4000 was raised for Dan. Brilliant from the fans. We choose to give him money as he's 1 of our own. His like a son to us all. He's worth every penny for the entertainment he's gave us last 3 years. And heat 13. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you. Hope Doyle's ok, was a great match. See u in play offs stars

WELL done Chris Morton ... credit where it is due. Never wavered from his determination to produce a great track worthy of the old Hyde Road.

I would, every time. Whatever the circumstances of their departure from Belle Vue, without their determination, effort, hard work, doggedness and passion the NSS would not exist. Pretty decent legacy, that. You only had to read the pages of this forum to see the scepticism, cynicism and sheer contempt that existed amongst supporters that it would ever be built and I am reliably informed that that went all the way to the top in the BSPA. It says everything that despite his self imposed exile at the anniversary meeting earlier this season the loudest acclaim was reserved for Chris Morton and I don't know a Belle Vue fan that wouldn't have him back.

One idiot told me it would be ( one of the know alls who always tells people which riders Rosco has signed, but does not learn lessons from continually being wrong ) but we have a home meeting next monday in the KOC. Next season is a different question.

Fabulous meeting, just slightly ruined by the anti-climax ending to heat 15. Every meeting I've seen from that track has produced fantastic racing. Heat 13 was an absolute classic. Doyle, Holder and Cook going at it hammer and tongs with Fricke at the back and seemingly a spectator to it all. I'm still not sure how he managed to win that! Well done Belle Vue on reaching the play-offs. It would have been a travesty if thry'd missed out thtough Bewley's injury.

Congratulations to Kings Lynn Stars for finishing top of the SGB Prem. Good luck in the play offs

Happy to say thanks to "trees" and my taxi with "malcolm" i got to lynn last night enjoyed the racing not much passing but fast and close and the burger was quite good value am still tasteing it this morn , so thanks again for sorting me out see all next time when local in the big red bus .

Harris, Nicholls and MPT wont all get a team place at Peterborough as well as the Ulrich factor, perhaps a swap with Ipswich is on the cards , Nicholls for Drew Kemp!!!!!

The track is the same as its always been Steve. Its the bikes that have changed and the consequences are that it's now much harder to ride and that has impacted the quality of racing. The bikes will continue to evolve and those tracks which can carry these bikes essentially safeguard themselves against this evolution. You'd still get quality racing on the NSS if you were riding a 70s jap, for example, like you would at Monmore, but put a modern machine at the green and it is a problem. It's a real 50/50 argument, imo the sport will always keep developing so it's the tracks that need to change. Not the bikes. Wolves was a good track, it's just irrelevant in today's speedway. Imo.

Not just cause Lynn will finish top. But the top team should go to the final. With 2nd and 3rd teams riding over 2 legs to see who gets to the final.No 4th, league to small.

Trolls do what trolls do - ha!

That is great just shows you how well thought of Dan is and that is from all the fans from all over the Country.

That’s a fantastic amount raised for the lad. Hats off to everyone.

I don't remember any Wolves fan getting over excited at their teams league position in April! Trolls - ha!

Hoping for a nice peaceful evening..cos those massif boys do my swede in.

Not at all, when the track is super grippy, all the riders have equal traction, therefore producing them gate and go races... When the track is slicker and riders have to search for the dirt , it makes for more exciting racing.. There are some riders who really relish these grippy tracks. they have the ability to hunt and pounce even in the most tightest of situations, but they are few and far between. The difference between a grippy and slick track can be as much as 3 seconds faster.

WELL put ...Daniel Smith needs to get his facts right.

It doesn't but I'm not sure that is the only issue. Wolves would need to be really slick to get the most of the bikes. Its always been well prepared Monmore, you can certainly vouch for that, and still is. However the bikes don't like it. Its got such tight entrances to the turns, to scrub off all that speed and then run into some dirt is what causes the problem. It kills the back wheel and then they react like a bucking bronco. These bikes need to be turning over all the time, taps always open. Even some smaller tracks have a more natural curvature, like Somerset and Scunny, where you can keep the bike winding and still have some room to correct a reaction or rider mistake. Rye. Arena. Training tracks. That's all they are good for. I hope wolves doesn't go the same way. Apologies for saying Monmore was irrelevant BTW, thats not what I meant.

Poole speedway for me everytime, I wouldn't call matt Ford an idiot, far from it

That’s a tough one, a professional sport, watched by millions, played on a bowling green of a pitch with a crackling atmosphere or amateur night, run by village idiots on a pot holed track in front of God’s waiting room. I’ll leave the forum to decide which is the best option...

Meeting was at Thrum Hall, Halifax. Full article was sent to Speedway Researcher last year.

The good news is Geoff, you are pedalling

King's Lynn have the chance to finish top of the top division tonight. TOP. That would be an incredible achievement for a team predicted to finish near the bottom. Yet the first pages on this thread are people whinging about the fact we have a double header tonight. Cheer up you miserable sods and enjoy what has been an exciting and closely run finale to the regular season. And all the best to Scott Nicholls and Ty Proctor, who I see are both missing tonight through INJ sadly.

Not really as surely Connor Mountain is a shoe-in reserve for the team whether they rider 'Premiership' or 'Championship' in either case ? Would have been surprised if we had announced Hans as the new asset given the uncertainty over the League formats for next year .... Connor would appear to be a good signing though for the Lions ! Cheers

it is a worry, but I'm sure had it been on a friday night the turn out would of been much better, I'm afraid these FNR have not worked, especially at Belle Vue.
