Alex2000 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Charley Powell Eastbourne asset and grass tracker . Not ridden a meeting for us yet so will see how he does for Brum. Easy win for Brum tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummiestormer Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Charley rode really well but the NL title is now Eastbournes if Perry has broken his wrist as suspected after Halsey went wide and took him into the fence--no ill intent may i add on his part. Knew our luck would run out eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordoftheShale Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 3 more points, but at a cost. Hope Tom Perry's wrist isn't broken as is feared. Another close meeting early on, but the Brummies moved clear at the end. Charley Powell got better with every race. Shame the Start Marshall put Powell off his stroke by leaving the cone used to support the tapes out in the heat he was winning. Caused him to swerve and fall off. Plus a full house for Zach too.

mdmc82 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 So is it correct that there are no play off finals this year. No play off finals this year. The top 4 will race each other in a golden cup competition. Â Not sure why somebody has quoted it as being Eastbournes now to lose. Birmingham may be without Perry but it still shouldn't affect the rest of the team strength with Zach & Ellis able to take an extra ride. Cradley are the nearest team to Birmingham in the league and Coventry still haven't ridden at home so have all their home fixtures to come.

Cradley are the nearest team to Birmingham in the league and Coventry still haven't ridden at home so have all their home fixtures to come. Just what I was thinking. Looks like a four horse race for the title to me and yes, I think Coventry look very good with all their home matches to come still. Â Am I reading it wrong or did 'Lord of the shale' really suggest that the starting marshal left the tapes cone on the track causing a rider to crash? Surely that would be a re-run and more of a talking point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Brummies might still have a chance for the league, but the "Golden Cup" will be Eastbourne's to lose, before a wheel is turned with their obvious home track advantage. Might as well give them the trophy now. Â Â GOOD NEWS Â This morning's Facebook update says that Tom Perry has NOT broken his wrist but that there is a bone fracture in one of the bones in the side of his hand. He'll be working with the team's Fizzio and hopefully he hopes to be fit to ride again in 2-3 weeks time. Or in other words, in 3 or 4 meetings time... I assume R/R will cover for him, and that could cost the team 5 points a meeting at least from what Perry's scoring potential would be compared to who we have to take his rides. Â If the Brummies enter the NL Pairs, then the 2nd rider spot may now be up for grabs, depending on when Tom Perry returns, how he does when he is back on track, and what Zach keeps doing...should be interesting to watch this space. Â NO NEWS Â No-one has any more news on Harvey Banks's or Adam Kirby's injuries. I would expect however that for Banks, Graham Drury won't be rushing him back until he is fully fit, recuperated, strong as an ox, tanned from his holidays and brim full of confidence. One gets the feeling that Charley (why the feminine spelling of that name?) Powell may be invited along again (and again?) pending Banks's return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 If Perry is out for a while Luke Bowen would do a good job at NL level on an 8 point average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new averages Tom is now third and this means that Adam Ellis is not able to take one of toms rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 With the new averages Tom is now third and this means that Adam Ellis is not able to take one of toms rides. That's not correct. Tom is second on 8.96 and Zach on 8.87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 ...Tom is now third ... That's not correct. Tom is second ... Â It'll be hotly debated on the radio! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_art Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hopefully this will settle the argument. Â http://speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/nl15_issue_9a.pdf Although having just looked again it may be that although these are earlier averages they are in effect. I hope so:- Â Â http://speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/nl15_issue_10.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) It looks like he is third... In the declarations effective July 1st he is second, which is issue 10. Between the July averages being released and them becoming effective both Tedham and Hopwood were signed under June averages so a new copy was released as issue 9a and this is what you and guitar_art are looking at and confusing yourselves. But they are not the effective July averages that see Perry second! Edited July 3, 2015 by Islander15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
