After Ht8 it changes.. They then follow each other up near the fence rather than mid track. ๐ -

I would think Rybnik will have instructed him as to when he rides next.... Today would have been about Brady not letting the Aces down for a home match... -

BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL

Might be worth any riders at a loose end tonight to nip down to Brum with their bikes and Kevlar's... Might get a team place...๐ -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL
mikebv replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A decent "ish" crowd I would think as it is a BHM.. 700, 750 or even more?.. Most who were going to attend will go anyway, just to watch the racing.. The make up of the teams isn't a barrier to the die hard fans, as they are well used to "made up' meetings.. And a BHM usually attracts a few "extras" who visit now and again.. -

Plenty of street parking on the main road where the entrance is, but get there with at least an hour to spare. A few side streets leading off it too which are ok.. The school across the road runs a paid car park and within 5 mins walk there are lots of on street opportunities outside houses and shops.. Edit. The food van outside is pretty decent too, but does get very busy, so, the earlier you arrive, the more chance of getting a slot on the main road, and something to eat. Regards, Simon Calder . -
Kingโs Lynn 2024 serious team predictions

Gave him engines and mechanics, and also helped him with the mental side of the sport... Toughened him up a fair bit I would suggest... And, as for Brennan, decent progression this season.. A fair few average bashing Ht 15's yet has posted a decent figure, especially often carrying a poor team... -

And the issue such things happen is that these riders then get used again the following year... There is simply no deterrent at all... For some, getting a 28 day ban at this stage in the season is perfect as it means no risk of injury in the UK, which could impact where they earn the most, and also, risk the wrath of, particularly, their Polish employers.. "You won't do this again will you?" "No" "Good, here is your 2025 contract".. -
BIRMINGHAM v KING'S LYNN Mon 19th August PL
mikebv replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
100%.. In a sport that the "ultimate prize" delivers big financial rewards and publicity, I would expect minimal, (but still some), "controls" in place to keel things competitive.. With UK Speedway delivering neither of the above then there really is no point in having teams so unevenly matched from the onset, especially given the, (in reality for a professional sport), very low attendance levels that exist across the whole of the sport, even for "successful" teams.. Just a couple of hundred missing can have a huge impact given the low starting point, so maintaining competitive teams has to be the No1 priority of the sport, not who wins any title... NB: (But not maintaining competitive teams by all sharing each others riders in virtually every match, like is done currently, as that just ultimately adds to the missing crowd numbers)...
