It is only a five minute argument (acknowledging Monty Python for the comment)

Worst scenario for Poole would be to get part way through meeting have it called off and not have time to build up a decent lead. (well granted loosing badly would be even worse).

Double post

They were only qualifiers and the four who qualified were known from the start, but we were never going to trouble the other three over two legs, i was surprised some Witches fans were actually worried about last night.

Is that the rider who has increased his GSA by over a point this season? Who scored 7 or more in 13 consecutive matches prior to KL away? Who has the 11th= best away average in the league this year?

Agree with your points but if we pull this back it will more to do with Ipswich having a choke of massive proportions more than write Belle Vue off at your peril.

Hang on, I thought 3 guests & R/R was the definition of seven man teams in British League Speedway

Mark Lemon does seem a strange appointment to be CEO of Belle Vue Speedway, I'm not sure what his qualifications are or business experience is?

I didnt think Ipswich would win but would keep it within 10 at worst, Blodorn and the reserves have been poor all season and with Dan and Brady in heats 13 and 15 we always had a get out of jail card as we saw against Kings Lynn at the NSS who overall were the better side going into heat 15 only two points down. Ipswich didnt ride well last night, Emil was off it King wasnt good, and Thompson didnt do as well as i thought but it was still only a 6 point advantage, for a team who are supposed to have such a large home advantage it wasnt good from our point of view, we were always the weakest of the four in the play offs and we paid the price for not changing things around. Ipswich are just a better all round side as will be underlined on Thursday. Its going to be interesting between Ipswich, Sheffield and Leicester though.

With 3 guests and R/R it was hardly a Birmingham team, so I'm not sure it's really worth bickering about 🤷‍♂️

If the real Kurtz and Bewley turn up on Thursday it could still be close... if they can get 24 between them the other 5 only need 19... which could be done if either Cook or Lidsey can have a night out... And if that happens... All down to Danny King in heat 8 last night... should hang his head in shame... and let's not forget that this is the second time he's done it... Brennan and Doyle certainly showed him up big time in the following heats showing real heart and bottle in what looked on paper like tough ones for Ipswich...

No team changes going into the second leg. Come on Witches strong start Thursday

No names of riders that i can see yet listed. Sadly it’s a big day in Poland with 8 teams riding which will mean a lot of top riders unable to take part.

At one stage it looked as if they could push us and they were unlucky to lose at the NSS being the better side over the whole meeting, 2 points down going into heat 15 our top two got us out of jail, if they did have a bonafide No1 it would have been even more interesting.

Weather forecast has taken a turn according to the met office. Heavy rain from 6pm now when yesterday they said it was at 10pm. Hopefully rain moves a lot slower than predicted and we can get the meeting in.

No don't blame British speedway this is all on Mike Lemon. The other teams haven't put up prices just BV. I'm glad the crowd was small trying to rip off the fans

Dates and timings announced for the Final NON TV Sunday 14th September 1st leg Pila v Gdansk start time 4pm UK time Sunday 21st September 2nd leg Gdansk v Pila start time 2pm UK time

Kept hold of norick, lidsey & tate way too long this season. Mulford does whats expected and chips in. Lidsey imo has never looked comfortable in the uk. No idea why lemo keeps signing him. Looks quick when out of the gate at nss but no desire to mix it like brady,cook,bewley. Away form is woeful at best. Norick hasnt improved over the seasons we've had him & tate needed a season to get his confedence back

Zach was terrific, Lidsey very up and down, he may have had bike issues, Mulford, Blodorn and Zische just are not that good, Bewley was incredible, Kurtz was good but Doyle was amazing, what a rider at his age, Emil and Danny King were poor, Ipswich reserves were very good.

Much better result for the Witches than feared after last Thursday's non-performance. Lemon's obsession with Zischke is fascinating - always seeming to favour him over Mulford, even though the young Brit is just as likely to produce at least one good ride per meeting (and has a higher average).

more or less what i expected, lost our chance to get a bigger lead in the 1st 7 heats, Doyle is a proper team man and can do what is needed when the chips are down., cook better than i thought and lidsey worse, Mulford and zichskie, as expected, cant fault bewley or Kurtz for their effort, and blodorn the less said the better. its not gonna happen at Ipswich. hopefully 2 better meetings in other semi.

Not live no but seen videos, he is very good and getting better.
