Providing BV get their gating sorted they will win, however Perry Barr is pretty much a gaters track and if they miss the gate can't see them coming from behind, forget going wide on bend 1&2 nowt out there for anyone, bends 3&4 can occasionally give riders some hope of a pass, weather shouldn't be a problem so looking forward to this meeting.

After Milik's score in Poland today I wouldnt hold out much hope for Birmingham - Pawliicki was better however!

Can only se a BV win here I am afriad, but will be watching.

Looking at this https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/maps-and-charts/precipitation-map#?bbox=[[51.62142713341988,-4.696655273437501],[53.33415333620371,0.9173583984375001]]&model=ukmo-ukv&layer=precipitation-type&timestep=1714381200000

Looks like Perry Barr is on the edge of a weather front and it's not the heavy stuff, I'm still thinking the meeting will be on, actually the sun has been out most of the morning here in Cradley Heath with a strong drying wind.

Looks doubtful to me? bit similar to the last match....might get started, but most likely wont finish!?

Bewley rode there in 2016 for Belle Vue in the NL got 17 from 7.

Only two others left riding from that meeting as well, Hume and Jack Smith. Shame as there were some good prospects in there

If there's dirt on the track and an outside line, then I back B'ham to win!

There hasn't been so far this season.... god knows why they have prepared the track as slick as a motorway, as Brummies never are good gaters

I know...very strange....I thought they'd spent a shed load on new shale during the summer?

They were gating the first meeting against Sheffield in their 45-45 draw/loss Flint and Milik top scored.

But since they have looked to be going backwards at the gate, cant make it tonight but hope big time

they can scrounge a win !.

Need heat 1 at 7.30 then & not 7 50 like most Tv matches cut the inane chat & adverts.

:lol: 

The tv broadcast starts at 7.00 tonight instead of the usual 7.30 so should start on time.

weather doesn’t look too bad to me, 50% chance of light rain later  and will be dry all day so track should easily be able to take it?

That's the way I see it, no heavy stuff so actually should make for a decent meeting, with regards to the track ie shale, overtaking etc etc, I suppose over the years I have been to probably 50 meetings at Perry Barr, I have rarely seen much overtaking and when I have it's usually been on bends 3/4, overtaking on bends 1/2 is rarer than winning the jackpot on euro millions, Nigel Tolley told me they were going to put more banking on those bends over the winter, now my eyesight aint very good these days but from what I have seen so far there is NO extra banking on bends 1/2 hence still no passing around 1/2, so what we have is very little shale, 50% of the track where little or no overtaking and the remainder is difficult to get any drive so Perry Barr needs gaters to win meetings gate and go tonight and whoever does that will win the meeting.
