Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 21, 2018 Looking forward to this. BV need at least a 12 point lead. Every chance they could get it if they ride to their potential and would set up the second leg for a thriller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is another meeting where it may be close in both legs with riders from both sides riding both tracks well. As a pair i think the top two riders from each team are well matched but Robert Lambert is almost unbeatable at Kings Lynn so that's to their advantage and lower down the order Kings Lynn will show their strength in depth.

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted September 22, 2018 Pre advance ticket sales are way below standard. In one way in quite happy at that because I hate the glory hunters that come out the woodwork for play offs and act like they been all year. But the club need a big crowd so where are you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he is still injured that evens the teams up, if TP is not fit to ride then it's advantage to Belle Vue. Such a massive shame we can't see 2 full strength teams battling it out, but as they say. That's speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the track is anything like it's been recently we will need our gating boots on to build up a useful lead to take the Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's speedway. NKI has ridden since, i believe his withdrawal was precautionary. Proctor rode last night so should be a full KL team although TP is coming back from injury like Worrall. Worrall is still struggling for fitness in my opinion as he seems to start meetings well then fades later on. I take your point about full teams and Bewley is a big miss along with Worrall not being fully fit, it could depend on the guest BV get for Riss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,778 Posted September 22, 2018 I’d also argue that if Proctor doesn’t make it then we can cover for him pretty well with all bar Lambert able to take a R/R ride, assuming of course we don’t lose another rider on the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not bad considering the Aces get around I would suggest 1200 - 1400 on average.. And considering its live on TV too... And on a Monday... Crowds were around 1800 on average in the first year riding on a Friday and Saturday so getting that many three years later given the generic ongoing decline of the sport won't be too bad I reckon.. Bank Holidays at the old place used to get circa 2500, and at best at the NSS this year they were around 2000, so all in all a similar amount on Monday would be a reasonable return..

So probably not 100%. I ain't heard anything on how he is. The Comets are riding again tonight, so will see if Ty's involved. My worry is TJ for the trip to the NSS. He is up and down and don't seem to go well at BV.. In his last 2 meetings there his scores are.... EF, 0, 1 =1 and 1, 2, 0, 0 = 3 His last meeting was at home in the cup semi on the 17th and he scored 2, 0, 1, 0, 1 +4. He's a worry for me.

Bradford Ace 183 Posted September 22, 2018 Suspected broken wrist so looks like his season is done. Presume we’ll get Batch in - loves the NSS and hates Kings Lynn!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted September 22, 2018 Possible broken wrist for cook. Should make it easy for Lynn now. He was flying lately. Irreplaceable. We can get batch who will do anything to beat Lynn though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
