Birmingham need to stay out of the tapes in Bacon's case and Carr needs to react just as fast but hope the referee can differentiate between quick reactions and jumping the start.

 

The top 2 for each team are fairly even, so second strings and reserves will be vital. Birmingham can't do what they did against Plymouth in the 3-4 positions otherwise Cradley will win.

Should be a cracker this, Cradley have the edge slightly with the heatleaders but Tom Bacon at 4 is massive for us. Roberts is undoubtedly the weakest of the reserves so Hampshire will need to have a good meeting to cover off two decent ones for Cradley.

 

Heart says 46-44 Brummies, head says 46-44 Cradley.

Top performance by Birmingham. Disappointed with Cradley, apart from Tom Perry they went missing in the first part of the meeting.

 

How good was Liam Carr. Bike on fire. Sits on Mason's bike and flies around. Beating Ayres and Perry twice. Hampshire was impressive again. No wonder he says Birmingham is his favourite track

Well done Brummies, as for Cradley they got what they deserved Ommered.. Brummies sign Hampshire, Cradley sign Rutherford that sums up the shift in the balance of power in the NL.

Did Cradley need anybody at the time Hampshire was signed ?

Well I didn't see that coming, clearly overestimated the ability of Cradley's reserves and Ayres and Harris were extremely underwhelming compared with the challenge match at the start of the season.

 

The track was very heavily watered and having read Tom Perry's programme notes I've no doubt that was a tatical ploy from Mr. Drury, it created a poor night of racing that against any other team I'd be pretty unhappy about, but on this occasion I'll let it slide..... ;)

 

Brummies made the gates, stayed on the bike and avoided last places though, same for both sides, excellent job throughout the team, big win.

Nothing about timing, Its about comparisons.. simply that, and that this will be the third season now without silverware, NO i dont expect to win every meeting, but neither do i expect to be annoyed and embarrassed by the scoreline either, whats the term flattered to deceive ?, seems thats the way our seasons turning out..
