ouch 1,191 Posted August 24, 2016 Does it matter? I've done some calculations and think we can still qualify for the play offs. That's still the aim isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted August 24, 2016 Assuming we have a full side i really fancies Swindon's chances of a second victory at the NSS now if Belle Vue can manage to get the meeting on eventually Pardon? That annoying typeface is back again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted August 24, 2016 Was great to see Rory Schlein in action again in Manchester after his dreadful run of injury. Might have only scored 3, but involved in some great tussles - Nicholls & the Worralls would vouch for that tonight. Respect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it Matters as you will likely ride Wolves in the semi rather than Lakeside ..meaning you have less chance of making the final and the massive pay out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, still a good position to be in, no need to panic (yet!)😉 Freddie's performance tonight has given KL an outside chance of the play offs which may ironically impact his own teams' qualification... Only in Speedway eh?😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted August 24, 2016 Really? There was only about 1000 more at Citeh.... Oh hang on... Official attendance at the Emptihad just announced as 123,000 Dirty Red by any chance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted August 24, 2016 Course it matters, pretty sure the Belle Vue management wouldn't fancy Wolverhampton in the Play-Offs with their latest team change Think that's fair comment, Lindgren has been quality at the NSS this season. Woffinden loved it too, not to mention Masters,Thorssell & PK have all won races there. Would be hell of a battle over 2 legs between 2 sides who race each other's tracks well. Goes without saying the Aces would prefer it in the Final, motivation enough (if needed) to do a job on Poole next week. Of course it Matters as you will likely ride Wolves in the semi rather than Lakeside ..meaning you have less chance of making the final and the massive pay out ? Not sure why you've quoted that. Was commenting about Schlein tonight, as a speedway fan. As for Aces, of course finishing top is better, goes without saying doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted August 24, 2016 Yes we don't want to meet Wolves, we'd be better off against Swindon or Kings Lynn. 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevueace 913 Posted August 24, 2016 Apart from Joe Jacobs that was a well below par abject performance. Kings Lynn were never really in any danger tonight, they rode well and deserved their win easily the best team. Actually i think we look a more solid unit away from home, in a lot of the meetings weve won at home we havent really looked a dominant force, as Leicester proved a few weeks back any team can come to Manchester and have a good chance of getting a result. Theres no doubt we will see far better racing than we have for many a season but the price for that will be opponents that love riding the track pushing us to the limit. Ive thought all season that come play off time we will struggle against other sides top end as we have a mis firing number one who you wouldnt back against the likes of Woffinden, Lindgren, Jonsson, or Holder. These type of results can have one of two effects, it galvanises the team to kick on and become stronger in the following matches or it bursts the bubble and a team can tail off. Only time will tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
