This is part of the problem at Perry Barr, the racing lines vary from meeting to meeting, which means the home riders have to find the right set up from meeting to meeting, but it is primarily a gaters track if you don't gate at PB your in trouble from the off. Nigel Tolley said they were going to improve the banking on bends 1 & 2 during the last close season but it doesn't appear to have been done, even if they were to make Perry Barr some sort of trick track that would be better than what they have now which currently helps away riders just as much as the home riders, and for sure it does not encourage much passing..

We were 10 up after 11, I don't think we got away with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have lost if Birmingham could prepare a track to suit their own riders, plus Lindgren not starting too well and Sam messing up the tactics also didnt help .

Has he ever moved up into the main body of the team either with Wolves or Brum? Never been out the reserve berth in the top flight. Is dismal this season and should be scoring 4-6 points against fellow weaker RS every match. Milford is probably the weakest RS in the top flight. 6 hours ago, iainb said: He buggered off 7 years ago when the money dried up! He would have stayed if Wolves wanted him tho. They choose to use Thorssell instead. Not many current top line riders have done more than 10 straight seasons in the UK which makes him one of the most loyal. Golden boy Emil had a few matches early on in his career and is now in only his 2nd full UK season. They have ALL started coming back because of the money I assume. It’s not like any of them will ride for peanuts. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listened to it! Unbelievable! What the actual flip are the management doing at Brum in between races? There's almost as many managers as riders and not one of them could think of informing the riders of the score situation!

You would think that the competitors involved might already know the score too.. Those interviews with the riders are always great when they get asked "Do you think you can still win this?" And the oft used answer is "I don't know, what's the score?" I bet they know the score in Poland.. And their own score too, including bonus points...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam should have told him but he probably did not think of it, makes so many tactical mistakes it's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the manager should of said, but it's poor on any rider when picked to ride in heat 15, to not to ask the score and what do we need boss.

Both to blame imo, surely when a rider goes out he'll ask what the score is, BUT he shouldn't have to, the team manager should be making doubly sure the riders know what's needed, especially when it's a last heat decider, just when I thought Ermolenko couldn't get any worse lol!

As has been said.. The majority of riders are focused on their own races and points money.. Getting battered as a team, but scoring a double figure personally is a "good night"...

The days of testimonials for doing ten years st one club are long, long gone.. "Do I go well there? How much will they pay me? Is the priority criteria I would suggest from many when deciding where to ride.. Averages moving up and down year in year out just means moves for riders to go from one club to another... And tonight in the UK, weekend in Poland, Tuesday in Sweden, and Wednesday in Denmark must dilute the riders "riding for the badge" outlook.. And, as we know when getting interviewed during a meeting, not many know the score, which suggests that they don't feel that "bond" to any great degree... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
