You can bet that Barker will be on fire.....Nicholls is usually unbeatable.....he's the best rider that I've seen around PB in recent seasons. Nicholls wasn't so good Ashley Morris didn't beat him crucially in beat 14 when Kent visited last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mike is very passionate about Plymouth tbf to him. See on Birmingham's twitter that they put down 20,000 litres of water today Be interesting to know if it is enough on a hot day like today! Unless you're an Aussie and then it is just a mild day! Edited June 15, 2022 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerbat1875 Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Going for a 45 all draw, Brummies need to win the home matches but again I think its down to the reserves, shanes should get at least 6 or 7 points tonight, hopefully pearson can weigh in with 4 or 5, if the don't it's a Plymouth win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Deluded maybe but I think Shanes Morris and Neilsen are very capable of out scoring Bowtell, Coles and Morley and that could be significant. Im confident that Pickering, Sedgeman and Wells can match Plymouth heat leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been warm today but cloudy, hardly seen any sun. 15 miles North admittedly. Can't imagine weather will have caused any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the Brummies fans were conned over the Ellisgate affair, and this "MissingVissinggate" is a blatant attempt to con the rest of the league, not to mention the fans.

Danish clubs squad system was always a bit of a risk but one the club had to take to with no other options readily available and season rapidly approaching, be delighted to hear what you'd have done differently?. Ellis gate, no con intended, all concerned hoped it would be for the season but logistically for both parties and financially for the club it couldn't carry on, no hard feelings from either party and his replacement has scored well in the majority of the meetings, so I don't think anyone was intentionally conned, sorry if you feel that you were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Ok meeting I suppose, decent close racing early on but became processional. Of the three Gladiators exclusions the only one I'm convinced was the correct decision was the second, Pearson got to the first turn ahead & clamped Morley. Morley took a nasty tumble locking up hard. The other two I didn't have a great view of... instinct would suggest Andersen deserved to go, Bowtell didn't. Thanks to Josh Pickering for making the meeting a contest. Why you wanted to go off gate 2 in heat 15 I do not know! Question is did he pass Nicholls in heat 13 before Nicholls bike packed up? The only Brummie that can be satisfied with that performance is Neilsen. Ok bet he feels rough! two falls & a push for a point Shanes & Morris were down on their modus operandi of 2021, Sedgeman was poor - gated once, had 4 laps to pass a visiting reserve but never looked likely to do so. Wells was anonymous. Pearson gave a point away in heat 2 but can't expect much more. Barker clearly knows the quickest way around PB still. Andersen scored more than he probably deserved. Nicholls was good value, expect more from MPT. Bowtell & Morley did enough, Coles wasn't too far off the pace but never looked like scoring. I won't be coming again.until I don't have to drive to Wednesbury to get on.the M6! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanes, Morris & Nielsen = 22 pts Bowtell, Coles & Morley = 5 pts Pickering, Sedgmen & Wells = 22 pts Barker, Andersen & Nicholls = 33 pts Despite Pickering top scoring, it was the lower half of the team that won it for Birmingham it seems!

After a slow start to the guesting game (for him), Scott has now started to come to the party.... Maybe the TV work has got in the way a bit "early doors"? Hopefully he can now make up for a bit of lost time.. Maybe now Scott is back in the guesting saddle it will encourage more riders to join in which can only add variety, as we dont see enough of some of these riders sometimes... Some of which seem quite happy it would appear to ride for no more than just a paltry six or seven teams all year... It does make a bit of a mockery of the sport when only a few riders guest, so its important that the likes of Scott start to contribute more to this wonderfully derived system... After all. It helps makes UK Speedway what it is... Edited June 16, 2022 by mikebv 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
