Yes indeed always a concern when certain riders are programmed and the track is not perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an MDSL match on after so plenty of options for a number 8 not taken by Poole 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I don't think it happened..? But obviously you don't know that going into it. Bet they still don't do it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 This meeting wasn't the best match that I have seen this season although it was eventful! This is a typical picture of all spectator sports - there will be good matches and poor matches often for no apparent reason, so no track should be universally condemned as the cause when the latter is the case. The much loved and lamented Brandon track used always to be immaculately prepared and the riders very rarely had cause to complain about it - yet it regularly produced some very processional races and was often criticized as being "too smooth." I have witnessed some very good racing (and some poor stuff too) at Perry Barr this season and in seasons past and like the vast majority of supporters I accept that every meeting isn't going to be a cracker, so I don't blame, the track or the opposition when a meeting falls short of expectations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been around ages and getting markedly worse every season. Will never make a speedway rider. embarrassing to watch him struggle so badly.
