Brummiestormer Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Going over for this--hope the weather behaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number23 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Weather here yesterday was heavy rain at times and rained overnight. Clear at the moment and forecast of little rain and some sunshine so hope that we should be fine. Very much looking forward to this one. KLYS have had two good wins at home and go well on home soil. Reserves will be very interesting, Ryan is flying at home and JPB will keep him honest. Birmingham will obviously be a big challenge and lets look forward to some fast and safe racing.

whippy Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Weather report would be gratefully received from someone near KL. we live 30 - 45 mins away and would like to know if it will go ahead after all the rain. Rained heavily here yesterday, in the night and this morning but sun is shining now. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Anyone travelling along A47 from Norwich direction the road is close at Middleton. Seems the road surface is sinking and will be closed indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Lots of questions to be asked about Kings Lynn after this one who are looking like a 2 man side with home grown heroes Bailey & Kinsley offering the only serious resistance. Stokes will have better days but of the others major concerns are starting to be raised? Greaves sadly isn't the rider he was before his leg break, Hazelden & Campos just make up the numbers. Its always amazed me that Campos gets a team place every year for what feels like the past 10 seasons and still performs extremely averagely. Hume & Cupitt were at a similar level in the MDL last year but now Hume wins heat 1's and Cupitt runs consistent last places at home. Take nothing away from Brum though. 6 of the 7 recorded at least one win and JPB will clearly have better days. Its no secret that the heat leaders are strong but its the 2nd strings that are really starting to kick on and i can see this Birmingham team sticking 70 points on someone in the not too distant future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Let's hope all these young guys go onto better things, that's what this league is all about after all. Was good to see the talent that Birmingham have got in their ranks ..... the future of British Speedway looks bright, push on boys, keep learning!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with the KL team is their strength is at second string and reserve, but they came up against a team with the best second strings and reserves in the league! The PL has really helped Bailey to kick on this year and Kinsley is very good around Lynn. I wouldnt criticise Stokes either. But I agree with the comment on Greaves, and I wonder whether being removed from the pressure of the PL would be a help for him. Campos is there because he's a good leader for team on a personal lever and it's not like the team is full of oldies tbf! Cupitt, is a strange one. He clearly has talent and got some expert advice over the winter and I keep thinking he'll kick on but I'm still waiting. Nevertheless time is on his side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 To be fair i didn't take into account that the Young Stars have hardly had any meetings so some riders will still be a bit rusty / getting new equipment set up. I still think that the Kings Lynn team is one to watch and everyone is entitled to have a bad day at the office but when several do and you come up against a strong team like Brum there is going to be a bashing.
