Kester Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Am I right in thinking B'ham chose to got to Poole for the first leg? If so they must be regretting it. Easy with hindsight, but surely better to defend a lead? No, it was the right decision. But if you don't show up, whether you're home or away, you're going to get buried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The moment Swindon refused to let 2 wrongs make a right and throw a match the writing was on the wall. Cheats are definitely prospering and it's quite sickening Oh right! It's Swindon's fault! At least we salvaged some integrity from this season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's been lying awake over this one for years. Winning the world title twice will seem insignificant compared to scaling the heights of the EL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Birmingham need to take a gamble in the 2nd leg. Make a mess of the track, Flood it. ...

Poole Quay 7 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Full credit to Matt Ford who kept a cool head and didn't throw in the towel when many other promoters would have given up and written the season off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember once Leszno did this and they pulled out a crazy performance to beat Torun who had the much better riders. Good thinking, maybe also put in a few tricky chicanes, that'll catch them out. Also, don't turn on the lights and get our guys to practise blindfolded all week. Then cover the Brummies side of the pits in lucky heather and get some sort of witch to cast a spell over the Poole side, nothing too serious you understand, just so that Poole riders feel like they really need the loo every time they come to the tapes. Then get Paul McKenna to do some really good hypnotherapy-type stuff on the Brummies riders so they feel great. Finally, air-drop some 2009 calenders on Wimbourne Road so they think they're bottom of the league and have no chance anyway. This ties not over yet.

mike1944 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I would have preferred to see a tighter meeting to make it more exciting next week, the lead is so great I cannot see Birmingham pulling this back in any way. It is very lucky that there were not some serious injuries tonight, the track was in a dreadful condition with some deep ruts that caught many riders out some coming to grief. Even Wardy was caught out by one. Edited October 7, 2013 by mike1944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonimac Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Brum beaten fair and square. So many of their normally solid lineup did not perform, which is a shame for the 2nd leg. Two consecutive black and white helmets early in the meeting summed up their resistance. Shame Harris seemed to fade just as Doyle got going, and Smolinski gave the poorest No1 performance I've seen this season. But hats off to Ward, Hancock and Grajczonek who were outstanding. what summed it up for me - Janowski had a relatively poor night, but had he been with Brum, he would have been top scorer with Doyle (who gained 6 points from Heat 8) One hook on the cup I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
