Pirio Barre Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 With the Newport meeting starting at 1pm and ending around 3:00-3:30PM and the Birmingham meeting starting at 6pm it very possible to do both meetings should you wish As the journey time between the two tracks is not much more then 2 hours.

horneymikh Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 And there'll come a Saturday in the season when you and your mystery friend will want to go to Rye House AND Stoke, but can only go to one of them. Choices choices...Shall we re-work the entire fixtue list just to suit you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And naturally you would choose Stoke...

SCB Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Jesus, you've really got a probably with that comment havent you? It was not even meant as insulting!! That said, Nobody in that field who will beat Crump, Harris, Schlein, Watt or Kennett consistently is there Thats 5 riders who rode in last years SWC and for the major teams too Phil is not Welsh Champion either Wales only has an Open Championship and that was won by Chris Holder Just like Chris won the Australian Open Championship this winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jamie Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Whast more likely is I want to see Edinburgh and Stoke at Somerset this season. But Somersets race nigt clashes with Coventrys, so I'm hoping them meeting are on a GP weekend, or even that Edinburgh go there on an off night it's highly unlikely we'll be at Somerset on a Friday young man, seeing as that's our normal night for sunny Armadale. generally, it's either a Bank Holiday Monday or a Wednesday ...although we did race there on a Friday in 2002 If someone would like to arrange that, I'd be most grateful JDC does the fixtures. they'll be announced early next month apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 JDC does the fixtures. they'll be announced early next month apparently <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you ask that nice Mr Campbell if it would be possible not to have 90% of Glasgow's away fixtures confined to the months of June and July this year . Costs a bloody fortune . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) In case anyone remembers his name...Hans Nielsen will be the Brummies Guest Of Honour at the Alan Hunt Memorial Trophy.. Wow and with news that more former riders will be over here in the Summer, and hopefully paying us a visit, it sounds like it could be a great year in many ways for Brummies fans.

czechhero Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I notice that Steve Johnston and Brent "Bad Knee" Werner have been added to the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I notice that Steve Johnston and Brent "Bad Knee" Werner have been added to the line up. Could be interesting if Brent repeats his New Year Classic form. Last year of coures he was the first rider to beat Zetterstom around Perry Barr, so the potential is there....good addition to the line-up if you ask me.

Brummie Kev Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Final line up named: Jack Hargreaves Kyle Legault Shawn McConnell Andre Compton David Howe Lubos Tomicek Phil Morris Lee Smart Brent Werner James Birkinshaw Jason Lyons Ulrich Ostergaard Adam Roynon Steve Johnston Kauko Nieminen Kenneth Hanson Reserves: Jack Roberts and Adam Lowe Should be a good meeting, just hope the weather stays fine but who knows. Prediction: 1. Kenneth Hanson 2. Jason Lyons 3. Steve Johnston Edited March 12, 2008 by Brummie Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Coming up for this after Nick's testimonial. Not a bad line-up, Looking forward to watching Hansen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Andre Compton Jason Lyons Ulrich Ostergaard these three wont be far of the top spot, looking forward to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Lyons, Howe & Compton to make the roster. Ostergaard & Nieminen the only pair likely to trouble those three. Hansen was poor when visiting Perry Barr with both Wolves & Workington last year. Be interesting to see how Legault & Roynon go. I thought James Wright was riding, what happened?

Brummie Kev Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Be interesting to see how Legault & Roynon go. I thought James Wright was riding, what happened? I thought Wright was riding as well, it’s only since I `ve seen your post ive realised. Swindon aren’t riding sunday so I cant see why he wouldn’t ride, unless the swindon promotion have stopped him riding in it. It might be perhaps he’s injured but I haven’t seen anything saying he is, who knows. The early weather forecast isn’t great. It looks at the minute like Sunday morning will be wet but the system will move southwards around lunchtime and after that dry for the rest of the day. With a greyhound meeting at lunchtime they won’t be able to work on the track till 3pm. A bit of rain wouldn’t hurt the track, it might even liven the racing up. I’m fairly optimistic that the meeting will take place, but you can only judge the weather on the day of the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Shawn McConnell has been confirmed in the line up. He looked good in practice. I tell you what, if someone could find sponsorship to buy him European standard equipment he could ride in the PL this season. ----------------------------------------------------- My rostrum three... Howe Lyons Roynon (looked good in practice and did a lot of laps) I hope the Brummies track staff have managed so source some shale. As I said after the practice on Wednesday, most of the track was last seen blowing across the North Sea. Jokes aside, the track and weather conditions made practice very tough. The wind was still gusting very high, the sun dried the track out and the wind blew it all away as dust. It was right down to the base with a couple of lads finding out the hard way that there was nothing left to hold them up as the wind blew them into turn 1. Sadly the complete flip side of the coin (well the weather) looks to be a threat on Sunday. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hmm I see Mr Tomicek is in the line-up....may have to gather the troops and make my first trip to Birmingham. Should think Howie will walk it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
