I don't care much for Semi Finals and Finals, prefer the old system

 

I agree. It is the same in individual meetings where a rider scores a perfect 15/18 then has to race off against someone with a lower score and loses!!! crazy.

post came after the final and the rebs didn't win. would you say the same about it being on a neutral track if it were held at NA I wonder?

Were Brum the best pair on the night? or the best pair because they won the final race? anyone?

 

Well done to them.

YUP, no doubt about it, if it was held at the NA, tom and darcy would have had an excellent chance of winning, but if they had, it would have been a case of "home track advantage" which would detract from their success, posted the comment after the final, but was typing with 2 fingers DURING the final!!! . I may support lynn, as they are my local team, but was raised on crumpy led swindon teams, but i am a fan of speedway, with all the muck that has been slung in recent months about average fiddling etc, hold super 7s on neutral tracks, then the cynics have no arguments. Dont mean to take anything away from the team at the OTA, its a great track, but the way things are, any hint of bias wil be pounced on and blown out of proportion. Oh yea , seeing as its GP weekend COME ON BOMBER!

History made tonight, Brum's first major silverware for 34 years since the 1975 NNL title.

 

Fantastic, sadly we didnt have a team to support for 20 years, so this is such a special win also it will get us good coverage with our battle with planning permission, this is good for the city of birmingham the council should realise this. I cant wait till they parade the trophy next Wednesday.

But not to take anything away from Brum, well done Lads,...... Congratulations

 

The second tier pairs, in whatever guise, has always been decided by a semi final and final, team man.

I wasn't there but from the updates it sounded a poor meet , by that no passing. Hope Shane is Ok.

 

Birmingham won after a poor first round but didn't Pakistan do that in cricket world cup the other week. I suppose it happens in all sports. Well done to them.

Not true.

 

It used to involve seven teams in the classic pairs format.

 

I recall going to Newport in 1999 when it was run under that format.

 

James Grieves apart from a diabolical exclusion in his first heat went through the card.

 

Edinburgh came nowhere as Kevin Little was injured early on.
