semion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Excuse me old pessimist, weather will be fine today! I'm as disappointed as the next person that Brum aren't at full strength but King is in good form, Barker will give 100% as will Covatti and the rest of them, it won't be a whitewash, get up that bloody road and support the Stars :-p Anything can happen in speedway, in fact usually if people stay away cos they think the oppo isn't up to much there's some decent racing so miss it and miss out :-) Dont worry Mother T, I will be there. Just cant get the same enthusiasm for this one, as the rest so far. The expectation level is quite low so maybe I am in for a surprise, then again, maybe not. I had a look at 84, and Lynn rode 55 meetings that season. Good Bit on The Stars in todays SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy17 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) i think we should do a sweepstake to see how many stars riders get maximums/paid maximums. I'll go with 3, Iversen, Porsing and Kerr. #MayThePorseBeWithYou Edited June 5, 2014 by speedy17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david2905 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 TBH, I can understand our fans staying away with the alleged team we have put out, but KL should be turning up every week regardless of opposition currently, your sweeping all before you and should be nailed on for a title, short of the usual Sky/Poole fix, what more do you want ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 2 miles from track. Rained until about 7 this morning. Since then there has been a very stiff breeze with just a 5 minute light shower. The weather we have had today should not pose any problems imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Not so sure SL, I sense Birmingham are gonna feel like a Hurricane has hit them tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 FURROW Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) A rainy start to Speedway Thursday. Will Buster put the effort in to get it on tonight or will he knock it on the head so Birmingham can come back with a more attractive team at a later date. Weather is krap, Poor Is this what Speedway is really all about ? Why should Buster move it we went to there place with a makeshift team they wouldn't move it 3 more points tonight towards the playoffs Edited June 5, 2014 by 5 FURROW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Absolute Shambles of a match , sad day for the Elite League that you get a match up like this. I find our lineup totally unacceptable, we should not fielding a team as weak as that. I had no idea that Nermark rode Sweden on Thursdays but why only Jorgensen as a replacement!! No disrespect to the lad but hes hardly of the same level. Also yet again for another away match we are without Starke, hardly rides away meetings for us. Its a joke I'm just sick of this league, constant missing riders and mickey mouse line-ups. I don't know what the future holds for the Brummies, as a fan I'm taking it match by match at the moment but should we make to the end of the season and beyond, i hope we drop back down. It may not be perfect in the PL, but it cant be any worse than this crap and I feel that's our level now. As a fan you just want to see two evenly matched sides going at it and that would be great on a really good track like Kings Lynn. We shouldn't have to suffer with match ups like this, it does the sport no favors at all. very well summed up there kev. I thought the bspa fined teams for under strength line ups or has that changed.Do feel for all the brummies fans you know your basically watching a p.l team every wk ahainst e.l teams not much hope wk to wk.Can only see a 60plus score line maybe even 70 . Birmingham 1. Danny King 6.73 2. Thomas Jorgensen 3.00 3. Bartosz Zmarzlik r/r 4. Nico Covatti 4.53 5. Ben Barker 6.36 6. Daniel Halsey 7. Simon Lambert That team with Zmarzlik adds up to 27.50 nearly 5pts under the limit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Am I allowed to say "another sad day for the sport" of "no wonder speedway's going down the tubes"? Or should I just express my undying, unconditional love for the sport in this country, just in case I get told to eff off? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Am looking forward to tonight, the forecast is good too. Shame Brummies cannot field their strongest side as that would have made it an even contest. I don't want the BSPA to fine them though, they are under enough financial stress at the moment as it is. Might even change my spectating position tonight as the old man is away on holiday (and he doesn't like change!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Why would Birmingham get fined? It's not their fault they are fielding a weakened side, is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Second one of course!!!!! Alternatively tell us the answer to going down the tubes!!! Mmm, easy. Run it properly and then market it properly Simple really, but how you'd achieve that under the present systems, I don't know, it maybe impossible even.

rob240866 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 puck even money with bet 365 to score over 12 points. must be a give away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Nermark missing with no facility will be why they will be fined. Nermark also missing for the 'B' fixture on August 7th too as Valsarna are riding, so I presume we will get fined for that aswell. I have no complaints if we get fined, we shouldnt have agreed to these fixtures in the first place given the poor side we are putting out. Shame the person that should answer to that isn't at the club anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
