Deano Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) the wheels is up for re-development, so it will disappear. current tennents have been told to leave. I enjoyed last night, role on Plymouth. A much better performance by the lads. Drinks of cordial I believe for kids and pints of tap water with ice at the bar are FREE! Fill your boots.. I did.

brianbuck Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 It can often be difficult to accurately assess crowd levels at Perry Barr, especially on a night like last night when it was unbearably hot. On these sort of evenings many spectators who normally don't care for watching the racing from inside, will change their stance and go into the bar which is air conditioned and allows them to watch the meeting without sweltering. The same situation also occurs on very cold nights when the bar is centrally heated and much more comfortable. For what it is worth, I thought the attendance was a bit better last night than in the previous two meetings. I'm not saying we do not need more if the speedway is to become viable, but it is at least a good sign, and if the quality of the racing that we saw last night can be maintained, then the signs are positive. I know that the new track curator Dixie Dean, is working hard on the track surface, and it is showing a definite improvement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very sad that all fans can do is moan, always looking for the negative, No mention yet of a great nights racing, pleanty of passing , a great performance by all of the Brummies, no mention of Grobauer being on the pace, ash back to form , a great perfomace by Paco who beat Jake Allen,, Riss with his jaw dopping ride against the air fence in ht 15., come on peeps lighten up.

Triple.H. Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 On the site if you buy advance tickets it asks you to choose an area to stand, do you have to remain in that particular area or is that just a link to pre 19th july restrictions ?

Yearbyred Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 How bad did Charles Wright’s fall look last night? I see he is missing tonight for Belle Vue. At this rate we could have 4 guests and R/R on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate we could have 4 guests and R/R on Friday! Went hard under Harris and ran out of room and went down. More of a heavy slide off tho managed to walk off the track unaided albeit with a bit of a limp. Obviously in some discomfort but generally they carry on regardless nowadays. Might have stiffened up over night and might be airing on the side of caution tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed as we are already down 4 riders and can’t afford to lose him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
