Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted October 6, 2021 So we take a 10 point lead. But not taking anything for granted. Its only thr half way stage and as we all know. We are better away than at home so there is a chance of hope for Sheffield. R/R did OK at Sheffield but they were in tough conditions so wont be as affective tomorrow so I'd prefer cook in. But I'm sure they will stick with R/R Weather looks good for tomorrow so all systems go. May the best team qualify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 912 Posted October 6, 2021 Yep we cant take anything for granted, especially as we have struggled to impose ourselves on opponents at home except for a couple of occasions, we certainly seem more convincing away. I would expect Holder to score well, Ellis will certainly be better than he was at Owlerton, if the real Batchelor shows up Sheffield could have a good go at this. Ten points seems a good lead but Sheffield bang in a couple of early heat wins 5-1 and a 4-2 and its game on. Should be a good meeting as im sure Tigers will be giving it a good go, and they turned around ten points at Peterborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 6, 2021 Sheffield bottled it already. Repeat scoreline from a few weeks ago. Kurtz only averages 8/9 points at Home so BV will be able to cover that no problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has I understand it to bottle it you have to be favourite s and throw it away . in my eyes i make Peterborough the favourites they’ve been the best side all season that s why they finished top and should be champions 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,227 Posted October 6, 2021 Glad the Aces have gone with RR... The sport is Mickey Mouse enough as it is without a Semi Final being influenced 'for one night only' by someone from a team that failed to qualify.. You should win or lose as a team... Incredible to believe I know... But bad luck and injuries affect other sports too.... Not just (UK) Speedway... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you can only pick from two teams, it becomes farcical and an extremely limited choice. Whatever the outcome, RR is the right choice for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 6, 2021 Belle Vue fans. You are 10 up after walking the first leg at Sheffield. To lose from here would be unthinkable. Have more faith in your team. You are in the final against Peterborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
