I have said this before, but I park outside the warehouses on the left in Walsall Road; this saves crossing the road!

He used a GM for his first two races; did he use the Gerhard for the last two? I didn't notice. His first last place, though, was due to one of the Kent riders fencing him.

No: use Junction 7. There is little traffic using this route (A34), only 2 miles, and it is much simpler than wandering round Aston! I park on the A34 outside the warehouses being too tight to pay the stadium for parking, and don't want to fight my way round the island to One Stop.

I think that you need to change your tune now!

Apparently, another company have taken over from the GRA.

In his book, Malcolm Simmons made a comment about this being done years ago!

Please do not feed the troll.

Probably not genuine ... he/she only joined the forum 13 hours ago!

How miserable can you get? Shanes and Paco are deservedly fans' favourites, and Morris could get back to the form which scored a maximum in his last race in 2019. Anyway, who woul;d you replace them with? Stephen Whitehouse?

Why? Birmingham came back from 10 down to win at Berwick by 12; and came back from 14 down at Redcar to lose by only two. Who is to say that they could not have won by more than two at Perry Barr?

I notice that the original poster never replied to this question. What was the 'thorn in the side', Mr. Harris?

Whenever I have been there, people seem to park in the road down to the track!

Tracey, Bos and I used folding chairs when we went on the northern tour in 2019, with no problems.

Birmingham has only been postponed for three weeks, not closed.

One problem with British speedway is that it is NOT organised as clubs, as in Poland. I was once told by a promoter - and this is when it was in the National League - that "*** Speedway is a commercial organisation ... it does not do training". Which, of course, explains the attitude of most promoters, who comprise the membership of the BSPL.

Which 'old' tyre? The hard Barum tyre introduced a few years ago used to break up instead of wearing down.

Result from Speedway Updates: Redcar Bears : 46 1. Charles Wright - 2', 2, 3, 1, 0 = 8+1 2. Leon Flint (G) - 3, 2', 0, 2, 0 = 7+1 3. Michael Palm Toft - 3, 2, 3, 3, 1 = 12 4.

Ashley Morris - F, Fx, 1', 2', 1' = 4+3 5. Erik Riss - 2, 3, 2, 3, 3 = 13 6. Paco Castagna - R, 1, 1, 3, 1', 2, 2 = 10+1 7. Jack Thomas - 0, 0, 0 = 0 8. Luke Muff - Did Not Ride = 0

Well, I did this, and a fortnight later, no copy has turned up.

So why didn't Berwick protest it? Anyway, even if Nichol's score is removed, you would still lose!

No use being bitter ... Grobauer was at an FIM meeting. In any case, the meeting was won by Birmingham regular riders - Harris, Morris,etc - not the guests.

Which is probably why Birmingham tried to put the match back (like the Edinburgh and Newcastle ones) but Berwick refused.

I haven't been able to buy a copy of last week's Star, which I particularly wanted as the season opening edition. Can I order one, or will some be available at track shops at any time?

Bear-faced cheek!

He is usually in fancy dress ...

Allegedly, Tony Mole spent a quarter of a million in setting up the Perry Barr track: and that was in an existing stadium.
