GiveusaB Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Our reserves will need to step up their game tonight....Lawlor and Mountain ride PB extremely well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yes, Brum are going to struggle at reserve and the pair of them have to cover Shanes rides as only Castagna of the top 5 can. Unless Brummies name a number 8? I assume that is still the rule!. Danyon Hume maybe? While he is erratic he is quicker than Agertoft & Jenkins. Not sure Ellis would be keen to partner him again though. IMO it would be worth switching Castagna to #2, Aarnio #4 and have R/R at #3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing that a number 8 would have to be a 2.00 rider not attached to any other Championship club so whilst an opportunity for someone it seems unlikely unless Wallinger is keen on the ride.

Go up the M6 to junction 7, then it's two miles south along the A34. I park outside the warehouses before the flyover; you don't have to find your way round the island to the One Stop and don't have to cross the roads.

Brummies_Ste Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Change to the Brummies line up tonight Jordan Jenkins is taking a break from the sport & will not ride again this season confirmed on Kents site Connor Coles steps in tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 If I was coming from Leicester, I wouldn't touch the M6 between Juncts 5 - 7! It can be a nightmare. I'd get off at Junction 5 and take the Tyburn Rd to Witton....head for Witton Cemetery and your 5 mins away from there! Park on Holford Drive (free) practically opposite the stadium. That's my opinion/advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 The manager will hopefully swap the reserves around tonight in certain races, so that Agertoft competes against a Leicester reserve in ALL of his rides!? Coles will have no chance of beating either Leicester reserve, so stick him in all the hard races with nothing to lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 If Mr Bump does decide to come from Leicester on the M6, he should leave at Junction 7 and head towards Birmingham City Centre on the A34. The stadium is on the left just a couple of miles from the junction. Stay on the A34 until you reach the big flyover, and be sure to keep to the left of it, and the carpark entrance is half way round the curve on the left hand side. Don't go over the flyover - if you do you can't get off it until you are almost in Aston. Hope you enjoy your visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles has put in good scores everytime he’s guested in the championship this season? Better scores than Agertoft from what I’ve seen? Unless Coles is useless around PB?

Col Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 For those at the meeting, West Bromwich Albion are at home to Reading. If you don't make a swift get away when the M5 merges with the M6 it's going to be horrific. I did mean to mention this before but I forgot.

Col Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) If I've seen a more convincing away win in Speedway I'm not sure when. 5 home heat wins all night isn't good but only four visiting 0's on the scorecard tells the story. Ellis was poor, easily passed by Nicholls when on a Tac Sub in heat 7 with a clever cut back, only one heat win is not good enough from a #1. Looked slow. Aarnio & Castagna were OK, they got the only home heat advantages of the night. Aarnio did well to deny Nichols a maximum but the meeting was effectively over as a contest by then. Castagna is too nice & is infuriatingly obsessed with the curb. Should have been more ruthless down the back straight on a couple of occasions, particularly in heat 9 he had a huge lead over Douglas exiting turn 2. Garrity was entertaining because he was having clutch issues & even when he didn't go off 15 metres was giving the other 3 a head start. Only beat the Lions reserves & Douglas but that took a wall of death style effort. Agertoft won heat 2, then picked up a few points from the Lions reserves. All you can ask for from a reserve. Coles proved to be a mobile chicane for a few laps in each of his rides. Worrall gated & was fast 4 times, did nothing when he missed the gate. The two Lions reserves, Perks & Nicholls all impressed. Douglas less so but still did as much as was required of him. Gate 1 seemed a bit of a graveyard tonight, odd. Having seen 3 of the 4 likely playoff contenders at Perry Barr this year, Leicester look the team to beat to me.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Fair assessment Col very disappointing from a Brummies perspective. Hope the good contingent of Leicester fans enjoyed it and had a safe journey home . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bump Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Many thanks to all the advice given to me about visiting the stadium. Enjoyed the evening. Great cut-back pass by Nicholls on Ellis in heat 6. Crazy brilliant outside pass by Garrity on Douglas in heat 13 was superb. Thought the track walk was a nice idea too. Is that a regular thing? Good turnout of Lions fans. Hope the remainder of the season brings you some better luck & better results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
