stevec Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not a fan of either club (Eastbourne is my club) but I am in Wolverhampton on business tomorrow evening so may pop along for this. Bit of speedway or night on my own in a hotel room? no brainer really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Think there is a smattering of Kent fans travelling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Think the Brummies will be a bit too strong on home shale. Bowen may be one of the few riders in the league who could trouble Davey on current form but is still likely to be rusty. Thomas obviously went well last week but i fear there is little support elsewhere and there is a huge risk that Flint will run riot at reserve. If the Kings keep it to a 10 point defeat they will have done alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Kings keep it to a 10 point defeat they will have done alright. Not so sure that we'll win that comfortably? Or even at all ? It's a very well balanced meeting imo.... Davey will obviously be the stand out rider, but if Thomas/Bowen can trap him, then I'm sure they're quick enough to beat him! Flint is going great and will walk the reserve race, but Hampshire and Rowe are a bit too strong for him at the moment...imo We need Cupitt to perform and Bacon to sit still at the start, if we're going to nick this one !?

Sings4Speedway Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Largely as expected last night. Brum heat leaders just edging it, Kent second strings slightly better than their opposition but reserves 16-4 in Birmingham's favour. Flint was always going to be a treat but once he could take all the reserve rides it was game over. Sets up the return match quite nicely where i think it will be closer overall but the melted easter egg cup looks to have a big red B on it.

Flint wont be at reserve for long! He's head and shoulders above Walker/Cupitt already ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Once Walker and Cupitt joined in the fun, the Brummies were the more solid team, as happened at Stoke. Kent were lucky in the last heat; a Brummies 5-1 turned into a 3-3 by the Kent riders falling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 What was the dough-nut ref playing at in heat 15??? Holding the tapes for so long twice ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 At what stage into the race did the stoppage happen? I know there is a rule introduced this year where a ref MAY start the remaining rider off 15metres IF one team is on a clear 5-1 when the stoppage occurs.

I wasn't there, but maybe riders were moving? 15.2.9.1 After a pause of not less than 1½ seconds, sufficient to enable the Riders to spin their engines and focus attention, and provided all riders are stationary the Referee shall release the Tapes to signify the start.

*JJ Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Fourth bend, first lap. Bacon and Hume gated, and were on a secure 5-1 when Thomas helped Bowen into the fence. Re-run, after a long wait for the air-fence to be repaired, the referee again held the tapes for ages, and Bacon was said to have touched the tapes (he was not amused) and he was on 15m. Finally, Bowen made a blinder of a start and won the heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the referee was doing it all night. He was Graham Reeve, who should know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
