Hoping Auty can get an engine that goes forward in time for Wednesday. Main website states that new-owners are hoping for a big response from fans...well as a fan, I'd like to flip that statement and say that the fans are hoping for a big and far better response from the team/riders! Auty has lived on his home form for Scunthorpe for a few years now.Not looking good for Brummies with him.

Very early days and as you say new mach8nery. Couple that with him riding just a handful of meets at the start of last year and the covid season he is going to be very rusty. As long as the riders get dialled in at perry barr you cant ask for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Well, looking at the weather forecast, I think that Josh is going to get another week to sort his equipment out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative postings don't help with weather !! Ok! I wont mention the weather again I was looking at it from a positive angle though.....Auty getting another week to sort a competitive machine out..... For the record, I looked at the usual reliable Met Office. I think most keen speedway fans look at the forecast first thing on a Monday regardless of whether I/someone else posts their findings. As for the fixture? a poor display at Leicester (making this a dead rubber) will have done more to the attendance record than the weather forecast IMO. I do hope I'm wrong of course Edited April 4, 2022 by GiveusaB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope I'm wrong of course To give it a positive spin it can be classed as a challenge match where the home riders are out against good visiting opposition to get dialled in to the track with no pressure of league points on there back!

Gerbat1875 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Cant really see a massive attendance to be fair, Brummies fans know the tie is gone and Leicester fans know they have the tie in the bag, I get the feeling about 200/300 maximum attendence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 By heck the dismal jimmies are at it again, dead rubber or not fans will turn out to see if we can beat a top club with an attractive team and to see our lads stretch their legs for the first time, in my opinion the weather will be the biggest factor on crowed level.

Historian Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Several months ago a new free newspaper the "Chronical" was launched, it is I believe distributed around the whole West Midlands, this week it featured a full page article on Wolverhampton Speedway and there has been a couple of other reports on Wolves. A few months back it featured a full page article on the fight to get Speedway back at Cradley. So far not a single word on the Brummies. This paper is pushed through every letterbox in the districts surrounding the stadium, someone is missing a trick , please note, Mr Tolley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathen52 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Is it this https://www.mnamedia.co.uk/chronicle-week-launches-as-britains-biggest-free-weekly-newspaper/ https://www.expressandstar.com/news/business/2018/11/02/chronicle-week-launches-as-britains-biggest-free-weekly-newspaper/#comments-disqus or even this https://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2021/news/axed-editor-involved-as-title-launches-on-patch-of-defunct-weekly-he-ran/ Its one of them I would think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Looks like its run by the Wolverhampton based Express & Star, who don't really cover Birmingham. They don't have Birmingham City FC match reports for example (although they do cover Aston Villa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This paper is pushed through every letterbox in the districts surrounding the stadium, someone is missing a trick , please note, Mr Tolley I don't think it's a NEW paper. Various free editions of the Chronicle cover specific areas and have been free and widely distributed for years. Some cover Wolverhampton and include Wolves. Some include the "Black Country" and include Cradley. Most of the non football/cricket reporting is generic accross various areas. The Express and Star Group has always been less in evidence once cross over into the "Greater Birmingham Area" long the area covered by the old "Birmingham Post and Mail". Many Brummies fans will live in the area covered by Post and Mail; and some who come across from the West of the M5/M6 areas like Walsall / Aldridge / Lichfield etc will be far more likely to get a version of "The Chronicle" that you refer to. The best example is the old PINK sports paper on a Saturday - the hugely popular Sports Argus that was a Birmingham Post and Mail production widely popular all accross the western Midlands and further out and the less popular Sporting Star - produced by the Express and Star Group who produce the Chronicle. Any publicity in these free rags is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
