I have my doubts above BV lacking home track advantage. If my research is correct (probably not!) the two play off finals were 2015 and 2016. 2015 was at Kirky Lane which definitely had home track advantage. 2016 was the first year at the NSS and BV topped the league perhaps because of home track advantage? Whatever the reason, I would still say that Peter Adams can outfox Mark Lemon. For now...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stand corrected, we were indeed at the dog track in 2015, then the NSS in 2016, i stand with what I say about the NSS and no home advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every track has some home track advantage although it clearly varies from track to track. Belle Vue is no different. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Looking at that bunch of poor excuses for top tier teams. Sheffield will romp it, only resistance on the other side of the Peninnes. I might have a lower age than the Panthers average age! Edited April 6, 2021 by Col 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big home track advantage at NSS because many riders only see such a place once/twice a year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bike set up,is important, but any decent rider should be able to set their bike up after a few laps round it. That's my opinion and no one will change it. Havin said all that I wouldn't have it any other way, the racing is superb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
