I think it's in the best interest of Birmingham Speedway/Owner's/management to get something out there publicly re: the line-ups ? You can't expect people to turn up not knowing who's going to be riding? We need something 'Official' and legitimate!?

Oh no......it's turning in to another 'circus' .....drives you mad !

May be flashing green lights to start with.....give riders a few seconds to respond and then take action ? Something needs to be in 'black/white' with no scope for discretion of the referee ! Then I also think that a rider should be allowed to start off a handicap as in league racing....not many fans want to see a reserve rider take anybody's place? We pay good money and I expect to see the best!

Absolutely spot on ! Forget all this nonsense debate about the if's /but's, why's/wherefore's etc etc etc..... The Green lights should have been put on ! As soon as the 2 mins clock has run down, the green lights should go on and away we go! The referee was still a cheat....imo!

Never going to be a classic on a track as tricky/dire as Wolverhampton!

Like you say...it should be a cracking meeting, especially if last season's Tony Mole farewell is anything to go by? I think the Mason's are realistic and will understand the lack of interest due to recent injuries (especially to Tom....) It's getting colder too : ) might have to take this one inside tonight : ) LOL

I'm glad that the best team won last night( happy to see any team lose that Ellis Perks rides for )....but sad to see the demise of Cradley....hate to see any team fold, Will miss the atmosphere that only a local derby can create!

WEDNESDAY'S TEAMS (in alphabetical order)BIRMINGHAM: Adam Ellis, Dany Gappmaier, Jason Garrity, Sam Masters, Ashley Morris, James Shanes.PETERBOROUGH: Ben Barker, David Howe, Simon Lambert, Ulrich Ostergaard, Paul Starke, Jordan Stewart Shame about the injuries depleting the original line-up and the absence of 'Bomber'......but still a far better line-up than what we've been used to this season. Hoping that a good turn out can influence our managements plans for next season.

Which seems to be common practice these days ! Commenting on 'Simmo' as a rider ? pure class ! After reading his auto biography, it appeared that he led a colourful life... causing a few controversies on and off the track along the way, but again, nothing out the ordinary these days! Nobody's perfect!

Its riders 'fannying' around after a false start that need disciplining....not riders on the track building up the crowd's anticipation ??? The Polish referee is a 'CHEAT' and he should be banned!

Would have liked to have seen what a full strength Mildenhall team could/would have done? Officially it's a farce....but from a 'speedway' spectacle it's got a lot of people's attention. I fancy the 'dream team' to win by about 10 points!?

Thanks for your reply 'Hobbit/BB' and thanks for advice.....noted! No Laurence, I haven't received any personal reply, but I can't access the Brummies Forum so that might be the reason? I didn't expect a response, but appreciate your message....thank you..... Here's to a better 2019 (injury wise).

I'm surprised Hancock wasn't disqualified for going too quick ???

are you polish by any chance?

CORRUPT!!!!

Agree totally.......back in the day it was part and parcel of the 'suspense' at the start ! (bluufing/anticipating, other riders etc....) It also made for some better races, especially when the favourite missed the gate!

Correct! and thanks GA for responding on my behalf.....nothing to do with not having any 'balls' as you put it...'hobbit' !? However, I acted like a moron in the first place which I'm not proud of and my comments were 'gutless' and I'm extremely embarrassed by them. I've also apologised to Laurence Rogers, for my criticism this season.... I've got swept up in passion and emotion and I intend to control it far better from now on! I've received a 'permanent ban' (brummies forum) which I understand and accept with grace! ( I won't try and re-invent myself under a different banner) As you can probably see....I even deleted my BSF account.....but then, I had no way of apologising....so I re-instated it!? p.s Just worked out who you might be 'HOBBIT' ??? if You're Bilbo on the Brummies Forum, then I publicly apologise to you too and 'JJ' ......along with GA. I certainly don't expect anyone to acknowledge/accept my apology...but please know that it's genuine and most sincere!

Can anyone explain the use of Ethan Spiller ? is he a track specialist or something ?

Now I know what it feels like to be a Cradley fan !?
