HGould Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Fair to say I think that any Promotion needs "luck" and for a variety of reasons Mason's not getting any at moment on or off the track. Wish them well as tonight will be a tough sell at the Turnstiles for floating fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Question: Why were Birmingham allowed to sign Adam Ellis when he already had other commitments on Wednesdays, what's worse he's your undisputed number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think David and Peter are being let down by fans....not luck.....they're giving us what we've been asking for and B'ham fans are not backing the club like they were probably led to believe? Lets face it....speedway is a very hard product to sell these days, especially in a City as big as B'ham (lots of competition) and not much interest from local communities! just my opinion!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to see a list of other meetings that he's not available for, before we can pass judgement on that one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eM_Pe Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Well that was hugely entertaining! Big, big congratulations to the people who prepared such a wonderful track with all the rain we've had here recently. Marvelous result from Wright, and some great action from Paco, Nicol (the kid is positively mad, can we have more of him if opportunity arises?), and Shanes. Coles and Aarnio also showed great commitment. After Heat 1 I was worried that Worrall would remain unbeaten all night... But then Paco happened! The guests have still definitely offered some good racing. This was a great advertisement for Brummie speedway. Well done everyone! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Brum are in an injury crisis but that was a woeful quartet. Shanes was in the Semi final of the European Grass track. ( which he won), which takes precedence and Paco was recalled by the Italian Federation for a three day event which they wouldn’t release him from Stoneman and Morris both got injured on Monday and were not fit to ride Zac Wajtknecht retired we only had two riders fit / available a joke!!!!

brianbuck Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Don't see why this situation should be described as a "joke." If a club has only two fit/available riders then it can't track a four-man team - and mercifully, guest riders aren't allowed in this competition.

GiveusaB Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 The outcome would've still been the same had we had our strongest 4 out …. imo !? I don't think we should dwell on it, or have need to judge/comment.....it was what it was ? Looking forward to the announcement of Zach's replacement and hopefully another home win against Glasgow!

uk_martin Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 You have to hand it to the Brummies Spin Doctors, turning a stone cold last finish into "Brummies were knocked out in the semi-final stages" That's as near to a silk purse that a sows ear can ever be turned into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Shanes and Castagna should have been available for one of the domestic National Titles up for grabs in British Speedway.. The reality is, on the day, Birmingham had FOUR fit riders to take up FOUR places. Good odds that.... Letting riders, and other federations, dictate to British Speedway when it can (and in this case cannot), run a credible offering to the public is a large part of the sports malaise... And shouldn't be accepted.. Edited June 25, 2019 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
