Lenny Lion Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Although I did not attend last night I am told it was a disgrace with dust from the opening race & barely able to watch the limited racing by the end of the meeting the dust got that bad BUT I think Birmingham can only blame themselves for the last heat loss last night . I am told they allowed the Leicester track curator to do all the track grading during the interval after heat 11, Is it purely coincidence that a Leicester rider won 3 of the last 4 races after the interval 🤔🤔 Absolute foolish from Birmingham. If I was a Brummies fan I would be asking serious questions of my promotion for allowing this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that is absolute tosh... yes there was dust, but it was not anywhere near bad enough that you couldn't see the racing. As you stated, you weren't there 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth they let tracks get like that is beyond me and Brum are not the only culprits. Something else I noticed, from memory only Wiktor Lampart, Richard Lawson and maybe Drew Kemp came around for applause during the meeting, prior to Lions snatching victory in the final race.

One advantage for Freddie would be he won't have to race at Perry Barr and if Ipswich did have him to guest I am sure he will fly around Belle Vue or Sheffield.

He scored 7 from 5 rides including two duck eggs around the NSS a couple of weeks back. He looked far quicker there in the Speedway of Nations though so you have to ask the question, how much is he putting in to the league meetings for Birmingham? He now has an actual average of 7 and a half, pretty poor for a rider of his quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed the Witches have an excellent top two but I think many would have also expected Freddie to be up around the 9 point mark which would bring him very close JD. At the moment Freddie is averaging nearer to 8 but that might move up a bit in Birmingham’s remaining four matches, two of which are against the Witches! As you say he would be very welcome at Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 The plan was as of a couple of weeks ago, that Lindgren would be guesting for Doyle for both Cup final legs and all play off meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he guested riding with Emil, he will put the effort in although Bewley and Kurtz are quite good at their home track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
