Brummies_Ste Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Phil Morris stoked to be back with Birmingham Brummies 10:47, 30 March 2015 By Ryan Guest Phil Morris will be back in the Birmingham pits once again for the club's opening National League fixture on Friday. Wizzer was stand-in team manager for last Wednesdays memorable victory over local rivals Cradley and will be back at Perry Barr when the Stoke Potters visit in the opening league outing of the season. Before Graham (Drury) agreed to be team manager, hed already got a holiday booked up so I was asked if Id help out for two meetings and its a privilege to be back, said Morris. Last Wednesday was a great night for everyone at the club and I was definitely kept busy on my first night back. The league opener is a big, big meeting especially with how this years rules work. Your home form is going to be more crucial than ever and a good start to get some early points on the board is really important. Stoke have got riders who have all got National League experience so despite us having a few more meetings than them under our belts, I think it will be a tough meeting. I tried to install that winning feeling into the boys last week and hopefully they can use that once again against Stoke. Adam (Ellis) and Tom (Perry) did their jobs at one and five and you should be seeing them score double figures most weeks, I think. Sam Chapman took a lot on board, especially about the Perry Barr track, and that was shown in Heat 12 and he is full of confidence after that race. Zach (Watjtknecht) is on cloud nine after picking up his first heat win in just his second meeting. What makes it even better is that it came against Ellis Perks and youre not going to come up against a better reserve than him all season. Adam Kirby impressed me he had a rough old night but I feel he deserved more points than he did score . Alex (Wilson) and Harvie Banks learnt a lot too so theres a really good buzz ahead of the first league fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Dont think we have Sam Chapman for this as Plymouth are riding, also I'm presuming the 8pm start is to allow Adam Ellis as much time as possible to get here. Lakeside have a home match that starts at 1pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Brummies to win this one easily i think! I Definitely don't think it will be easy. However the track time may just edge it for Brum. Think Stoke will take a point here at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4r4h Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I believe the start time is 8 to enable them to work on the track after the Good Friday dog meeting has finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I believe the start time is 8 to enable them to work on the track after the Good Friday dog meeting has finished. The dogs dont run on the Speedway track, I have seen Monmore Green Speedway track being worked on whilst greyhound racing was taking place, so i very much doubt thats the reason.

Different stadium management, different policies. Speedway personnel can't do their thing whilst the dogs are running round in circles at Perry Barr...again nothing that the tenants can do about the landlords rules.

brianbuck Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I believe the start time is 8 to enable them to work on the track after the Good Friday dog meeting has finished. There is a local bye-law which forbids the use of the stadium for any activity which is betting related, so although Perry Barr normally stages Friday night Greyhound Racing, they can't run on Good Friday. This is the only reason that the stadium landlords allow speedway there on this particular Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come down here looking for a job, then realize they haven’t the skills so nick my car to get back up north, we all know how it works.

The start time is 8pm to allow Adam Ellis to get from Lakeside as he is racing for them this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies_Ste Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 BIRMINGHAM are confident of a double victory tonight... against Stoke Potters and the weather! The Surestop Brummies open their City Gearboxes National League campaign with a derby clash at Perry Barr, starting at 8pm with a bumper crowd expected. Light drizzle is expected to clear the city early afternoon to enable the action to go ahead on schedule. Come and join us - and make it a VERY GOOD Friday!
