Good points. It hasn’t stopped raining since yesterday afternoon so the call off is no surprise at Perry Barr. I’m just a couple miles away so no surprise. The NSS call off is more of a shock.

Perhaps Birmingham fans will confirm but I believe this is the last season the club can run at the stadium anyway?

Exactly. we know he only turns up for the glory of the play offs or those with lawyers.

Probably not to be seen again.

Lions should win by about 10

I went into the car park about 8pm on the way home from work before the Asda shut and yes there were plenty of cars there.

Close call probably 46-44 either way

Can’t imagine what a difficult thing that was to witness. I’ve seen the crash and it’s very traumatic.

Well yeah, but that’s why he is a high scoring reserve right now. I thought as much as well.

The Witches could hit 60 again.

Harris could still take 7 rides from other riders even with a high scoring number one. I personally don’t get this whole certain riders shouldn’t be in reserve viewpoint. Harris has the 6th lowest averaged rider in the Stars team so is absolutely entitled to that reserve position. It’s daunting for every other team and reserve of course it is. It’s not like the Stars have cheated . You could say they have been very savvy in getting such a strong rider in reserve however that will be the case every month. Is that fair? Of course it is! They have the weakest top end by a mile. Is that equally as unfair? For the Stars to succeed this season they will need solid contribution throughout the team and almost rely on the number 6 taking 6 to 7 rides every meeting. That’s their strength. I always believed that the rider at number one will make or break a meeting result for the Stars this season.

Lynn got caught out by not having a true number one and by the sounds of it some bad luck. We know the usual suspects will be gloating at the victory. Shame to hear of another injury. Hope things arent too bad for Ashton

It’s only ever a handful of posters with bloated egos that want to assert their dominance to be the first to post information. Most of us only care about how Woffy and his family are right now.

Absolutely dreadful crash, yet again the serious ones are always in Poland?? Cant help but feel for Tai, the season hasn’t even really turned many spokes yet. thoughts are with his family.

Should be an easy Stars win.

Crikey that’s embarrassing for the Aces.

Should be a routine home win, although early season can see some shock results!

And was a one track pony last time he rode competitively here for the Aces. his away average was around 5, which I’m expecting that to be near to his finishing average for this season.

And not surprisingly absent so far. 😆

56-34 to the Stars.

Close match with the Lions nicking it 42-48.

I will continue to use the one stop shopping centre when I go. Others have shared info about parking terms and opening times to park. i get the ‘official’ parking time only allows until 8pm which should rule out parking for the speedway. however if a 4 hour parking is allowed ( as stated on the signs) then what is to stop anyone going to the Asda at 6 or 7 (to get an official receipt) and parking till end of the match? As others have pointed out KFC is open after 8pm and the Gym is 24 hrs so people WILL park there officially after 8pm. Personally I see no issue with parking at 6.30 or 7pm, shop for a receipt and then use the 4 hr free parking line if challenged. i get that the club can’t and won’t promote the one stop as a parking place but as a customer (which you would be if you use the centre to purchase for a receipt) and more so if you get a KFC on the home after the match I can’t see how you would get a parking ticket that would be enforced.

But if there isn’t anywhere for excess cars to travel and park then people won’t bother and that then will affect the club. The home fans will always find somewhere to park but clubs need to ensure there is suitable parking for the travelling fans.

Don’t think anyone is linking him to the Brummies, certainly not in any official capacity. The problem with the UK leagues is that there isn’t an abundance of available riders wanting to race here. And he will be eligible to race again later in the year. Someone is bound to sign him.

I think both will do well to hold their averages. I hope for Birmingham I’m wrong. MJJ one of the most overrated riders in modern history. Never did much in the UK and never rode like a true heat leader. The team on paper looks better than last season.
