Looks like KK has thrown in the towel then as the man from Newborough (assume that he did move there?) looms large in his mirrors! How ya doing KK BRUMMIES 43 BELLE VUE 47BIRMINGHAM were out-gunned by Belle Vue’s star duo of Chris Harris and Rory Schlein as the Aces snatched an away win in the closing stages at Perry Barr. Harris and Schlein both scored maximums so the match-clinching 5-1 from the pair in the final race did not come as a massive surprise – but the Brummies were left to rue not closing proceedings out earlier. With the visiting duo in such good form, Birmingham were reduced to four race wins on the night, but each of those came as part of 5-1 race advantages, which enabled them to go 30-24 up after Heat 9. Ulrich Ostergaard and Claus Vissing were particularly impressive for the Brummies, but the Aces’ fightback began in Heat 11 when reserve Ricky Kling re-passed Kevin Wolbert for third place to reduce the gap to four points. The next two races were shared with Charlie Gjedde taking an important win over Ben Barker in Heat 12, but the real turning point came in Heat 14. Schlein always looked a likely winner but the Australian not only rode his own race but also pegged the run of Brummies skipper Daniel King to allow Kling around the outside to join him for a shock 5-1 to level the scores. With the Brummies struggling for top-end strength on the night, Harris and Schlein got to the front in Heat 15 despite a strong early challenge from Barker, and Birmingham were condemned to their first home Elite League defeat since the end of March. BIRMINGHAM 43: Claus Vissing 9+1, Ben Barker 9, Ulrich Ostergaard 8+2, Krzysztof Kasprzak 6+1, Daniel Nermark 5+1, Daniel King 4+2, Kevin Wolbert 2+1. BELLE VUE 47: Chris Harris 15, Rory Schlein 13+2, Charlie Gjedde 7+1, Ricky Kling 7, Patrick Hougaard 4, Craig Cook 1, Dawid Stachyra r/r. brummieweb

Heat 15 - Harris Schlein Barker Ostergaard 60.5 1-5 43-47 Sounds like a Marx Brothers film after reading the BSF. Water bowser n/a for a time resulting in a dry and slick track. The skippers best equipment allegedly in transit? KK having another mare although he's reportedly not available next week as Poland calls. The question is whether he'll grace Perry Barr again

BRUMMIES 48 WOLVERHAMPTON 47BIRMINGHAM held on for a narrow victory over local rivals Wolves in a terrific Elite League encounter in front of a good-sized crowd at Perry Barr. Just as on Monday at Monmore Green, the two sides proved to be well-matched despite being vastly different in terms of configuration, and the Brummies had no answer to an outstanding Freddie Lindgren who scored a deserved 18-point maximum for the visitors. But the home side certainly deserved their victory, even though their twelve-point lead after Heat 10 was whittled back to one in the end, which meant they had to be content with two Elite League points from the meeting with Wolves taking one. Claus Vissing was voted Brummies’ Rider of the Night, the Dane recovering well from a crash in Heat 2 which cost his side a 5-1 as he held the advantage comfortably with James Wright. But Vissing picked himself up to play his part in 5-1s in each of his next three outings as the Brummies picked up a welcome number of heat wins despite the brilliance of Lindgren. Race of the night was Heat 10 with guest Edward Kennett battling on the outside of Tai Woffinden only to switch for the inside on the last bend and snatch the win – and as he did so, Ulrich Ostergaard also passed Ludvig Lindgren for third place. At that stage, the Brummies looked good for all three points, but an 8-1 in Heat 11 with Freddie Lindgren scoring double-points brought the visitors right back in touch, and they added two more maximum advantages in Heats 13 and 15 from the Lindgren/Peter Karlsson combination. That meant Birmingham’s 5-1 from Vissing and Ben Barker in Heat 12 was crucial to the overall outcome, and when skipper Daniel King – who had earlier ridden superbly to beat the double-points Karlsson in Heat 9 – shared the points with Vissing in the penultimate race, the home side had done enough to win on the night. brummieweb
FAST Freddie Lindgren scored a blistering full maximum as Wolverhampton staged a late fightback to grab a point from a tense derby clash at Perry Barr. Parrys International Wolves came from twelve points down to reduce the deficit to one on the night, enough to add to their Elite League total and gain some revenge for Birmingham pulling off a similar result at Monmore Green on Monday. Lindgren was immense, equalling the fastest time of the season at the venue in Heat 1 and coming from the back in breathtaking style to pass Ben Barker in Heat 5. However, two 5-1s to the more solid-scoring home side in Heats 4 and 8 put them ten points up and left Wolves using the tactical ride facility – and when Peter Karlsson went for double, he was thwarted by home skipper Daniel King. Lindgren’s tactical ride, though, produced the ideal result in Heat 11 as his six-point haul was backed up by Ty Proctor’s second place for a big 8-1, which sparked a frantic trading of maximum advantages between the sides as the Brummies tried to hold on to what they had. Karlsson re-passed home guest Edward Kennett to partner Lindgren to a 5-1 in Heat 13, but they needed an advantage from the last race to threaten victory on the night – and it could have happened as with Tai Woffinden out-front, Ricky Wells got alongside King in the battle for third only to suffer mechanical failure. That virtually ensured victory for the Brummies, and Wolves required a shared heat at worst in Heat 15 to take a point – and in the event, they took another 5-1 from the Lindgren/Karlsson combination with Lindgren again displaying spectacular speed as he worked his way to the front. wolvesweb

Agreed, lets see what Friday brings - probably rain. 2. Disagree. The racing format or competing riders has no influence on new fans attending. New fans are unaware of what a good format or bad format is the same as they don't know if Pedersen is good or bad, to them it's just a name. New fans don't come because we don't know how to entice them, we don't promote and because it is a pretty expensive night out. We need to be in peoples faces in and around the city imo. 3. We only have one or two real sponsors, mostly they are enthusiasts/fans such as the winter maintenance team etc. Check the programme out.

Looked on there forum they've had a team of people going around the city in the day talking to people, companies, shopping centre handing tickets out and also going to places like pubs where people are spending disposable inclome. The proof will be in the result, I suggest a lot of people will be watching with interest there crowd tomorrow. It looks well thought out to me most likely by the bloke who lives a stones throw from our track. IMO that is promoting and tosses into a cocked hat our miserable efforts in garden centres.

"And we will ensure all other Elite League promoters get a copy of our survey so they can also see what supporters want." ET Monday 10 November 2008 (2nd survey), then we nearly folded in 2009

BRUMMIES 57 WOLVERHAMPTON 36BIRMINGHAM racked up their biggest win of the season with a convincing display against local rivals Wolves for three much-needed Premier League points at Perry Barr. Brummies were by far the more solid side with everyone from top to bottom scoring well, whereas injury-hit Wolves were largely a two-man outfit and the match was already beyond them by the time their top duo started winning races. The home side made a dream start to the meeting with no fewer than four 5-1s in the first five races, during which time the first Wolves tactical ride went wrong as Tai Woffinden trailed home third behind Daniel Nermark and Ben Barker in Heat 5. Barker had earlier got the better of Woffinden with a blistering passing move in Heat 3, and with the score at 24-6 it was only ever going to be damage limitation for the visitors. Guest Davey Watt won three races on the trot, including one for double points, and Woffinden took the last two heats of the night, but the Brummies always had control and their only real setback of the meeting came when Claus Vissing fell in Heat 8 as he was attempting to pass Ty Proctor and Thomas Jorgensen. That, though, was Vissing’s only defeat of the night and one of only two last places recorded by the home side, for whom Krzysztof Kasprzak led the way in a welcome return to form at Perry Barr – with the spectacular Barker named rider of the night after several battles with Woffinden. BIRMINGHAM 57: Krzysztof Kasprzak 12+1, Ben Barker 11+1, Daniel Nermark 8+1, Claus Vissing 8+1, Ales Dryml 6+3, Ulrich Ostergaard 6+2, Daniel King 6+1. WOLVERHAMPTON 36: Davey Watt 14, Tai Woffinden 12, Ty Proctor 4, Thomas Jorgensen 3+1, Tyson Burmeister 2, Ricky Wells 1, Fredrik Lindgren r/r. brummieweb

Owner Tony Mole puts Birmingham Brummies up for saleTONY Mole is ready to listen to offers for Birmingham after five years in charge of the club. The Kidderminster-based businessman brought speedway back to the Second City after an absence of more than 20-years back in 2007. Now Mole, who is in his 70s, is looking to take a step back from full-time involvement in the sport and is happy to hand the club over for the right price. But he’s also keen to reassure Perry Barr fans that one of the terms of any sale is that they stay in the Elite League for a second successive season. Said Mole: “I want the Birmingham fans to be reassured that our intention is that Birmingham stay in the Elite League next season.” Mole’s co-promoter and team manager Graham Drury insists that Birmingham have enjoyed their Elite League experience and he already has some ideas on what his 2012 team will be, whoever is the owner of the club. He said: “I believe Birmingham have been good for the Elite League and a club like ours in a major city and with the facilities we have deserves to be at the top level. “It’s nice for the fans to know that Tony insists the club stay in the Elite League for 2012 and we can start looking at potential targets for the team.” www.sundaymercury Sept 4

BRUMMIES 46 COVENTRY 44
BIRMINGHAM rounded off their home season with a narrow victory over local rivals Coventry in the first leg of the Midland Cup.
It was a night of top-class action which underlined all that has been good about the Brummies’ move into the Elite League this season – and there were never more than two points between the sides.
Both took turns to lead, with Daniel Nermark winning his opening two rides for Birmingham whilst Chris Harris, guesting for his former club Coventry, was in spectacular form after a first-ride engine failure.
There was controversy too, with Bees reserve Nick Morris twice disqualified after clashing with Claus Vissing, whilst Ulrich Ostergaard was clearly unhappy to be thrown out of Heat 6 after a fierce battle with Josh Auty.
Brummies trailed by two points with two heats to go, but James Wright came up with a fast start in Heat 14 and was shepherded home by Ben Barker to turn the meeting back in the home side’s favour.
Harris overhauled Barker to win a thrilling Heat 15, but with Nermark holding onto third place ahead of Auty it meant the Brummies had done enough to win on the night.
BIRMINGHAM 46: Daniel Nermark 10+2, Tai Woffinden 10, Ben Barker 9+1, Daniel King 6+1, Claus Vissing 5, James Wright 4+1, Ulrich Ostergaard 2+1.
COVENTRY 44: Chris Harris 14, Josh Auty 8+2, Olly Allen 7, Cameron Woodward 7, Ryan Fisher 5+2, Nick Morris 3, Emil Sayfutdinov R/R.

and following on from the Bratters news: Speedway: Tony Mole agrees deal to sell Birmingham by Nigel Pearson, Birmingham Mail Oct 26 2011 TONY Mole has agreed a deal to sell Birmingham and full details will be revealed next week. The Kidderminster businessman, who revived the sport in the city in 2007, wants to have a less active role within speedway and put the Brummies up for sale in September. Now a deal has been struck with a mystery consortium to take the club forward into the 2012 and the new owners will be introduced to the media at Perry Barr next Monday. And team manager Graham Drury has revealed how there has been genuine interest from three different parties to take on the club. “It’s a measure of what an attractive sport we still have when, despite difficult economic times, three different parties have shown a genuine interest in becoming the new owners of Birmingham Speedway,’’ said Drury. “One is a current promoter, another is a former promoter and another party is completely new to the sport, which is a positive too. If this sport can still attract new people and new investment then we have to be doing something right. “We will reveal the details at a press conference next Monday and at this stage I am hopeful my wife Denise and I will remain in position at the club under the new owners. “Birmingham Speedway has been a big part of our life since we came here for the relaunch in 2007. “Denise and I have met some great people during our time here and we both sincerely hope we have the opportunity to take the club forward under new owners.” It seems likely the Drurys will remain in charge of the day-to-day running of the club as Mole put it down as one of the conditions of sale that the duo, if possible, should be retained to see the smooth transition from one owner to the next. Graham Drury has been a promoter at a number of clubs down the years and has a strong reputation within the sport for getting the job done so his input with new owners could be vital.
