ouch

Belle Vue had their gating gloves on for the victory in the A fixture which is an essential part of speedway away from the NSS. We should be winning this but as we’ve seen on many occasions this season our poor gating has left us following the leader for 4 tedious laps. Jaimon should be on for double figures and this together with our top two should see us home.

Be good to have a Comets v Aces challenge where you keep Tate and take Dan and we draft in two Colts riders to fill our team. Problem is finding a suitable date for all the riders in question.

Very entertaining meeting with passing in thirteen heats and not just The Aces as several heats had passing & repassing. Had the scores been called a bend three lap one as is the case with speedway these days, we would have lost 37-53. Thankfully, for me anyway, the races produced my kind of speedway, not to everyone’s liking I understand but just brilliant in my eyes. Heat 15, Brady out Fricked, Fricke - wonderful. Sadly our injury jinx put paid to the bonus but I still feel we’ll remain above Kings Lynn in the qualifiers.

Not as interesting as you actually answering the question. I didn’t get what you were up to until it was pointed out to me but I’m no feather in your cap when it comes to catching a victim. You’re definitely not the first to hook me and unfortunately won’t be the last. Whatever floats your boat. Bye.

Hate it. Unless they get injured again and don’t complete a foreign fixture.

Yes. As I was with PC, Kenny Carter, Tai, etc etc etc etc……

I did say I’d cover your new topic (championship) once we’d got your initial topic (league) out for the way. I’m unable to go first as I cannot find any proof of Brady doing what you’ve accused him of. You will have this information to hand as nobody would accuse someone of wrongdoing without being able to back it up when asked. I can see now why you anticipated a long discussion when really it could have ended with just one answer to a simple question.

I’ll happily discuss the new topic of Brady’s involvement in championship events once we’ve got the league topic out of the way. I’ve asked a very simple question regarding his league appearances as it was his foreign league clubs that you mentioned in your initial post and it was this that I responded to.

Brady did not miss Belle Vue fixtures whilst completing fixtures in foreign leagues. If you can show me a timeline that proves this to be incorrect then fine I’ll concede, otherwise please stop making this up as fans start believing it. Anticipating radio silence. AGAIN!!😡

I think you’re being a bit harsh when describing the racing lines around the NSS. I’ve lifted the race reports from the last time we met when the lines used were mentioned. One race had simultaneous passing on the outside and inside. Fricke chasing and finally passes Blodorn up the inside bend 2 lap 4. Becker packed up on the run to the first turn. Masters gates, but Bewley is up the inside bend 3 lap 1. Masters repaid the pass bend 2 lap 2, before Bewley is back up the inside bend 1 lap 3, before pulling clear. Howarth up the inside of Zichke bend 2 lap 1 Masters gates, and leads for 3 laps with the Aces hunting him down. Lidsey and Cook go either side of Masters bend 1 lap 4 to turn it into a 5-1. Great ride from the Aces.

Should be a very entertaining meeting again with plenty of passing. Leicester imo are the best gaters in the league though they are closely matched by the top two, necessity is the mother of invention after all. But for the racing last time we would have drawn if calling the race early, not that you can do that at the NSS. Being back to full strength helps as a full Aces side has only been beaten once, without Brady falling that is. As always it’s great to see our Max back and I’m hoping he has a good night along with local lad Kyle who will no doubt be mad for it.

He’s been a true number 1 for years and it’s been great to see him grow from the 4.50 lad we signed back in the day. Irreplaceable to his team, as we found out in 2022, he is a true ace in every way.

I would relish a final or semi final against Ipswich and I think most fans would love it when watching on tv. As bad as we were yesterday we were four up on aggregate after heat 12 and with the prospect of heat 13 & 15 featuring Jason, Emil, Brady & Dan, it doesn’t get much better for UK fans imo. Will the old guard prevail or will the GP big boys pull through? Something for the publicity machine to get behind. Here’s hoping Mr Morris works his magic again when sorting out the semis.

Belle Vue do seem to run their annual final qualification in a particular way. At the start of the season they will win a few away meetings and keep others close to secure the bonus. After the league settles and qualification is all but certain they take their foot off the gas until the play offs themselves. I’ve always found it odd that a rider would try less as this obviously affects their income. Having said that, Zach admitted to testing stuff out against Lynn as the team score allowed him to. If the team ride at opponents destined for the playoffs and the table allowed it, I would absolutely have a play around re set ups. Not saying this is necessarily the case for last night. I do like a strategy, especially one that is so effective year on year.
