GiveusaB Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Its obviously going to be a hammering on Wednesday. I'm guessing that the management also expect this as no guest employed for Auty ? What are others thoughts on this ? I'm assuming its about keeping costs down ? I'm not fussed either way. I think R/R at home meetings is a no brainer, but 'winnable' away meetings (and there's not many) might be more advantageous to have a guest? May be Danny Gappmaier might re-consider and be a half decent replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Birmingham & Newcastle both need major help & I hope the BSPA nobbies are helping in the search & finance of better quality riders for when these 2 club's average's are issued again.

Was on the train to Oxford last week to watch Poole, Coventry & Reading were amongst other stops for the train.......one day I thought it would be great getting off the train again for sum speedway at those venues. Have a great time down at Wimborne Road, superb race track. Sadly, no news about Reading - the Smallmead site remains barren and used for a car park on Football match days Great to see Oxford back up and running, can only hope the same for Coventry one day. Very much looking forward to Wimborne Rd tomorrow night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) A quick note for anyone travelling from the East (Bournemouth and beyond) to Poole Stadium this evening - Canford Way and Dorset Way around the Mannings Heath roundabout and Tower Park areas are CLOSED due to planned resurfacing. Diversions are in place but its very congested at peak times. PS. The May Greensheets are out with Captain Danny King moving to Number 1 from 3rd May.

But I guess letting his team mate take the win on the line made sure that didn’t happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told at Lakeside some years agi that Lawson didn't like being v in heat 1 so would seek to let teammates win and pick up the bonus point when possible and safe to do so. The rumour was that he was often late because Mrs L took so long doing her make up. So Heat 4 was his favoured first race.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Good weather down here today. Looking forward to seeing some racing. Hopefully Brum will put up a better fight than Oxford and gate. Pointless seeing our boys gate and clear off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will depend what Vissing does. Also Birmingham have no pressure, so they can completely just go for it. Be interested to see how Pearson gets on.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Pretty awful track conditions tonight led to a dull gate and go meeting. Far too slick and underwatered. They were watering the track before the meeting but it needed more by heat 8 and nothing. Just grading. Got quite dusty at the end and some riders were far from happy. Get the water down. Sod it if riders moan. The paying public come first. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Think most teams will be happy to get 35 at Wimbourne Rd especially when their#1 does nothing. Ellis as an ex-Pugwasher must be disappointed not to have lowered the colours of Lawson & Worrall. Fair play to Morris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Have to agree the track was not upto recent standard being far too slick and dusty from early on. Brummies kept it reasonable upto mid meeting then after a succession of 3-3s the Pirates banged in 5-1s in heats 13 and 15 to finish things off. Stevie's last meeting at 1 until Danny takes over in May at least and Steve moves to 3 with Richard Lawson to 5 according to Steve's interview when receiving his Rider of the Night award.
