Always had a lot of time for Tom, he seems to ride well on pretty much every track - he is a great signing!!

Given the home perfomance this was much better from the Brummies, looks like Rew is having a decent start to the season, will be keeping tabs on him this year!

Bloody hell - that’s impressive

Possibly Kurtz to my mind - he is good if he gets out of the gate but he will have one off gate 4 ar least!

or painful! I reckon Brum and Oxford could well be battling for the wooden spoon, both will be out of the cup this week! Looking at the Birmingham side they have packed it with too many journeymen.

Given that statistically it's a 1 in 7 chance to win the title now and has been for the last few seasons - it should be nearer double that 😉 anyway back to the match....

He was good at Sheffield - i suspect (know) its more like a Polish track than Birmingham is!! Lets hope for Birminghams sake it was first meeting rustiness as to have another under performing Polish heat leader would seem like carelessness!

maybe so but one result doesn't a season make and all that - but cracking start and advantage witches for sure! Won't be down for this but will be keeping tabs - best of luck to Tom B on his home 'debut' he weighed in with a decent score last night also!

Jenkins used to ride at Peterborough and in my opinion is good on the bigger bowl like tracks. There is a video of him riding in 2023 for Peterborough v Sheffield and he is blasting round beating a lot of supposidly better riders.

Ellis was really good at Foxhall - if he got out of the gate he was often away - he also pickled up a fair few 5-1s with his partner. His injury hampered the Witches as well in my view. Everyone will feel confident but the Witches lost 2 times to BV at home in 2023 i think it was so no room for complacency!! I do expect a home win however - Kurtz will be the top man for BV.

Deleted as duplicated!

Good start but means nothing yet! A strong all round performance from the witches however! Have a hope / feeling Danny will be great at no2!

I do sometimes but that's due to the number on the backs not always being clear - to me its seems obvious to have riders number and name on the back just like in other sports - the days of me knowing which rider was which by leathers, sponsors and bike covers are long gone.

Must admit I found the move to race suits very good - it not like they are charging £200 quid for replica race suits for the fans is it!

It's encouraging - if Ipswich are to finally bag that first title since 98 they will need Jason back to his very best!

Kurtz is usually decent at Foxhall if he gets out of te gate e is difficult to get past - he's beaten by Jason and Emil in the last couple of years. I think Zach Cook had a really good meeting for Wolves as well a couople of years ago at reserve scored 10+ i think.

For those that might be interested - As an ex sky subscriber I get come back to sky offers all the time - just had one via NOWTv - £19.99 per month for full sky sports for a year! I imagine similar offers might be floating around for others!

less teams for a start but a lot of chat probably migrated onto facebook / twitter etc. Also in the PL the sides were largely sorted before Cmas - I dont recall that being so 20 odd years ago, my team used to annouce their team quite late in the late 80s to 00's often almost as the season was starting - so there would always be plenty to talk about over the winter

I often by the star in Tescos - this happened to me - not bought it for a while for various reasons, but it wouldn't scan for me - easily fixed by manually entering the barcode number etc. I imagine this is a tesco issue however!

if you say so! I really cant be bother to argue over it, i think most know my team folded - when i play sport I was and still am still as competitive as everyone, but i also understand any team i 'support' have no right to win you have to earn it, getting annoyed at your team losing seems about as much use as hating a desert cos it has sand in it! When my football team lose and of late they have lost a lot it really doesn't ruin my weekend or life, it annoys me - i dont like them losing - sometimes i won't watch the highlights as I dont want to see how badly or how unlucky they might have been. But it doesnt annoy me to the point of ruining my weekend and demanding everyone be sacked or replaced or whatever.

Its not really up to anyone to decide who is a true fan or not, each to their own isn't it! Some 'true' fans baffle me by not attending very regularly, if at all, yet having their say but there you go. Lets hope Jason and Emil are able to pick up where they left off here in the UK after their injuries, I would expect a BV win here. Both sides should, if injuries avoided etc, be in the Grand final come Sept /Oct.

Welcome - I am going to activate mine in April as my offer is good until 30th that way if the playoffs get rain delayed at all I have Oct covered

Just had a half price TNT on Discovery+ offer £15.49 for 7 months before it reverts to £30.99 after this will see me through this season so tempted to take it for what amounts to a extra tenner This offer is good until April 30t btw!

How many times did I walk through that container - a lot! Very sad!

I admit I was not aware - but i think this is now part of the issue so many channels and you really can't keep up with who owns what channels and where TV shows are going to feature! A good example of this is the Championship and L1 and L2 football highlights that have switched channels a few times over the years. I no longer use my old sky box to view live TV although I still have it - i stream 99% of what I watch so i suppose Quest is yet another App I will have to get - thanks for tip - altho i wonder if that highlights show will run in 2025! Edit: seems I can get Quest on the Discovery+ app
