Booyaa 4 Posted September 22, 2021 http://www.wolverhampton-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3408 Announcement from Wolves. All very odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted September 22, 2021 I feel this has been decided above the promoters. Logistics from the TV cameras and teams only being able to ride on certain days 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted September 22, 2021 Also if we come the top, surely we have the right to choose if we want the first meeting at home..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted September 22, 2021 On no planet would Wolves pick Peterborough that's for sure. Something very iffy going on imo. Belle Vue 40 - 50 WOLVES Belle Vue 41 - 49 WOLVES WOLVES 48 - 42 Belle Vue WOLVES 49 - 41 Belle Vue But they're trying to convince people that Wolves wanted to face Peterborough. WOLVES 47 - 43 Peterborough WOLVES 42 - 48 Peterborough Peterborough 51 - 39 WOLVES Peterborough 49 - 41 WOLVES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well it was nice while it lasted. Belle Vue to win the title now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted September 22, 2021 Only British Speedway can struggle to get a 6 team league finished in the required team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted September 22, 2021 All to do with logistics, Belle Vue Sheffield, closer for fans to travel = larger crowds. Same with Wolves and P/Bora. Very unfair on Wolves or P/Bora, depending on who of the 2 finish top, as the choice has been taken away from them. Still think Wolves have enough in reserve to beat P/Bora over the 2 legs, then finish the campaign as champs by beating the winner of the other semi. Hope I am wrong as on paper Belle Vue look the strongest through my rose tintered glasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty 1,257 Posted September 22, 2021 I presume it's a big thank you to Eurosport for ensuring the fans know 48 hours earlier than expected as to when the meetings will actually take place ? As a Wolves fan I'm off to arrange a further delivery of clay to Alwalton! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair CVS has stated he wanted the first leg first and Peterborough have said they wanted the second leg so that’s pretty clear cut to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately Harris, Andersen and Nicholls are track specialists. On the other hand we are generally awful at Alwalton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves were never picking Peterborough though! Can't believe they'd even try to convince anyone that was the case...! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does seem strange why pick the one team that has shown to be the most difficult to beat at Monmore ,surely you would prefer to face that team in the final at least Much the same as Peterborough with Belle Vue Edited September 22, 2021 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
