Aces High 70 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Can't see a match thread anywhere for this. The weather is forecast to be glorious for this for a change! Shame Wolves will be without Lindgren this time around but the teams look fairly well matched in their 1-5 so should be a close meeting. Reserves should swing it our way.

WestGorton1884 621 Posted May 4, 2018 Should be a great meeting this . Thorsell ,Schlein,Howarth and Masters all fly around the NSS Aces reserves and choice of guest could be deciding factors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've had some decent rides but far from consistent, although consistency is tough there. Howarth I wouldn't class as flying round there in the slightest, one of his poorest away tracks I think. That said, he is much improved. I'd be shocked and pleasantly surprised if Wolves got within 12. Edited May 4, 2018 by BWitcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much agree with all that, Kyle seems to be struggling with an injury at the moment, he withdrew from Sheffields meeting this week after pulling up during his third ride. Hoping we keep it close enough to give us a decent chance in the second leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestGorton1884 621 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Ok , sorry Ive personally seen Thorsell , Schlein , and Masters 'fly' round BV, but maybe not so much Kyle ..... Although he does seem to go well there ? it'll be a close meeting IMO, Edited May 4, 2018 by WestGorton1884 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted May 4, 2018 The problem will be if the weather is too nice, will be keeping the track dust free , as it is a 12.00 noon meeting. Belle Vue have had early leads in the last couple of home meetings, and have failed to capitalise on them, with both being very close finishes at the end, and this could easily be another of those close finishes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted May 4, 2018 Not wishing to appear pedantic, but referring to the thread title, isn't this a KO Cup fixture ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted May 4, 2018 According to the BSPA Web-site it is a KO Cup match 1st leg I assume. The official BV Web-sites calendar does not show type of meeting, Am I correct in assuming the 2nd leg is at Wolves on the 18th of June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With regard to the tie, I am not hopeful, we really don't go well at Belle Vue. Out at the first hurdle I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces High 70 Posted May 4, 2018 My bad, thanks for spotting. Title now amended Also think that this will be closer than the monmore leg unless we are significantly better than previous visits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno 1,790 Posted May 4, 2018 Not sure with me Steve ,I started going to Monmore in 99 and after 10 years I nearly went to the dark side especially after Billy joined . In 2009 I went home and away and after a narrow defeat at Swindon I was really annoyed and realised I was almost a Wolves fan. I decided in 2010 I was going to convert but then out of the blue we came back and I was back to Wolves being the enemy. However let's be honest were never coming back in the true sense so Wolves mean more to me than any other team except the heathens of course. Strange but true 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are still weakened by the absence of Worrall and restricted for guests because of the fixtures on Monday and the mysterious return to rolling averages means that we lose the significant advantage of Bewley riding at reserve. Subject to whoever we get as a guest I still think we can win the home leg but it's not going to be easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
