Stars vs Aces - 11th April 2024
Garry1603 replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think the Aces might struggle a bit here. They will need Blodorn, Cook and Lidsey to really turn up if they are to have a chance. 50-40 -
Oxford vs Sheffield - Thursday 21st March
Garry1603 replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A close one for sure, but I think that the Sheffield heat leaders will prove too strong in heats 13 & 15. -
Witches v Aces Thursday March 21st
Garry1603 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I agree with most of the posters that Ipswich will be too strong on Thursday. 10-14 point margin. Belle Vue will be very strong at home based on their collective performances in the Peter Craven Memorial Trophy, but they'll need Lidsey, Cook or Blodorn to develop into a genuine third heat leader if they are to win many away matches. -
Peter Craven Memorial Trophy - Monday 18th March.
Garry1603 replied to tocha's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Very enjoyable meeting with some good racing and lots to talk about on the way home. What more could you ask for at this stage of the season? Seeing Kurtz and Bewley battle it out in the final with Fricke just behind is what speedway should be all about. The track staff should be congratulated on an excellent track for the time of year. Thought Celine did very well to be honest and she improved every race. -
I'm sure rider replacement will be at Belle Vue as well.

Hans Andersen retires
Garry1603 replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I concur with other posters. Hans was a great servant to British speedway and was always good with the fans and media. Sad to see him struggle last season. I'm also glad that he's retired on his own terms without any long term injuries. Thanks Hans, hope to see you around the tracks. -
I think that the signing of Celine is undoubtably a marketing ploy to attract the media attention - and fans as well. If it attracts a few more young girls to watch the sport, and maybe even give it a try in the future, then Workington are to be applauded for their vision. I don't think that anyone expects her to be desperately competitive, but that's not the real reason she has been given an opportunity. Good luck to her and the promotion for having the balls to do this (I know what I did there!)

I think that it's a team that will improve as the season goes on, and will just about make the playoffs, but they are a level below Sheffield and Ipswich at the start of the season. As always, injuries will make the difference as the season progresses

Is there any news on Charles Wright's recovery? If he intends to come back, will the Aces give him a chance?

Wolves last meeting at Monmore 23rd October
Garry1603 replied to Spidvej's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A sad, sad loss to the sport. Every track has it's good and bad meetings and I saw plenty of good racing as a visiting Aces fan in the past. So sorry for the loyal fans who deserve great credit for supporting their team through thick and thin. Hope that one day we will welcome the Wolves back to the sport. -
Ipswich Witches vs Belle Vue Aces (new playoff semi 1st leg) 21/09/23
Garry1603 replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
No point pointing the finger at BV riders. They've had a great season in the whole, but all seven had a poor meeting last night and will be disappointed with their scores. Track conditions didn't help obviously, and Bewley doesn't seem to like the Foxhall stack, but it's not an excuse the better and more committed team won easily on the night -
Such sad news. By all accounts a top guy as well as a top rider. One of speedway's 'royalty'. RIP Gordon

None of us know what's going through his mind at the moment, so let's just let him sort himself out and decide his future over the winter. Riders like Shawn Moran and numerous others knew when the time was right to quit, if Cookie's reached that point then good luck to him and thanks for the memories.

Oh for a John Berry type 'supremo' who could bash a few heads together for the common good. I think it needs someone to take control with the clubs falling in line with him / her. Who it could be I've no idea sadly.

Belle Vue v Ipswich Monday 17th July Live on Eurosport
Garry1603 replied to racers and royals's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I was amazed when Abi went to interview Charles Wright straight after his nonsensical exclusion - I expected a lot of bleeping being necessary! Fair play to Charles, he kept his cool admirably.
