brumspur Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 To clarify the situation about parking on the "one-stop" shopping centre car park, Birmingham Speedway have an agreed deal with the shopping complex to use the car park on speedway race nights. This deal was sorted when the Brummies relaunched last year. There are loads of spaces and, of course, it is free aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 The view any good from there? Also, does anyone know what time the shops are open to at the One Stop? Apart from the ASDA and the fast food outlets, I think most of them are closed by 5.30pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Don't think so There is some earth banking, but this has never been used before. Apparently it was built when the speedway track was constructed last year, but it had to be left to consolidate. Viewing on the 3rd/4th bend should be great; that is where a lot of the overtaking takes place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 That's what I thought. If memory serves there was some sort of issue with the removal of earth so it was dumped on the 3rd/4th turn. I'm not 100% sure about it though. If this is the case then there will be some elevation on the 3rd/4th turn that should allow people to see over the air fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayTShirts Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Any news on weather for tmw, 24 / 48 hours forecasts, and experts out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy105 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm hoping to get to Perry Barr tomorrow to cheer the Aces boys on. 3rd and 4th Bend viewing sounds ok with me. If anyone has any weather updates for tomorrow and if anyone has my number (someone from the updates site will have it) and could keep me updated with the weather from 3pm onwards tomorrow that would be much appreciated.

crazysue Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Our normal Birmingham texter is unable to text tomorrow night so is there anyone going to the meeting who would be able to text updates to the updates site? If so, could you please either leave a message here or send me an email or pm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The only way you will be able to see, unless you get there 2 hours early, is behind glass. Very similar viewing to BV. No elevation to get a look over the air fence so you have to go behind glass. Not my cup of tea at all, but its the only way you'll get any sort of view.

Chris Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Decent view from the 1st bend tempstand. How many can they fit in them booths Shadders? 100 max? Plus never usually an air fence at Perry Barr so can watch through the mesh fence. I wouldn't have thought it would be comfortable at Perry Barr tomorrow.

T.N.T. Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Was hoping to get across for this tonight but that looks unlikely now This no longer holds the credability of years gone by, but this is a good line up and on a neutral track where only Fredrik Lindgren and Chris Holder have ridden before. Would love to see Freddie win it, but have a feeling Hans Andersen will celebrate his move to Coventry with another trophy despite only riding a few matches for them ! 1. Hans Andersen 2. Leigh Adams 3. Fredrik Lindgren 4. Jason Crump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Bee Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 So that's Schlein in then. Changed your mind yet Sandie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 So that's another rider that's ridden PB before. Who has to pull out for Billy Janniro to get a ride? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some heavy showers forecast for later, and some rain moving up from the south west to keep an eye on. The only way this will be called off is it it's a complete wash-out, in my opinion. It's the biggest meeting so far for the new Brummies so I have no doubt they'll do everything they can to make it a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliv Clav Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 AJ misses this meeting, still suffering effects of fall in Poland. But he will ride for Hammers tomorrow at Peterborough and at Arena on Friday. http://www.lakesidehammers.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
