Gavan 5,049 Posted May 20, 2019 Well we got by just as I predicted it would be tight Nice to see Shovlar actively talking bollox and trolling as he does.....let me know when Poole are near the top of the league Bellego just has to go along with Harris We was a 4 man team tonight and obvious that with Allen we would have won comfortably Bates can’t turn a bike Why was Harris in heat 15? Should have been the unbeaten KP Still we are top of the league .... will take that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was demotivated last season for both his teams, he was lucky he didn’t get the sack from both teams. This year a completely different rider. Applied, professional and fit. It’s there for all to see this season. Promised so much early on and achieved little since. Maybe this year will be his breakthrough year. 1 hour ago, Falcon1983 said: Bellego did ride well in one heat tonight though in all fairness No he didn’t, he was stone last in all 3 heats. great point for the boys with plenty of fight. With Allen in the team it probably wouldn’t have been as close so we got lucky on that one. why Harris was in heat 15 is baffling, the explanation by Hawkins was odd too. King and Heeps or Pieszczek only deserved consideration. still, we will take that point. Onwards and upwards. Another ‘new’ shaped track to feature on TV that hasn’t shown the great racing we would expect. The dirt line was way too deep and also slick inside in the first half which was dreadful. At least it got better in the 2nd half. Edited May 20, 2019 by stevebrum Missing word Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted May 21, 2019 Think it was a big missed opportunity by Wolves in all honesty Steve. We made numerous errors early doors and were missing our key rider. When Wolves kept getting their noses in front I thought that was that. Any away point is good, but I’m sure most Wolves supporters would have seen this one as a missed opportunity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,314 Posted May 21, 2019 Why do people have to be smart arses? Just explain to Falcon that the race where "Bellego" came from the back wasn't him. He was replaced by Heeps, but the commentators didn't notice. I thought it was Bellego at the time, too. They said it was, after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn’t being smart when querying this comment, I was at the meeting not watching on tv so had no idea of the commentary cock up! Sounds about right for Tatum and Pearson tho!!

Say what you like about Middlo but he wouldn't of done that. Allen was a big miss tonight but the plus for Ipswich was KP who rode much better than he did against Poole.

To be fair I was trying to be smart lol I thought it was Bellego until the camera zoomed in and say no.6 with heeps on the back, I did think to myself during the race that Bellego seems determined..... BWitcher you need to get over yourself with my comment about in an ideal world speedway would be £10 and a meeting over in around 60 minutes, I do have other interests in life, If i can travel from work to foxhall, get there for the parade 7.30 and be in my car ready to turn left out of foxhall by 9pm, happy days If my comment about speedway should be 60 minutes has offended you then perhaps you shouldn't be allowed on the internet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted May 21, 2019 Hawkins came across as, well it would be impolite to say it as it appeared to me. Hopefully, he has a better relationship with his riders and an understanding of the sport than he has with the media. At the very least some help with that seems necessary. And sadly this meeting I can only rate as 5/10 and was a poor advert for UK speedway. Even Tatum & Pearson fell far below their usual almost impeccable selves. Not just with the errors but with downright lies replacing their usual spin on how wonderful it all was. They seemed quite disinterested at times, perhaps they were suffering from post G.P. blues? If the Live matches are not going to rise about the Swindon match and this one it certainly wasn't worth Buster "saving" the PL for TV. The sport looked completely moribund and was raced in front of a crowd that looked like less than a 1,000 ( maybe far less ). Cannot see how any casual non-speedway fan who stumbled across the broadcast would consider rushing to their nearest track. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
