Call me wolfie 677 Posted September 7, 2017 I'm happy to back up my opinions with facts but you describe my opinions as guff. You don't appear to know the facts surrounding the Belle Vue fiasco so I helped a bit without describing your opinion as guff or claiming you hate all things Aces. I'm not that bothered but I think responding to an alternative opinion with childish insults isn't helpful. I watched the Leicester meeting and you are right but the point is that they have recognised that there is an issue and they have tried to put it right. By all accounts, and the tv meeting does support it, the racing has improved this season. I call your opinions guff because that's exactly what they are. 7 withdrawals for injuries due to the horror track, really!!! I can only find 4 official withdrawals due to injuries. #1 Kyle Howarth v Poole caught Hans Andersen's back wheel coming out of turn 4, could have happened at any track #2 James Shames in the same meeting, has an incident with Greaves in his first race and is excluded, completes his second ride and gets a point, then withdraws with a hand injury, leaving the much stronger Starke to take his remaining ride #3 and #4 Josh Auty and Tom Perry, typical first corner bunching leading to Riss making contact with Auty who then loses control and makes contact with Greaves and Perry, all of them ending up in the air fence And that's it as far as official withdrawals for injury goes, 4 not 7!!! I assume two of the others you are referring to are Greaves in the last meeting who withdrew as his bike was trashed, and not injury, and the Lindgren incident which you keep banging on about, posting video links from YouTube at every opportunity. Hardly a bad crash as he stayed on his bike. Although you say the poor chap was just taking the same line he always takes, in reality he was unsettled by Morris coming up up the inside, put his leg down to steady himself and twisted his knee. Very unfortunate but hardly how you describe it. He didn't withdraw from the meeting as he had completed his programmed rides. In total that's 6, what was the 7th or did you just think of the 1st number to come in your head. If I think your one man crusade against Monmore is guff then I'm not afraid to say it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted September 7, 2017 Why are you making up what I said to justify your limited capacity to accept another opinion to your own? What am I making up exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Not again? Find the post where you think I said '7 withdrawals for injuries due to the horror track', read it carefully and then you will realise why you 'can only find 4 official withdrawals due to injuries.' Once you've read it and understood it you will probably be able to find more than seven examples. You'll be able to point out I was wrong if it makes you feel better. So I forgot the last bit about "or missed subsequent meetings" that doesnt make me a liar does it. Nor does it change the fact that they weren't really caused by the track does it Edited September 7, 2017 by Call me wolfie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 586 Posted September 7, 2017 Did anyone else pick up on the post match interview (on BT Sport) between Kelvin Tatum and Pete Adams? Kelvin asked Pete a very reasonable question regarding choice of first leg venue for the play off semi final which prompted an unnecessary confrontational response from Pete. Kelvin covered himself with his response to Pete's accusation that he had not done his homework but was clearly miffed (and rightly so) at the juvenile response to his simple question. Pete Adams did not do the sport any favours in front of the TV cameras. Having a face resembling that of a camel (anyone else spotted that?) is no reason to have the hump! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it was mentioned earlier in the thread. Mr Adams was the one who hadn't done his homework as Wolves didn't have the choice last year against Poole as they came 3rd, Poole 2nd. Tatum was quite correct that when given the choice, Wolves have chosen to have the 1st leg at home. I got the impression Adams wanted the first leg at home but had been over ruled by the riders, hence the way he responded. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have a lot of respect for Peter Adams with all he has achieved with Wolves but he didn't seem to fully think his answer through and maybe some don't like Tatum but he isn't stupid and he certainly won that battle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted September 8, 2017 It must be a Wolves thing. Make a perfectly reasonable remark then get an in your face argumentative response. To make it worse the response is factually incorrect. I wonder if Kelvin will put Adams on ignore? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
