

Justice there. Actually really enjoyed that one tonight. Always makes it better when the underdog comes out on top. Brilliant. For Belle Vue, that was abysmal

Brum deserved that win tonight. Showed a lot of fight throughout the meeting with various riders stepping up.

My expectations were low after the reports on here of the first home meetings but this has been very enjoyable, Brum has always been a decent race track. The Brummies have showed plenty of fight, effort and determination but ultimately are probably going to fall short in heat 15 against BV's top end power.

UK Speedway is not in competition with any foreign league speedway. Fans watch/attend or not. UK attendances are reportedly increasing despite in some cases racing in dilapidated Stadia so the actual racing is clearly offering something that fans want. It's still 4 riders for 4 laps x 15. What's not to like!

Same. A fair share of meetings are dross in Poland due to how unbalanced the league is imo.

Don’t think I’ll get to see the end of this. I asked the pub to put it on but it’s not going down well with the regulars and tbh I can’t argue with their criticisms. Zzzzzz It’s now off, in favour of music videos. Updates for me then.

BBC garbage forecasts

I think you'll find she is I speedway because she wants to race and has demonstrated sufficient ability and achievements to progress in her chosen sport.

Pretty negative comments there Hawk. Most posters on here, including me, seemed to enjoy the meeting. Close racing, a fair amount of passing and the meeting went right down to the wire. Plus the underdogs won. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Well done Birmingham. Nice to see a struggling team win a meeting. Seen that plenty over the years with Lynn. Only down side is your above us

certainly encourages you to make a journey to perry bar. i was impressed by the poles and the brum team in general

Thought that was a good watch tonight. Lots of passing and a last heat decider with drama that saw the underdog picking up a win.

Pawlicki did ‘a Nicki Pedersen’ slightest of criticism touches and dropped it.

Get in brummies boy did those fans need that!

Fair call imo,but once the ref come to that conclusion the race should be awarded as Brennan was in a different post code to Bewley.

Surely that should be awarded??

Pawlicki chucked the bike down.

I think there’s been some good racing.

Not a bad meeting I've watched some cracking Polish meetings but seen some rubbish as well

I sm watching on Eurosport and I would say the coverage leaves a lot to be desired BSN coverage of meetings is far better

Birmingham 42 - 48 Belle Vue Just can't see Birmingham winning this one.

Can only see a win for the Aces by 10+ points, hope I'm wrong, as I don't want to see Birmingham struggle to finish the season.

Have you been talking to Buster by any chance.

Gutted to be out didn’t expect Woffinden to win but thought he d make the semifinals easily how wrong can you get a very poor performance from him well done and good luck to everyone still in thanks for running the competition again R/R pity I couldn’t stay in a little longer

Possibly. Guess it depends who he wants to take a booking from. Although given he scored paid 12 at Ashfield last week, he might think that's the best prospect. I'm sure the promotion would've at least had a chat with him after last Friday's meeting. There were definitely people telling Cami to get it done!

I think the dragging out of the disciplinary hearing for Lee has now become more relevant with Ace out. Would guess our promotion will be onto the SCB to move this on quicker now we are in the position off having no reserves.

Need heat 1 at 7.30 then & not 7 50 like most Tv matches cut the inane chat & adverts.

Big bubba from cell block 3 is probably missing him

There no one in Poland wanting him.He must be wanting more than he is worth.Not sure about double figures over here.

im looking forward to seeing them around belle vue. Brennon has made big improvement, he must be looking forward to race there again.

Well done Brummies, well deserved.

Kurtz is one to talk about putting bike down lol! Was no room there had to go

Anyone who follows polish speedway will be fully aware of the pawlicki brothers, “ getting knocked off “ and getting a rerun

We'll have to flip a coin and see who goes through at this rate. Or rock, paper, scissors

The NSSC are hosting a special event on Tuesday 7th May at the Brandon Club. Starting at 8pm, Paul Ackroyd, David Norris and Gary Havelock will be discussing the work of the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund. Although at times it is a solemn but necessary subject there will be plenty of opportunity for David & Gary to entertain the audience with tales of past adventures. It promises to be a great event with all proceeds for the SRBF. Everyone welcome only £4 entry. All details here; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk

I'm surprised EUROSPORT/DISCOVERY haven't worked out some sort of deal to show Polish matches on British TV tbh considering how high they are on Motorsport in general.

http://scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=16852 2nd n 3rd paras confirm was signed to NDL side so was eligible to guest for champ side.

An upgrade on Kerr and seems to have found his love for the sport again, flying for the comets.

I can't see Lambert having the same set-up as in the KO Cup last year!!

Why bring me into this? It's a topic about Workington and Scunthorpe? You seem obsessed with me, do I need to take out a restraining order?
