Hackett Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Saw on Twitter that the Brummies announced he is out for the season. So for remainder of '22 Birmingham will have more guests than a Premier Inn. Edited July 17, 2022 by Hackett 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good prospect but never delivered consistently above NDL level where he's ended back at with Mildenhall. Probably make more money weekends on grass and long track in Europe.

Think that was another one. We were up against it from day one that year, then the injury to Big Al made things a whole lot worse. We were allocated Jiri Stancl but he refused to join us and went to Cov instead. At least we didn't finish bottom of the league though, somehow we finished above Swindon.

In one meeting I recall the ambulance coming out onto the track before the start of a race! I think it was one of our newly acquired reserves (Bogh or Szczepanik, excuse the spelling) practicing a start and fell off. You couldn’t make it up. Summed up the Lions 1976 campaign, but at least it was a good summer! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summed up the Lions 1976 campaign, but at least it was a good summer! Yes, however poor the Brummies were in the late 70s - and they were - we always finished above Leicester in the league! As for Swindon: I remeber a match in which their two top riders (Jan Anderson and Martin Ashby?) took RR and TS in just about every heat, and scored about 30 between them; and the Brummies still won! As for the summer: we have been bleating about the heat for the last two days. In 1976 it was like that for three months ... I used to go out to work with a gallon of orange juice, drank the lot and never peed a drop. Sweated it all out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was our last home league match of 1977 and we won 41-37. The Robins were using R/R for the injured Martin Ashby and Alan Grahame won a rerun heat 13 to beat Bob Kilby and Jan Andersson, stopping Kilby getting a full 18 point maximum into the bargain. Kilby ended up with 17 points from 6 rides and Andersson 16+2 from 7 out of that total of 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Great News! The McDonalds Drive-Thru over the road from the stadium, which replaced the Seventh Trap pub, is now open for business, and is happily serving customers. So, from demolition of the Seventh Trap, realigning Regina Drive, and bringing the construction up to opening, in only 16 weeks, that's an impressive achievement.

Wonder what the rush was for,surely they weren’t expecting that big a jump in Brummie attendances.!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
