I can only say I'm sorry for using the S word you most certainly are not. I guess when two people are so passionate about a cause they can miss that they are on the same page. Believe me no team on this island respects its ex and fallen military like HMFC. I wear the McCrae's Battalion poppy everyday at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 If Claus Vissing was given a 28 day ban on July 9th 2022 (http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3196) then how come the Brummies were still using a guest for him 32 days later on 10th August against Berwick? Surely the ban had ended, and the guest facility had ended with it on 6th August? Did the Brummies team manager put together an illegal team for that meeting? Just wondering.

Who was the 'ghost' guest? It can't have been Starke as his GSA is below Brennan's. As Douglas took an R/R ride it must have been some notional rider with an average over 6.88 (but below Douglas - otherwise he'd have been at no 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway fan Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 it was a challenge match to honour and remember Alan Grahame . Starke was a late withdrawal being unfit after his crash last week so R/R was on]y option and being a challenge no averages were used in what was a good entertaining meeting with a good crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Very enjoyable meeting. Saw some old faces not seen in a while Thank You all concerned at Brummies Fingers crossed for 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I listened to the speedway podcast with Nigel Tolley on speaking on the future of the brummies. Interesting that hes saying that riders are approaching him and that he's already building the team. I wonder who Birmingham will end up with? I could see Harris returning for sure along with Paco. Ben Pearson probably deserves another chance and sedgmen is a decent outfit. 1. Harris 2. Morris 3. Pickering 4. Paco 5. Sedgmen 6. Joe Thomson 7. B. Pearson Pure fun and guessing going on!! Think that's a decent side with room for improvement. Not amazing but neither a super expensive one Edited September 15, 2022 by FishersGate Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I think the Wednesday race night, the central locaction and what is now a good track again appeals to riders. Ultimately it will come down to the pounds, shillings and pence but good to hear that riders want to be there. Hopefully the public will respond to good promotion.

GiveusaB Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Josh Pickering - Stefan Nielsen - Chris Harris - James Pearson - and most likely, but reluctantly (IMO) Ashley Morris - James Shanes - Paco Castagna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
