Brummie Kev Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'm still looking forward to this match despite no Masters, I honestly couldnt give two hoots about the Play offs now. Even if we qualify we will have 2 guests and R/R for the semi finals minimum and realistically what chance do we have anyway. So for me tonight is more important because we need to start looking forward to 2019, I think most brummies fans would be in favour of a move up and we all need to turn out because it wont happen if we dont give Peter and David Mason our full support.

scoobydoo Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 What a pointless match, Birmingham with none of there 2018 riders and Peterborough with just two and as theres only six riders listed for the Panthers assume its Rider Replacement as well. Why not use some of younger riders, its not even an inter lge match its a match of two select teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Well I for one can't wait to see some Championship riders grace Perry Barr.....be great to see Starke/Barker/Ellis/Lambert and Jason Garrity is an entertainer, just like 'our' James Shanes! Btw Avoid M6 NORTH .....broken down vehicle/s causing headache delays yet again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 It seems Masters is unable to ride as his VISA doesn't cover a meeting of this nature, so in this instance it isn't the fault of the BSPA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this is a trial for the format for league matches next year Hope it is infinitely better than Godfrey’s format from a few years ago otherwise we might as well give up on Speedway Edited September 12, 2018 by Gunner85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Last time i went to Birmingham for a speedway match was at the wheels complex in the 80s in the days of Doug Wyer and Reg Wilson, it was a total dust bowl that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) meeting poor to rubbish. crowd average to poor . maybe the track had something to play in it but as a spectacle 3/10 tops and to top it off only danny gappmaier could be arsed to ride the f2 bikes after credit to him .. rubbish format also needs tweaking if you get a injured rider they cant be replaced in 13-15 if you got a couple its meeting over for you Edited September 12, 2018 by ProudtobeaBrummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I thought the crowd was good, only seen Cradley at home a better attendance. Considering its an extra 3 pound tonight for a challenge match aswell. They will be pleased. Racing I agree wasnt great but again its a challenge. It was good to see Barker back and on on fire, if we do move up would love him back. That Gappmeier looks half decent aswell.

stevebrum Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Crowd was decent. Be interesting to hear what the Masons make of tonight if they judge it a success or not. as far as the management goes I wish them all the success they deserve, they work hard for it. They looked after us really well as guests of the club doing demonstration cycle speedway racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 A few more former Brummies in the Birmingham team would’ve enticed fans wouldn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Wasn't the best racing this season.....may be we expected too much ? Race win times were slower than the NL ones ? : ) I think we have to remember that a lot of the riders still have something to ride for with their respective clubs and may be didn't push it as much as they normally would have? Gappmaier looked impressive, as did Ashley Morris and it was good to see 'Barker's' trademark move on bends 1/2.....first time I've seen it this season....that guy has got some bottle! The only rider that looked out of place, was Lambert ? he really struggled for some reason ? Still, it was good to see '4' riders hitting the first bend from the tapes, as we only usually see 1 or 2 in the NL. Crowd looked reasonable considering ! Well done to the club for 'putting' this meeting together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
