Birmingham vs Poole 25th May

[ruckerroo]

When you think what brennans been thru in a relatively young career its amazing, a horrific crash where things were touch and go for a bit, family trauma etc. He is the one youngster that looks capable of getting properly on the world stage if things go his way the next 2-3 yrs. The result was predictable, theres just a huge gulf between best and worst in this league, as big as its ever been i think .

The fact he's starting to break in to Poland and Europe can only enhance him up the escalotor as it did with Ty; Lambert and most recently Bewley.

If he can secure regular spot at Rawicz and in the U24 League once he is no longer eligible for U21 Events it won't do him any harm at all.

It's a double edged sword though as that reduces his UK options (unless the Poles loosen the restrictions) but with Belle Vue in the PL and Glasgow on a Friday in CL, hopefully he can remain in the UK Leagues for a while longer.

The adversity he's been through with injuries and his mom have no doubt strengthened him mentally and he deserves all the plaudits he gets.

The time he spent with young riders last night afterwards; when it would have been so easy to load up his van and vanish, as the majority do, was wonderful to see.

Actually was pushed into the fence by some dirty riding . But that is racing isn’t it.

By being last into the bend? That’s a new one.

The whole of the Brummies team have been disappointing this season so far even though I can't attend anymore

Change the team manager,the club beggar,I do everything behind the scenes without being paid etc.etc.Just maybe,maybe things will move on

If I'm out of of order with my comments then please let me know

Please can the Brummies be a competitive outfit instead of just making up the numbers in the Championship league 

You are totally right with your observations.

B'ham need to replace the manager, let him stay on and help organise the track (soon see if he's still as keen to be involved...)

But, to read that home fans were leaving around Heat10 last night is very worrying.

I think fans have lost respect/belief whilst Rogers is running the show.

Nice guy or not...it's not what's going to bring in the necessary fans/numbers.

Had a chat with the Brum promoter in the pits last night. They got a good deal on second ambulance so that hole is covered. They need more fans through the gate though. Thought the attendance was poor to be honest. Certainly not enough fans there.

Racing wise it was follow the leader for the first half. Riders tried but failed to make up ground on the rider in front. Stefan Neilsen was excellent for Brum with two from the gate wins before a great effort in his third where he blasted down the back straight passing the two Pirates before overcooking it and falling. With Brennan and to a lesser extent Sedgmen, Brum put up a fight in the first part of the meeting. But once Pirates got dialled in it was one way traffic.

The track improved and Ben Cook went from 4th to 2nd to give Poole a 5-1. All three Pirates heat leaders were good as was Drew Kemp, who has shown this season what he is capable of. Should be in the top 5 next GS? 

And a mention to Nathan Ablitt who saw off Person with ease.

It's called hard riding! 

How long have you been watching speedway???

idiot me here you go again - a lot longer then you that’s for sure - and just to add a lot closer to speedway then You as well. 
 

one thing for sure is I am sick of reading all you lot winge about the riders where 99% of you have never even ridden one. You are all such experts but have never seen you put any money into the sport - as for you GiveusaB put your hand up and be the team manager ! Simple - but no you would rather slag everyone off.

Thought so - I look forward to the announcement next year that you are the new team manager and investor in the club.

Give it a rest for christ's sake - people are entitled to their opinions whether you like it or not...

This is a discussion forum, not a playground for throwing around childish insults.

If that’s the case all I see on this forum is insults towards the riders and the management? Sometimes the truth hurts.

Maybe they could talk Will Pottinger in to help on a short term basis to take the pressure off Laurence if they felt it was needed? 

He'd be an excellent addition to the set up at Brum

And it look like you're the one who's hurting 

So far as 'truth' goes...point of reference ? Adam Ellis signing ? where was the truth in that !?

Sorry Osirian08, I couldn't resist!

I'll behave now...

Wow68 ....if you don't like 'opinions' then you might be better off staying away from forums.

Can only think that Pearson was shook up, or damaged his equipment in his Heat2 fall ?

Boring - I was hoping for something a little better then that from you - considering how long it was for you to reply.

I have told you before - I have nothing to do with who the club signs or not - so irrelevant point in regards to Ellis.

Actually the chassis was bent and the pit crew only noticed after third ride.

There was a rumour last night that Adam Ellis left because they couldn't afford him, can't see that myself I would think there are other reasons why he went.
