Ommer Mon Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I guess this could be labelled the play off play off but Kent and Mildenhall may have plenty to say about that. Should be a good evening's entertainment though and with Richard Hall going so well I fancy a Cradley win by 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Cradley will win but, a lot will depend who is riding at reserve for both teams. Cradley will win but, a lot will depend who is riding at reserve for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I thought only unattached flat 3 pointers could guest at reserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yeah it's the same Bowen. He rode for Plymouth last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Easy home win IMHO, presented on a plate when the BSPA allowed Richard Hall to be signed by Cradley. Imagine how different the landscape would have been if Birmingham had been allowed to sign Hall instead of Mason, and Mason ended up in the Cradley team. Yep, a home win, manufactured at BSPA HQ, thank you very much. No doubt all in the best interests of British Speedway, to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thing is u could of got rid of Mason and bought in Hall but you didnt im afraid. Hall dislocated his shoulder on Sunday grasstracking so how fit his he??? Makes brummies favourite with not a fully fit Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I reckon Hall will only ride if he's fit....he's far too experienced to take risks.....I hate to back against my own team, but I reckon Cradley will be pumped up for this one and will want revenge? 4 point home win!

Islander15 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 It sounds like Hall is riding after a bit of daytime physio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Correct so risky move especially already avin r/r. Cud go either way with Hall not 100 percent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thing is u could of got rid of Mason and bought in Hall but you didnt im afraid. That assumes that anyone had any idea of his availability. If you ask the BSPA once and are told "no" then why expect anything different by asking again? In fact by that definition, ANY club could have signed Hall, and there are those in more dire straits than the Brummies. I'm sure that had there been a general awareness that he was "signable" many other teams would have joined the rush to sign him. Makes you wonder what deal was done behind the scenes to secure Cradley the favour of his signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 U tryed to sign him last season when he had an higher champion average. Makes me laugh to think that u think they av done a deal just for cradley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUFC_Brummie Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I might be making this up but I'm sure I read in last week's programme that Drury said we tried to sign him this season before we got in Mason but he was assessed as a 7. Looking forward to tonight, should be a corker, we could really do with getting a point and anything more for the Brummies would pretty much end Cradley's chances you'd think, if Hall is a little worse for wear and Hampshire's bike works for all his heats then we might have a chance, but I'll go for a 48-42 home win.

Guest GiveusaB Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Let's not worry about Hall's signing....let's just hope Mason has another holiday if we make the play offs and we'll use Richard again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Richard Hall was the obvious first choice when we needed a replacement for Darryl Richings but the reason we were unable to sign him was because he had just signed for Peterborough which made him ineligible to ride in the National League. The rules were not changed for Cradley, and they have done well to get him to join them - especially now that his assessed average has been reduced to 6.00.

Heathen1984 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 If u make the playoffs,pretty sure halls average aint gona be 6 anyway im afraid. Who ever wins tonight, either still aint good enuff to finish top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
