nw42 2,048 Posted October 13, 2021 Such a shame there's so much bitterness and sniping building within this thread, no need for it really, on Monday we were treated to what has been described as one of the best meetings in recent years, the scores are finely balanced and fingers crossed we will get more of the same tomorrow evening. Whoever wins will deserve the victory, Peterborough have had some tough luck but so have Belle Vue, that's speedway. As far as I'm aware no team has cheated their way to the final, as unfortunate as the injury to Hans is it occurred after the final had commenced, just like if it had happened tomorrow evening, the final is underway and both teams just have to make do with whatever changes they can make that fall within the existing rules, no special dispensation should be allowed imo. Would say the same whichever team I supported. Obviously the usual trolls chip in with their stupid comments, one even claiming the Belle Vue doctor isn't a proper doctor and that Hans should ride in the 2nd leg, if he was knocked out then he cannot ride, it wouldn't be fair on himself or any other rider taking to the track. Here's hoping we get to see some great racing in front of a bumper crowd, whoever wins will be crowned champions and will deserve the accolade. 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get it no 'dispensation' allowed for teams in sports where The Final means something from a large positive financial point of view, and was going to be watched by millions which brought massive publicity for the teams and sport, or meant one team moving up a division to a higher, more lucrative level... But unfortunately for Speedway it means none of the above... Therefore just follow the rules set down which are used every single week of the season and have a close entertaining 2nd Leg . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 13, 2021 I'm worried about Cook guesting to be honest. Think he may have too much sentiment towards the Belle Vue fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob should be on the phone to Douglas and Pickering imo. How do Belle Vue not deserve anything? If we win it we deserve it, if we don't then we don't.

Shouldn’t reply to this clown but Cook has no sentiment towards Belle Vue, the complete opposite he will be fired up to put one over them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
