Belle Vue vs Kings Lynn Playoff Semi 1st Leg 24/09/18

Recommended Posts

Here you go, seeing as BV stuff keeps creeping on the Poole threads, thought we could discuss them winning the league on this one!

I thought this was going to be about our meeting on Monday but always like to stay on topic so here goes.

1993. A great year for the Aces winning the league in the last race of the last meeting of the season and made all the more enjoyable because it was away at Wolves. Bobby Ott, brilliant performance.

Ha, bit too literal. I meant discuss BV winning the title this year. Might happen as BV don't do it in the playoffs when they are favourites, maybe they will do it when they are underdogs!

fancied our chances with dan but without dan going to be very difficult but the play/offs are what they are all teams start level look at poole last night their experience in the play/offs showed whereas somerset lack of it showed  hoping that will be the same on monday Aces have been in last 4 play/offs so plenty of experience and heartache lol whereas kings lynn lacking like somerset  it only takes a slice of luck to go your way and you are in plenty to race for over both legs our lads ride lynn well cook/fricke/worrall so you never know ? if it's a gaters track like last night then it could well be our night ? this tie is far from a gimmie like lynn are thinking !! all in all it will be a great semi-final may the best team win !!

Don’t think there are to many kl fans that think this is a gimme, I think it’s going to go right down to the wire

Have we ever been favourites?

The final vs Coventry can't remember what year that was, maybe 2005? Surely there was another season more recently than that where you finished 1st/2nd and had a good chance.

2005 we weren't favourites. We finished top but Bjerre was injured after the deadline for new signings and we couldn't replace him. That's why Dan's injury seemed like deja vu.

Nobody at Lynn thinks it’s a gimme, and it’s silly to think that just because we picked Belle Vue.

Would expect us to keep this close but it depends on the fitness of our three heatleaders who could all go into this meeting carrying injuries.

Great ride from Newman remember it well. Also by way of compensation i believe he gave you guys a set of goggles when you came to Poole, generous to a fault :)

Totally agree,nobody at all are thinking this is a gimme.It just so happens that this tie is best suited for Lynn.I expect this semi to be close on aggregate over the 2 legs.And a possible nail biter right to the end of the 2nd leg.

Just takes Lambert to perform like he did in Sweden last night and BV can win this, against the odds.

Being realistic we are obviously weaker without Dan and the underdogs. If we are going to win all four of our remaining top five need to do well in both legs, we can't afford any weak links and at least one of our reserves also has to put in a good performance. That's difficult but possible and I'm sure that all of the team will be determined to do it.

I was pleased to see that, despite fears expressed by some Poole fans, Somerset produced a track that made for an enjoyable meeting so let's hope that both tracks for these meetings are also prepared to produce some excellent racing.
