Speedway fan Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 BIRMINGHAM supporters will be able to relive the night Speedway racing returned to Perry Barr this Wednesday (May 27, 7.30). The Alan Hunt Memorial Trophy will be the focus of the latest 'Brummies In Your Living Room' series which has proved popular among the club's fanbase. Team manager Laurence Rogers said: "As soon as this current season was delayed we were keen to provide supporters with their regular Wednesday night racing fix by bringing them old meetings online. "At first we stuck to a selection of our meetings from last season but now we've decided to dig deeper into the archives. "For the foreseeable future we'll be extending our series and supporters will be able to relive some dramatic fixtures from over the past 13 years or so. "Our thanks once again go to ReRun Productions for providing us with the footage and we hope supporters continue to enjoy these streams while it is viable to bring them their way." A link, featuring nearly 90 minutes of footage including interviews with Ivan Mauger, Tony Mole, Graham Drury and Jason Lyons among others, will be posted on the club's official website and social media channels at 7.30 prompt this Wednesday (May 27). The fixture took place on March 21, 2007 and a competitive field was assembled for the historic re-opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be "sports" TV stations busting a gut to show some "Live sport", and as has been said online and telephone betting won't be impaired. That said, even in "normal days" there were never more than 20 spectators at afternoon dog meetings. You could space them out 10 metres apart and there would be room to spare. Maybe the punters could tic-tac their bets in to the bookies too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a 6 to 10 year stretch.. what a fool as he has some talent on a bike Sounds like he didn't have a very good upbringing? (not making excuses for him) Such a waste......he's a very likeable character (in speedway terms) and a terrific entertainer on a bike! Wished that he'd had better guidance in life! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) It seems the first phase of the Perry Barr regeneration programme, which eventually lead to demolition of the Flyover on the A34 will commence from next Monday for 18 months. Seems in the first phase the Flyover will still be in use. https://www.tfwm.org.uk/news/travel-advice-issued-ahead-of-road-works-in-perry-barr/ Edited June 1, 2020 by Brummie Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park in One Stop Shopping Centre - pedestrian route to the stadium will be altered. Parks on-street on Walsall Road - don't be surprised if Walsall Road on-street parking is suspended. Parks in Stadium Car Park - capacity will be reduced when a portion of the car park by the decrepit "next fixture board" is acquired for road widening. STILL, as the probability is that there won't be any speedway this year, it won't matter too much. Next year, with the flyover coming down, Aldridge Road between the stadium and the railway station being closed, and the road widening work right on the stadium carpark doorstep going on, that will be more "fun".

Such a fine collage of images of all those crashes and stuff, that it's almost too much to take in when passing by. Ever heard of "less is more"? Too bad that leaving enough room to fit in the names and dates of the next fixtures was forgotten about in the design. Seeing information written in felt tipped pen on cardboard and pinned onto the end of the board, really doesn't impress, I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway fan Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 the next fixture boards are not cardboard pinned on !! There are proper names and date boards that hang below the ad board that Brian Buck keeps updated !! The design of the boards unfortunately are not what you would produce but have been well received there and on other sites we have them . At least we have made an effort and replaced the old boards which were falling apart and not eye catching .... we have had families come who saw the new ones who said we wondered what speedway was when we saw the old boards but the new ones showed us what it was ....and they have become regulars as we increase the number of youngsters coming and provide them with interval fun and games where they join the riders on the centre green .

You sound like one of the many CleverDicks who know exactly how to promote Speedway but have never had to guts to do it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
