Fozzie4388 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Brummies could do worse then signing Ryan MacDonald now he's been released by Stoke 3.00 would probably score more then Banks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Here's a thought. Isn't there a case for R/R to be scrapped in the NL? If this league is all about developing young (???) talent, then wouldn't the greater good be benefited by drafting in a MDL rider, or some other junior? At the absolute very least the NL should cancel RR when both teams are operating it. Luckily that doesn't apply in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eM_Pe Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I don't always see speedway being mentioned on the main BBC Sports website but when I do, it's a live radio coverage of a National League Speedway meeting at the Perry Barr Stadium.

mdmc82 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well done brummies,closer than I expected to be honest with a depleted team. I'm confused, which team was depleted? Cradley only had 1 rider missing at the start of the meeting. Both teams lost their number 6 rider so that didn't disadvantage one side more than the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Missing Neale and Greaves wasnt they, weknow wud of been different with those 2. Losin phillips made them stronger thou.

Brummiestormer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Not the best meeting racing wise but after years of being smashed by Cradley teams any win against them is so much sweeter now---yeeeehaaaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Mdmc82, im unsure if your comment was tongue in cheek, Cradley had their second heat leader missing so had to rely on rr, then to suggest having both No6s out cancelled each other out is total bull*hit, as Brums No6 has barely scored a point all season, whereas Mikey has a 5+ av and would likely have taken 2 rr rides, so it was comparable to losing not 2 but 2+ riders. Well done Brum on a good win which has just about ended Cradleys League title hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Brum on a good win which has just about ended Cradleys League title hopes. Blimey lose one match and your title hopes have gone? I wish that were true but its not and last nights result was not the end of the world for Cradley. All it means is that, from your point of view, you have to win the return fixture. Something you are more than capable of. As a Brummie fan I am not taking anything for granted at this point. I have heard no fat lady singing and their are other dangerous teams beside Birmingham and Cradley that will yet have something to say about the ultimate destination of the title. While I am thinking about it. The Cradley fans that cheered when Adam Ellis came off at high speed. Shame on you. Probably be taling about that on tonights speedway tavern which will have interviews from the skip, The grasshopper, Sam and match winner Kirby.

Probably be taling about that on tonights speedway tavern which will have interviews from the skip, The grasshopper, Sam and match winner Kirby. When doing so, ask the question of whether the "cheering" is intended personally at the rider in question, or is it an expression of relief that a fans own team is better off and no longer in danger of losing a point? It may be a delicate subject, but I doubt if Birmingham's fans are any more saintly than any others, and I don't for a minute think that any fans actually wish harm on any opponent. I wonder how many people who live in glass houses will be phoning you on the matter to throw some stones? Maybe you should ask them to watch videos of Nicki Pedersen going into some fences before they contribute to the debate, because I know what reaction the sight of that generally generates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Brum on a good win which has just about ended Cradleys League title hopes.No not tongue in cheek at all. Lots of teams have to use RR for a heat leader esp if missing due to injury or PL commitments. Does that mean Coventry can say they are depleted everytime they have been missing Greenwood or Birmingham missed Ellis due to PL 😂😂😂 Birmingham are the strongest team in the league and I'm sure other teams will also lose to them. They are title favourites. There's no shame in losing to them Edited June 25, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
