Birmingham v Oxford


Recommended Posts

My wife is away working in Birmingham this week with a bunch of fellow lawyers. She likes an occasional outing to speedway and plans to watch this match. She had hoped to persuade some of her colleagues to join her. The only one who was keen, who likes Moto X and whose husband watches speedway, can no longer attend because, in her husband's unexpected absence, she has to dash a hundred miles home to sort out a domestic matter. I'm told none of my wife's other colleagues - 10 of them! - have any idea what speedway is, and back-heeled the idea of going to Perry Barr in favour of yet another evening eating in a Birmingham city centre restaurant. Says a lot about speedway's profile now. Quite often, I meet people - especially twenty and thirty somethings - who haven't ever heard of speedway. Still, one more on the crowd tomorrow!

Sorry to say I can't see anything but an Oxford win here against a injury hit Top heavy but miss firing Brummies, I think it will me more a case of how respectable can Brum keep the scoreline ?, should be a few Cheetah's fans to help the attendance.

Personally I think Birmingham's changes strengthen them, will that be enough for them to win, who knows?

An update: my wife's interested colleague has managed to sort out her domestic issue therefore does not have to return home. So, they're going together tomorrow. The colleague is "very excited" about the prospect of watching speedway for the first time. And who wouldn't be?

Fancy people saying saying no to something they don't know what it is! At least have a look on YT first :D

You do wonder! On that basis, you'd never try anything new.

It does in the current state of affairs (simply because Wright couldnt beat an egg atm)....but, I can't see where the points are going to come from apart from using Morris as  a T/S in one of his rides?

Sedgemen has only won 2 races at home all season? Alfie has improved greatly and might get a 2nd place....Mountain has had 8 rides at PB this season and hasn't won any (and that's against us) ?

We haven't had one race winner in Heat 15 at home..... ALL season!

And what motivation is LR going to inject ?

We need a miracle!

Many people are reluctant to try new things especially when risking disappointment if they have  loads of other dependable stuff in their lives.

Watched tonight’s stream. What was LR thinking of when he wasted a tactical sub ride in heat 5 against the leagues best rider and not to even use his number one ! And ironically Sedgmen could have ridden anyway as R/R

also not using R/R at 2 seems daft too and then using 4th top scorer in the nominated heat when he hasn’t ridden for 5 heats. Unbelievable

The sooner Rogers is sacked the better!

He's an absolute joke!

We will fold lf he stays in charge of team affairs!

Looking forward to hearing Brian Buck defend him once again?

Brian...have some balls and say it how it is.

Rogers is undoing all your hard work!

Maybe get MF to guest team manage as he just got Poole to 64! ;)
