Rain forecast from 7pm ..... "just being honest" ! 

Not just rain but persistent rain for 4 hours. Accuweather thinks it might be a bit later so if they are right you might get 10 heats in. But the other main sites suggest a very poor outlook.

Another management error... why oh why didn't Shanes replace Pearson in Heat 12? 

Yep.

Absolutely baffling decision in heat 15 putting Shanes in ahead of howarth. Cost the brummies the match.

Yep

Who made that heat 15 decision for brummies, has soon as I saw line up I knew we had lost, terrible decision

Laurence Rogers, the genial team manager... I read somewhere that James Shanes mows Rogers's lawn for him so there's obviously some favouritism going on, guaranteeing his favourite lawn mower extra rides to give him a decent pay day at the clubs expense rather than paying a decent wage out of his own pocket for cutting the grass.

And obviously you know what is happening in pits slumping over your computer, dope, proper fans are absolutely sick of your comments, totally negative and quite frankly unwelcome and if you want to make yourself known to me personally about your reference to my son in post on earlier page I will welcome your pathetic response

I assume you heard that in your circle of friends who like you don’t know owt??? Shanes lives around 200 miles for the boss!! Think you might find it’s another rider who might do that in his spare time, next time get your facts right before making a complete fool of yourself

Yes its actually the captain that mows the lawn and uses the same sit on mower for speedway. ;)

Im not even a brum fan but thats criminal from LR if it was just a matter of showing loyalty to a brum rider rather than using howarth in ht 15.

 

Vissing would have been a more understandable shout.

Shanes and morris not beating heeps in 14 the killer there

 Match report on   Birmingham site states Howarth refused heat 15 due to track conditions due to the rain getting heavier

Before jumping to conclusions did Howarth want to ride in heat 15 or anyone else. The weather was horrible, track wet and was Shane's the only willing volunteer?

Just seemed an odd decision after all the previous hard work. If the match was in the bag, it’s different.

Ok before I jump the gun here again- Pearson already had 5 points on the board which at that point was more then Shane’s - so what is the logic here? He had been gating well in the conditions and simply just missed the gate in the final heat otherwise he would of been right in the middle of the action again, as he seems to be always. I actually think he deserved his final ride for the night.
