  1. Past hour
  2. Fair call.... However, in Div 2 one of their semi finals has been arranged knowing three guests will be needed for one of the sides... Don't help themselves do they?
  3. will they keep the same price for the final?
  4. Wasn't at Foxhall last night - did they keep their usual prices?
  5. Also begs the question, if everyone knew this would happen, why was this the first set of play off's to be staged with two riders going for podium places in the GP 2 days later, with a poor forecast. Decision was announced 3 days after the last GP round so it wasn't a surprise that 2 of the Belle Vue team would be up for some serious silver wear 2 days later
  6. Today
  7. I hate that we are going into one of the major meetings in our season with 3 guests, one is necessary because of an injury to Max Perry but to have two of our riders missing because of international duty is crazy. I want to see my 7 riders no offence to the guests but you never know what you are going to get. If we lose a meeting and it is our 7 riders then we all accept that but 4 riders and three guests is too much of a gamble.
  8. I know he is Jonny, one Ipswich fan sitting near me was having a moan which he seems to do at every meeting when it happened and I told him to shut up at least Adam is trying!
  9. So in this weeks Speedway Star we have whinging riders wanting a 2 league structure, obviously personal interest in 2 pay days per week and more. Promoters spouting the proverbial drivel, even loosely admitting that the Premiership CEO cannot do his job. For everyone to move forward, forget about the past and re invent the future for next year now.
  10. Nothing, it was a generalisation about the team. Leicester have been much more enjoyable to watch and listen to.
  11. Weather is fine dry and breezy, might get one or two small light showers this afternoon but won’t cause any bother. Rain dance not working today. 😀
  12. After 26 years of failure, Kurtz has been instrumental in winning the Aces TWO titles and played a huge part in getting them to play offs year on year... He obviously can be bothered then you could summise...
  13. There is no way in the world it should have been called off … no riders or the referee even looked at the track …. To many riders these days can’t stand a bit of a tricky track because of the weather mainly Aussies to be fair Doyle , King , Brennan , Ellis and Thompson all overtook riders last night …. Even Edwards from the graveyard gate 4 rode around the outside on the first 2 bends to join Doyle ….. some riders wanted it and some didn’t Lidsey away from the vast open spaces of his home track is a gating tart and was never likely to pass or attempt to pass anyone I would have suggested if there wasn’t a GP next weekend then Bewley would have had a proper go at getting past Dan T but he was content to sit third Kurtz is Belle Vue captain ….. King said afterwards the pressure to perform as captain is high and Brady didn’t bother … shutting off all the time and even when he had the coveted inside gate he didn’t bother …. If your captain can’t be interested what message does that send to the rest of the team ? Let’s say Kurtz signs again for the aces … would any young rider look up to him knowing that when it comes to the crunch he can’t be bothered
  14. How's the weather in the east? In the west It's been chucking down all night and showery again this morning. Is our rain dance working?
  15. He put more effort into that race than most of the aces team, won't criticize him for that
  16. They'll all be there next week... And at the start of next season... The sport now has die hards immune to the operating model, and immune to any "Barry White" served up on poorly prepared tracks.. Augmented by a few hundred at every track that attend play offs or BH's... If I was a rider last night, my thoughts would be about getting away in one piece, particularly if I had major meetings coming up in Poland and Denmark.. Not sure I would be worried about the views of someone who felt they had the right to expect me to take what I maybe felt were undue risks on a poor surface, given its my career that could be impacted by any crash.. It would be interesting to hear from Sheffield fans who attended the called off meeting the other week, when some Ipswich riders as well as some Sheffield riders wouldn't ride, as to how much worse their track was compared to last nights... Lads earning £500k (plus, and then some) in Poland need to sometimes ensure they look after No1.. Bottom line is, provide a race track that gives four lads in every race confidence they can use all the circuit, and ride closely together, and this thread wouldn't be discussing whether riders tried or not... And a decent race track is the MINIMUM you should expect as a fan, as everything else comes from that...
  17. Hopefully Bewley and the rest will compete and not just sit back and let BK and BS get on with it. Bewley currently 14/1 for the win, seems generous to me, maybe the bookies thinking along the same lines as me, i.e. he'll be keeping out of the way?
  18. I suspect most of the people who would not worry about the current cost of speedway entry prices have no idea it exists, because British Speedway makes very little attempt to attract them.
  19. Yes i dont get, its like Brady has ridden for the Aces for 5 years, been a great captain and delivered on many occasions🤔. Now if he'd done all that id forgive him for 1 meeting in horrendous conditions right before the biggest meeting of his life. If only hey.🤔
