Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted January 29, 2018 Now not sure on this Belle Vue team. Could be top 2 but just as easily be bottom 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,686 Posted January 29, 2018 While the league is very even after Poole I don't see Belle Vie finishing outside the top four but for some horrendous injury issues. Similarly unless those injury issues struck somebody else then any CL team added to the PL as they line up now would finish a comfortable 9th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted January 29, 2018 Don't rate this BV team. Drodz will struggle. Etheridge needed a season in the 2nd tier to get use to the away tracks. Could be the same regarding the top tier. Will lose the scoring power of Bewley at reserve very quickly when he moves up into the 1-5. Top end isn't exactly that strong either when you look at other teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shifty 5 Posted January 29, 2018 To be honest ... I would have preferred to have Smith ( off 2 ) and use the difference for either Lasse Bjerre or Hougaard instead of Drozdz. Que sera and hopefully Damian & Jye will do a great job and also up their averages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,061 Posted January 29, 2018 So only 1 and a bit seasons after Etheridge was described as one of the worst second tier riders ever, he manages to get a top flight spot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted January 29, 2018 It was John Campbell who supposedly said that though (wasn't it one of Edinburgh's worst ever signings?) so perhaps a pinch of salt required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edinburgh were out of order to say that. It' only give him an extra boost to prove them wrong. And he diddnt half do that. Jye won't be the best reserve by no means but he will hopefully do a job. He will only have 3 rides anyway as bewley will take the rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a full season but he will do well at home. It' a team built to win at home. Something we haven't had for 2 years so should hopefully make it a little easier to get into play offs. We'e not at pooles standard but then who is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
