It doesn't because it operates on the mantra of "i want whats best for me, so bugger anyone else".

They haven’t, Paul. It’s been said that a lot of the passes at the NSS are “unimpressive” and can be spotted a mile off, but I’ve never seen anyone here say that there are “too many passes at the NSS”. You’re completely making that up.

Ipswich v Belle Vue 14/08
GeneralMelchett replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Whilst this is very true there are enough of us who are subjective and don't just wildly make something up - But what we can do is work with what we know! For example the back straight grandstand holds 1500 the little grandstand holds 250? - the home straight one was full and the back straight one was 2/3 to 3/4 full in my view so even if we said 2/3 full thats 1,000 in there - so that's 1,250 before we've even started on the terraces. I've been to the NSS and the day I went it was very well attended (Aug BH in 20204) the crowd i think was 2000+ easy as the grandstand holds 1800?? and the back straight can accomodate about 1k to 1.5k? the grandstad was again about 3/4 maybe more full so thats about 1350 with 750 or more in the back straight.so thats how i build these figures up, as you say its subjective but i like to think based on reality! What i can say is in 4 visits to Foxahll in 2025 last night was the best attendance by some way! -
I have never considered passes off Bend 2 as actual overtakes - they're part of the opening of the race unwinding. I appreciate that it's subjective. As for crowd figures ... nobody knows them. Again, any estimates are not only guesses, they are also subjective - ask 10 Ipswich fans and they'll have different ideas. What BV fans consider to be a good attendance at the NSS will also vary.

Not a problem - as I say / see it the moment you leave your gating line then it’s no longer FTG one of the best moves last night was when Brennan gated alongside Bewley he managed to just get a fraction ahead and the clamp him to the kerb into 1st / 2nd bend and that allowed King round the outside off bend 2 - to me a comment of ‘FTG’ doesn’t do justice to the move and the fact King blasted round everyone and by the exit of bend 2 was away and gone for the win!! - Today
-
I think that the bloke on the kerb from gate one is moving off the inside due to his momentum from that start position, thus allowing the gate four bloke the opportunity to undertake him, all due to the gates they started on. We will have to disagree on this one but I respect your opinion.

Oh they have, I remember laughing at it, not on this post admittedly but like I said, this argument has dragged on for some time and I’m certainly not trawling through the forum to find it!

You see I disagree here the moment someone comes off their gate line and secure the pass it’s a pass so off gate 4 you cut back at the apex of bend 1-2 and secure a pass that’s no longer FTG!!
