Team wih A LOT of potential but it only takes Kingston and chessel to both have one of their off nights and you're down to a 2 man team in my eyes.

 

Say Morris and clegg get 28 points between them

Purchase picks up 3

Andrews 3

Basford 1

Chessel 4

Kingston 4

That's only 43 very much like last years birmingham team without a superstar reserve be good to see how they all get on round monmore too

Wolverhampton is a more uniform shape and i would never complain about the racing i have seen there but Eastbourne on the other hand is shaped like an egg and there more than most tracks riders making mistakes allows home riders to sail past with impunity and if Eastbourne fans are happy to win like that fair enough---just don't ask me to like it :nono:

Wouldn't say wolves is similar to Eastbourne,if anything Buxton is more similar in size and both look difficult to ride.im intrigued as to how Andrews will take to the small tracks as I hear tracks in Australia are quite big

Not really - Pinjar Park WA is just 142 metres. Gillman is 300m, Mildura 302m. Undera, Kurri Kurri & Gosford are all 320m. Among recent regular tracks only North Brisbane at 350 metres could really be described as large.

 

The big tracks like Claremont, Sydney Showground, Rowley Park are all long gone.

 

Rosebank is 294m by the way.

Like Nicki Pedersen said - If you can ride Eastbourne you can ride anywhere

Where is this place in Brieley Hill that Nigel Pearson has tweeted that could have been the home of Cradley.

He says it now cant happen because the proposed Metro line is going straight through the middle of the site.

I thought the new line was supposed to be on the old freight tracks that are still in place.

Cant recognise from the picture where exactly in Brieley Hill this site is.

Havent seen the tweet, but I'm guessing Canal Street, I was told it was to be used as a Depot for Building Hardware for the proposed new Metro, and like you I understood the new Metro was supposed to be the old Freight line.

 

Canal Street, Dudley end of Brierley Hill, where the old Bus Depot used to be for those of a certain generation that can remember :wink: . ​
