KIRKYLANE 537 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) With both sides missing a rider for the same reason wouldn't it be common sense to allow R/R instead of a Championship reserve? Sadly The BSPA are sticking their fingers up at SEC and cheating the public by enforcing a max 4 pt Championship rider in the body of the team. Since it is one rider on each side then it balances out the effect but that does not make it right..... Wake up BSPA and start promoting the Sport for a change Edited April 30, 2017 by KIRKYLANE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cheese 2,022 Posted April 30, 2017 Would give Belle Vue an advantage that. I'd say that Worrall, Sedgemen, and 2 from Bewley/Smith against Grajczonek, Starke, Wright and Allen is pretty equal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted April 30, 2017 I think much depends on Tungate. On current form he won't trouble us but if he can find his form of last year it will be closer. Either way I don't see Somerset picking up any league points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEPHEN 333 58 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Why midday start? I've got to Stockport to watch Sale Sharks on a Friday in an hour leaving Wolverhampton City centre at about 18:15 a fair few years ago. The conversion of the M6 to SmartMotorways made my journeys to the NSS last year almost 3 hours, which is ridiculous. Local Somerset fans will have at least an hours drive up the M5 before joining the M6 in middle Black Country. I hope the leave early. I could have been tempted to visit for a 14:00 start time but hey ho.Yep, really feel for the Somerset fans travelling north for that start time, would not like it if me and other Belle Vue fans had to travel to Somerset for a twelve noon start to a meeting there, only can put it down to the fact that there are meetings elsewhere with Rye, Leicester, Wolves and Kings Lynn also racing at earlier times as well, may have something to do also with the Swedish season also starting this week, and riders having to get to Sweden for that. Belle Vue to win, possible by 16pts. Why could they not have held the Belle Vue Colts meeting with Mildenhall, held on Friday, following this fixture instead of opening the stadium twice in three days, surely the fixture planners for the National League could have built this fixture in when they knew the original dates for the Premiership.

If I was a Somerset fan I'd love this start time! As a BV fan that goes to most away meetings, I'd love to set off early on a Bank Holiday and be home for about 6pm rather then 2am with work the next day! Reason for the early start time is it is stock cars next door starting at 3.30, council won't allow both to run at same time, would be chaos parking etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knowle 51 Posted April 30, 2017 Somerset intended to run a coach but lack of interest. Not suprised 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted April 30, 2017 I think i'll give this one a miss . Yet again great promotional skills from the sports governing body 12 of the 14 expected riders will be there and we know from the Peter Craven meeting and the match against Leicester that a field with not as many top riders as we might hope for can still produce good racing at the NSS. I shall certainly be there. I am sure it will be a good meeting and after the worries of last winter we need to be supporting the club to ensure, as best we can, that our new owners can see it is going to be commercially viable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
