  1. This is taken from the official Birmingham site. read the third paragraph . Clearly states both riders are riding in their national championships. http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3076
  2. Their respective national championships. Not sure then why grobauer is out yet Riss is riding !!!
  3. Can anyone tell me what is the age, applicable to concessions tickets. is it 60 or, 65 please?
  4. Try for birmingham: harris mcDonald rider rep for shanes Morris riss Sarjant Flint As announced at Brum tonight Grobsuer snd Paco in the SON and Thomas injured
  5. You obviously haven’t seen Stephen whitehouse. Been around ages and getting markedly worse every season. Will never make a speedway rider. embarrassing to watch him struggle so badly.
  6. Graham Drury has just done an interview and congratulated the Brummies on producing , quote : “ a superbly prepared track tonight “.
  7. Absolutely nothing wrong with the track Brummies had gated. Nielsen tried to go around Grobauer going into bend four, lap one, but clipped his back wheel with both rocketing into the fence. Purely a racing accident.
  8. Nielsen us at six tonight as cook has been given his new average this afternoon surprisingly!!!
  9. Come out if one stop car park, on to the main road. Turn left. Walk about 300 yards to the traffic light /crossing. Cross the road then walk back towards one stop. Follow the pavement around to the left at the roadworks, directly opposite the one stop entrance. stadium car park/ entrance is 100 yards on your left. itwill take you no more than 10 minutes. the stadium car park was rammed very early last week and the gates closed . Best to park in one stop. It is safe, secure parking with cctv
  10. I think you will find it’s more about him reportedly using the Gerhaart engine which doesn’t seem competitive
  11. Can’t believe Batchellor got away with thst one, it was blatant!!!
  12. Thank you for making the effort to support the club tonight and travelling such a distance to do so. the same sentiment goes out to all fans from other clubs who did the same it is genuinely much appreciated
  13. Becsuse his German team rides in the Polish lower leagues snd their home matches are on a Friday. Ridiculous him being in our team when he’s not available for meetings
  14. 1: 61.81 2: 60.71 3: 61.03 4: 60.91 5: 60.53 6: 60.47 7: 60.63 8: 61.41 9: 61.25 10: 59.91 11: 60.69 12: 60.62 13: 60.61 14: 61.59 15: 61.32
  15. I’d say the crowd was nearer 400. The word I’m getting is that the new stadium owners ( could be via the new manager), are making life almost impossible for the Mason’s who turn up each week dreading what new, unexpected problem they have to deal with this week
  16. The crowd level last night was dreadful not being helped by the stadium owners yet again deciding at the vey last minute to ban people bringing food and drink into the stadium (on one if the hottest days of the year). Led to queues at the entrance snd some very unhappy customers . They then closed the food outlet before the interval. !!!!! Note to the owners Your bar prices are horrendous. Your food is very poor quality snd, very expensive.  I CALL ON ALL FANS TO BOYCOTT BOTH THE BAR AND THE FOOD OUTLET IN PROTEST. This is the fault of the stadium owners snd is being done without consultation with the Mason’s but, it is alienating fans .  if this continues, this will be our last season there were plenty of new faces there last night BUT these gains were negated by the fact that so many of the regular fans, just were not there  I stress, it is the stadium owners who are making life almost impossible for the Mason’s who are operating with their hands tied behind their backs because of this . I can see them giving up snd walking away , just like many of the fans are doing . That first night is costing us dear but, many of the problems on the night, were caused by the stadium owners coming up with unhelpful snd, ridiculous edicts at the last minute, without consulting the owners As I said, the crowd was dreadful last night which is a pity because apart from the dust, the track was excellent . The racing and team performance was superb Hope I’m wrong but I worry this is looking like it could be our last season time to get a track going at the wheels project before it’s too late and we fold yet again

  18. Coming from the midlands, you do not cross the bridge the track is literally adjacent to the main road. you gi down the A38 until you come to a roundabout where there is a premier inn. If you were to turn left it takes you to Plymouth town centre via the A374 You turn tight at the roundabout onto the B3416.Turn left near the McDonald’s onto coypool road following the signs for the park snd ride You can park there for free snd it’s s two minute walk to the stadium or, when 200 yards from the park snd ride, follow the road around to the right and under the bridge. Track 400 yards down this road. I’d park in the stadium. It’s only £2 snd you just walk into the seating area excellent viewing from either main stand, back straight or bends 3/4 Worth paying the extra to sit in the main stand. Enjoy your trip
  19. Slick slick slick snd even more slick !!!! snd very dusty. no grip or drive whatsoever smooth as a babies bum but, …… ABSOLUTELY CRAP !!!!! Thsts not an excuse for the result. Scunthorpe out gated us and outride us all night. Well done Scunthorpe. Deserved winners.
  20. Sorry yearbyred. It was very late in the night when I wrote that so was half asleep. !!! You are correct , my apologies. original post edited fact is, it was a cracking meeting on a brilliantly prepared race surface. A bit is spice along the way to keep us entertained snd, give us things to debate. a very fair snd balanced match report on the Bests official site. hope Jordan Jenkins is back ASAP.
  21. Very honest comments from both yearbyred and, Bearlt. As a Brummies fan, I totally agree that Wright got away with knocking Schlein off in heat 13 snd, that it was the correct decision to also exclude Bomber in the heat 13 rerun. Yes, the 5-1 allowed us to bring in Harris as a tac sub in heat 14 so yes, it did somewhat level it out but the fact that the heat 13 crash kept Schlein out of heat 15, hurt our chances and in my opinion, cost us League points On top of that, I felt Jenkins was very lucky not to be excluded for bringing down Nielsen in their first clash !!! also hest 13 meant Schlein was injured snd unable to come out in heat 15 which was a double whammy snd the difference between getting one match point snd possibly sll three points. Have to say, it was a cracking meeting on a cracking race surface with a very friendly set of home fans. it would have been very unjust if we hadn’t got something out of the meeting. a thoroughly enjoyable night of Speedway Loads of praise for how well both Drew kemp rode as a guest for Redcar as his scoring (other than that controversial heat 13), turned out to be the difference snd, also great praise to Stefan Nielsen who rode well as a guest for us
  22. We sat one yard, first bend side of the finish line and I was convinced Danyon has nicked it on the line. I was shocked the referee awarded third place to the Plymouth rider !!!!
