If schlein was there the meeting wouldn’t have taken place he would have talked all the young lads out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Well done to all the riders and track staff for providing a good meeting under very difficult circumstances. Very good to see Simon Lambert do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Why does Ellis always get criticised on this forum? Former British Champion and it's hardly a coincidence that he always features in the engine room of British clubs that end up winning silverware, Underrated rider imo. Good to see Dan retaining his title again last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both he and Birmingham speedway knew that, as soon as Poland started, he wouldn’t be able to continue with the Brummies. Why the veil of silence is anyone’s guess but Adam took a lot of stick for no good reason. Indeed, he should have been applauded for helping a team in desperate need in the best way he could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way of looking at it I suppose but all he had to do was put a statement out with the facts from his side, instead he decided to stay silent and was complicit in mugging the fans off Edited August 15, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Credit where credit is due the track team at Belle Vue worked wonders to get the meeting on. Not only was there heavy rain in Manchester at 17:00 the downpour prior to tapes off looked as though that would be it BUT the track team and Phil Morris got a meeting on. The riders should be applauded for giving it a go in not the best conditions and if raced at any other track I doubt the meeting would of taken place. Congratulations to Dan Bewley on winning the meeting and Steve Worrall the British SGP WildCard. Who did what he needed to do and now fully deserves his day on the big stage at the SGP. He may find it tough but fully deserves his opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think he is over rated base on what I don’t know.But he doesn’t deserve the all the criticism he gets.He has his moments just like most of the Brits these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say complicit, nothing to stop him saying something when he left... he chose not to. I'm not angry about it, I just think less of him for it. Like I think less of the Birmingham promotion for it... Rightly or wrongly I expect it from promoters, not the riders though.
