Steve Shovlar Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) First league meeting for Pirates and one that might well go down to the wire. Pirates starting the season well and living up to being title favourites, but Birmingham wasn’t a good place to go last season when we were turned over very easily and suffered the loss of Stefan Neilsen to a bad injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Pirates never got to grips with a tricky track and Paco Castagna, Shanes and Morris all scoring well. This season though it’s all change and we start again on hopefully a better prepared circuit. Pirates need to come away with at least a point but will surely be targeting 3. Hopefully the weather will be better and the crowd big. Looking forward to coming up for what should be a thriller. Thoughts? Will Birmingham hold off the Pirates to bag a home win, or will Poole prove a little too strong?

LisaColette Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Well sounds like the track is a lot better now and sorted from the base like what happened at Poole, so should be good racing! Prediction wise I can't decide, so I'll sit on the fence and say a draw lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Feel like the Pirates will hot 50 again. Re-laid track at Brum takes away any home advantage and rider for rider Poole just look better. Morris aside have any of the Brum team given a decent account of themselves yet? A run of tough opposition is only going to darken the mood around Perry Barr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Will definitely be a 'cracker' ! King/Lawson/Worrall are all double figure score riders at PB. Where as, we only have Vissing/Ellis that will potentially bag 10 points or more..... It will come down to the second strings scrapping for the minor placings. I'll go for 40-50 Poole win....but with some close racing now that the track is in great condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
