Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted September 29, 2017 Even the Wolves fans next to us said Lindgren caused it. Video of that race wont be uploaded as the BSPA wont want to show the referee cocked up. So did the Swindon fans in 2009, with some justification one might add. However check the history books. We've still not forgotten 1993 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Lindgren out of meeting but he should have been excluded as well! Aces terrible luck continues. First ever withdrawal from an Aces meeting. Here's a suggestion for you, in order to avoid the horror track, why don't you drop down to the championship ? You might find some tracks that you're not banned from.

mikebv 10,261 Posted September 29, 2017 Guess we will see the incident soon enough. But the call has been made and no changing it. Belle Vue fans will have to suck it up. Pure racing incident that could have gone either way.. Sadly someone has to go... Lindgren locked up just slightly and Bjerre simply couldn't avoid him... Maybe the ref was using the fact Lindgren was in front to exclude Bjerre? Probably, if on TV, the several replays would have meant Lindgrens removal from the race.. Definitely not a track to lock up on is the NSS such is the speed and usual close proximity of the rider behind.. Anyhow, done and dusted now, let's hope Lindgren isn't too badly hurt and can continue his GP quest for Silver.. He showed tonight (again) the difference between the GP riders and the rest when they give it the same level of 100% focus that they do on GP nights and when racing in Poland.. That small mistake apart he would have gone through the card again I reckon... THE difference between the sides... The racing to be honest wasn't that great as many races were strung out but the scores' close proximity kept it entertaining.. Dan Bewley, once again showed what a potential gem this country has.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 29, 2017 If Lindgren has any form of concussion he will not be able to ride in either leg of the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERACE 440 Posted September 29, 2017 Absolutely gutted 1 flipin point. Congrats to wolves and good luck to both teams in the final. If belle vue didn't have bad luck we would have no luck at all. Tungate e/f when 2nd changing a 3/3 to a 2/4 and the ref making a terrible descion in heat 13 when itvwas clear lindgren turned left then locked up but that's speedway. Lindgren was taken to hospital so he may not even be fit for the final, even if he rides will he probably won't be 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike, and all the decent Belle Vue fans on the forum (that's everyone except flange), if the decisions haven't gone your way, then bad luck, maybe it will be evened out in the future................. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted September 29, 2017 Avoiding any controversy, how good to have a tie fought out without ruddy TRs 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avoiding any controversy, how good to have a tie fought out without ruddy TRs Interesting that under the TR rule belle vue could have had one, wolves wouldn't have got one.

Fourentee 987 Posted September 29, 2017 Well done to Wolves, and commiserations to the Aces. Over the course of 30 races there will always be "what if" moments, but that is the nature of sport. The Knockout Cup may yet bring some consolation to Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Absolutely gutted tonight that we've missed out on the Grand Final, big respect to both teams who gave it absolutely everything. Congratulations to Wolves & good luck in the Final. Hope Lindgren & Thorssell make speedy recoveries. In the heat of disappointment, perspective needed. From almost having no club at the start of the year, 2017's been some ride as an Aces/Colts fan, loved it - & it ain't over yet!
