The decision to exclude Kyle was typical of that woman, however he was maybe lucky in heat two as I thought his back wheel touched or was very close to the white line coming off turn four.

I mentioned Kowolik the other day and unless the rules change on assessed average's then it's a no go. Don't know if he's any good but Wroclaw do have another Polish reserve in Mikolajczyk although I'm not sure on what his assessed average would be.

I am reading Simmo's book and he talks about when he took over Lynn and after the early season promise the Lynn team started falling apart (sounds familiar) and he then goes on to lambast how crowds got down to roughly 2k per meeting. Its a long while ago but I was going regularly in 88 & 89 when he mentions the 2k poor crowds and personally I don't remember them being that high other than the first 1-4 meetings when on paper it looked like we would steam role everyone and the place was absolutely packed. Anyway if Simmo was right a 2k crowd today would be classed as bumper.

Maybe the higher ups will allow riders like Jason Edwards to get fixed up in the NDL on an assessed average just to make sure that they've got another pay packet on top of the Championship in order to keep them afloat?

i couldn't be arsed if belle vue win this season or next, the sport in this country has trashed its self, and its not going to get better any time soon. its still going down hill.

Unlike previous seasons, This year there is a reason as to why Clubs haven't splashed the cash to improve their teams throughout the season in an attempt to make a challenge for the title. Promotions have basically said to Belle Vue.....You can have it, If you want it because we're not going to put a further strain on our bank accounts that could jeopardise the future of the Club moving forwards after the loss of a TV deal as well as the League format being too repetitive to a point where the majority of fans have become straight up bored of the product this year.

Lions have been very poor away from home recently and it’s difficult to see things being any different this time around.

😴🥱🥱🥱

I’m not following…

A battling performance by the Bears in particular Charles Wright (who was brilliant) Jake Allan, Jody Scott and Jake Mulford, unfortunately as per the case all season , the team was not strong enough to get over the line. Looking ahead to next Season , I would look to keep Wright and Scott and look to add Klindt or King and then see what points are left to build the rest of the team. On a final note Will Cairns on all the occasions I've seen him seems to take great credit winding up other riders, he needs to be careful as one day he may get his comeuppance on the track or back in the pits.

He basically stopped on the bend, should have been thrown out and I saw in both legs what a dirty rider he is.

Yes, we were lucky that Etheridge stepped up last week, as Holder was poor by his usual standards.

Or maybe he was alluding to the fact that those 2 teams were in the same qualifying group ? Fact is, it wasn't a one horse race back then as Sheffield still had their full 1-7 available, and that was why you failed to make the final. The loss of Holder is what has killed the season. I know somebody will comment about Kurtz being ill for the Owlerton leg, but the fact that you were smashed that day shows what happens when your number 1 rider is unavailable. Now try riding 2/3rds of the season like that !!

Ladbrokes have Lambert as favourite to win on Saturday at 5/2. bartoz 3/1 Brady 5/1

You can rely on me- have phoned Poland. Spoke to the press officer Roza and the yellow zone will be open for qualifying - entrance by programme which i think is cash 30zl. Gates open at 1.30pm local time i think.Hopefully what i have been told is correct.

It's delusional for anyone to think that it's lazy of the Bates family for example to not get themselves in even bigger financial trouble by signing a World Class replacement for Jack Holder just to mount a title challenge on BSN.

No such rule

No Chris Harris? I thought he rode in every meeting.

I said that on the Ipswich v Belle Vue thread. Not good enough for Aces fans though.

The one decision the ref did get wrong was not excluding Newman in heat 12. He pulled a locker which forced his back wheel into hitting Jody Scott, not a case of first bend bunching.

In your opinion. Personally I class myself as an Ipswich fan these days considering I've decided to continue attending the same local track to watch live Speedway for a few years now. Naturally I want to see that Club (Ipswich) win every time no matter who the opposition is as it's the Club/Team that I pay money to support and watch on a regular basis. Much like Ex-Swindon fans who attend Oxford meetings and support them on a regular basis.

One of the major stumbling blocks to rider development has been the amount of experienced Double Uppers/Downers who have filled two places and not one... Particularly taking up so many places which should have been set aside for development in the 2nd tier...

If the idea of one UK U21 rider and one international U21 at reserve is true that does change the Wroclaw rider situation. Marcel Kowolik and Jody Scott could be the 2 possibilities. I feel Rushen and Cairns are already locked in at Belle Vue and King's Lynn. Mikkel Andersen will probably ride in Denmark.

They've tinkered around the edges for years with rising stars and whatever they were called beforehand, grading reserves in the championship etc. which led to Boxall and Armstrong at reserve for what was meant to be all season on 7 point averages. Set a points limit and let teams build to it but by all means encourage younger british riders being signed first and foremost, if a team doesnt want a british rider they shouldnt be forced too but with the knowledge they will be signing a rider with a higher average.

No. Its a one horse race remember
