Anyway wasn't so good at Belle Vue on Wednesday and only has a 5 point average in the Championship so he can't be riding very fast for Redcar. In my eyes he is doing a very good job for the Aces and Redcar would not suit him anyway not like a Scunny Sheffield or the terrific National stadium.

Had 3 lasts at the NSS the other night, it seems he is ok when he gates but doesn't do much passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be a remarkable performance if we win and I obviously hope we do. If we don't ,I think it will be a King's Lynn, Somerset final and that King's Lynn will win it. That would be brilliant for their fans who have waited so long. I certainly wouldn't begrudge BV being champions, been very unlucky/unfortunate in the playoffs over the years. I just started going to speedway when BV last won it, I was 11! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is doing a more than decent job for us and can and does pass riders. He passed Covatti on Wednesday and made passes in a couple of races against both Wolves and a Leicester. Obviously, it depends on the opposition and any rider with his sort of average is going to be inconsistent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,342 Posted September 7, 2018 Of the current teams Vue have won 12 top titles, Poole 9, Wolves 5, Swindon 4, so would like to see Lynn or Zummerzet win for the first time. Lynn finished top so most deserving of the trophy. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course Somerset haven't been in the top flight for long so maybe Kings Lynn are the most deserving especially as I seem to remember they have finished first before in the league season but missed out in the play offs.

I think maybe I am remembering when Eastbourne pipped them in the last meeting of the season for the title whenever that was.
