greyhoundp Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well done the Brummies, so who were the guys that were saying Cradley will walk the league and Brum will finish 7th or 8th ? its not going to happen, this proves the League will be a lot closer this year, Okay some may say it was over after last week, but believe me, there is NO way Cradley riders didnt want to win that last heat local bragging rights were at stake, pride was at stake and us Cradley fans are NOT used to losing especially at home. This will do wonders for Birmingham speedway, it wont hurt Cradley either a diet of 60 plus scores was becoming boring, bring on the next meeting between the two sides. Was it a decent crowd? Â I wasnt there but according to someone on updates they said it was a big crowd, remember this was Cradleys home meeting so that alone would ensure a decent crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Was it a decent crowd? Massive just like last week. Â What a win, what a performance and what superb racing towards the end.

Heathen1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ste about 35 points better over 2 leagues we are. We know league will be close this year. 6 of our riders had a bad night and still only lost by 2. Better if league is close anyway. We will all see at the end of season I suppose.

Heathen1984 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Why wud it shut Cradley fans up. Have u seen the massive aggregate score. Brums top 2 rode great and deserved the win, only Perks turned up for heathens but this happens. Good to see a close meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You really have to take your hat off to both sets of riders tonight, you would think the National League title was on this meeting after the commitment both sides gave. The trophy lets be honest was more or less won after first leg and its an early season challenge match so fair play to them for the entertainment they provided us. Â Ellis different quality to last week, as expected winning heats with ease. Perry as ever with him he entertains and showed he could easily be a good number 1 for most NL teams. Chapman's ride in Heat 12 is what won us the match imo, absolutley brilliant to hold off Williamson and Perks on the line as he did. Impressed with Chapman, think 5.45 is a steal for the talent he has. Kirby very good, on the pace in all his rides and gave 110% especially going to the first bends, hope hes okay after his tumble. Â As for the new lads, Zach made a positive impression tonight. Even though he made that great gate in Heat 2 and won the heat, I notice he doesnt always get the gate but he always looks on the pace to challenge. He defo showed signs he can make an impact as the weeks go by especially from reserve. I'm sure Alex Wilson will too, 2 paid 3 and I belive theres alot more to come from him. The one thing i will say about Harvie is gating isnt an issue but wasnt on the pace at all. Lets remember he is new to speedway and its his second meeting. Â Many of the Heathens didnt have as good nights, hope Harris is okay with his ankle injury. I would like to say what a talent Ellis Perks is, just turned 18 and I dont think it will be long before he is Heathens number 1. Will be interesting to see how he fares in the PL with Scunny this year. Its good to see a young british rider coming through with the talent he has, future looking good.

greyhoundp Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well Cradley are not as good as they think they are Brilliant win by the Brummies & well deserved as well Great night of speedway apart from that clown Porky  Not as good As they think they are, or as some of us think they are, I have publically said even after last week that The Brummies are Top three material barring injuries, It was almost impossible for The Heathens to improve on last week, and barely believable that Adam Ellis the Leagues Top rider would have another poor night, added to that the Brummie riders ALL put up improved showings maybe only by a point or two,but that was enough to turn a 30+ point deficit around, 26 points from your Top Two, 13 from two middle order riders, that only needed 7 from your lower end which they got admireably, Harvie Banks may only have scored 1 point, but without that point Birmingham wouldnt have won, well done to all the riders.  Porky is what he is, he is the Cradley Centre Green announcer, most of us Heathens love him, lots of away fans hate him, on nights when it is a 60 point procession he keeps the boredom away, yes he sometimes takes the Mick out of away fans, but he is a sound guy, he knows his Speedway, is quick witted, and can take the Mick out of himself, i wouldnt change him for anyone, he always without fail thanks the away fans for coming at the end of a meeting, as for being called a Clown he would be happy to know he is that funny..

pete cc Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 nice to see a close meeting, pity we didn't win.Hope the injurys to both riders are minor, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 As I said last week I was sure that Brummies will improve as the season goes on. Good thing for the NL is it shows that teams can compete with Cradley and it should be a interesting and competative League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
