StephenMiller Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Turns 1 & 2 have been causing loads of issues last 2 weeks due to the bumpy surface, a few nasty looking spills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, however fairly local, living in Rugby and temporarily supporting Leicester until the Bees return. I would hate to see another speedway go to the wall (it is a subject on which I am familiar) and would consider attending this fixture simply to show my support. Not to mention watching a bit more speedway. But, and it's a big but, I was at Perry Barr last Wednesday. The track was poor to say the least and the dust from heat 1 was a disgrace. Such things can happen as a one off I know but there is evidence that the track was not much different the week before. Sorry, but if there is a real risk that the track is going to be the same this Wednesday I'll stay home. I've got 3 meetings planned for the weekend anyway. I'm 100% in the same situation as you, except I live in Leicester. I went to the Redcar re-opening match and the Leicester match, both times the track was unacceptably dusty, I may have gone along to this to support the sport in the city had the basics been done in either of these matches, as the basics weren't done, I'm sorry to say I shall stay at home and watch a movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted August 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Berwick don't really have a "big hitter" unlike Kent & Leicester, especially with a rising star guesting for their #1, no excuses for Riss tonight must get a big score.

That rising star played a massive part in us beating Poole! Not expecting a huge score considering he’s riding at no.1 but I’m more than happy with seeing him in our team line up again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a rising star in this league though. Pushing a near 7 average come the new month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Brennan is a class act around PB.....he's guested for us in the past and beat some big hitters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normski Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Good guest Brennan rode well for us against Poole. I expect Spud and Leon to be amongst the points having both ridden for Birmingham. Depends what Jye and Gapp turn up as to whether we get anything out of this meeting. My prediction which was miles off last night at Kent lol 49-41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted August 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 With 10 mins before parade, crowd does seem to have dwindled. With Albion playing a couple of miles away, not unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) According to Updates site Berwick have named Greg Blair at number 8, yet they are not using R/R. How does that work?? Edited August 18, 2021 by StevePark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
