LordoftheShale Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 James Cockle should do well for Kings Lynn, but I feel Birmingham should do what is needed, that's if the weather plays ball tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have asked the same question on the Eastbourne 2015 thread and the question is appropriate to both Birmingham and King's Lynn. I ask this as a fan of a Premier League team. Having seen Birmingham (and King's Lynn) at Elite League level, how does the National League compare for fans? In terms of entertainment, quality, crowd levels. Genuinely interested as I haven't watched Elite or National League speedway on a regular basis.

Graham C Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I have asked the same question on the Eastbourne 2015 thread and the question is appropriate to both Birmingham and King's Lynn. I ask this as a fan of a Premier League team. Having seen Birmingham (and King's Lynn) at Elite League level, how does the National League compare for fans? In terms of entertainment, quality, crowd levels. Genuinely interested as I haven't watched Elite or National League speedway on a regular basis. Having watched the Brummies at all three levels my views are as follows: Entertainment: In terms of Entertainment, I've seen both good and bad meetings at all levels. The major plus point for NL, as far as I'm concerned is that ALL the guys WANT to race - I haven't seen any rider who's has been happy to tootle around for appearance money. Value for money: £14 (inc Porgramme)for Adults, plus sensible, £2 admission for Kids, means that it is more affordable than last year and gives the club an opportunity to attract and, more importantly, keep the younger fans. Quality: I've been slightly surprised by the difference in ability between the top guys and the reserves (with a few obvious exceptions, Ellis Perks et al). I would suggest that the difference in ability is greater at this level than at any other. The races in Heats 13 and 15, however, (featuring the top guys) have been as good as anything I've seen at a higher level. Crowd Levels: With the exception of the EL meetings against Wolves and Coventry, I reckon that the crowd levels have been at least equal to those that were achieved for the majority of EL matches. On balance I would prefer Premier League racing, more variety in opponents and generally more skillful riders (who still want to race) BUT, the National League is not to be sneezed at, watching Seven guys who WANT TO RACE FOR YOUR TEAM is far superior to the EL.
