Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted April 27, 2011 Okay - a tad early but am excited that for once a work meeting (in Manchester, in this case of course) coincides with a Speedway meeting I really want to go to! A question though - which Aces/Colts folk may know the answer to... Is the Colts vs. FTs likely to be a stand-alone fixture or part of a double header on the evening..? The BSPA fixtures list is rather ambivalent about it suggesting there MAY be an EL fixture too...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil3065 21 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) I wonder if Cameron Heeps will be here by then You'd certainly hope so. The NL fixture list is of such a small size that, if he were to miss one or two more fixtures.....there wont be very many left for him to actually take part in!

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted April 28, 2011 As far as we know its a standalone! Hope to see you there I wonder if Cameron Heeps will be here by then I'll be there - very much looking forward to it. I trust you will be there too, Philip. After all, if one Fen Tigers fan (me) can make an away match on a Monday night you'd think all the others could too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted May 10, 2011 Nightmare meeting . Garrity aside, all passing was as a result of mistakes. The track was awful and while the weather didn't help, experience suggests that even a perfect day wouldn't have made much difference. There was absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever (the crowd was around 250 at most)and it was (certainly for the first few heats) a one sided massacre. Throw in a couple of dreadful refereeing decisions and short of a bad injury I don't think things could have been worse. The Belle Vue management deserve better for having the courage to enter an NL side but they have to do something about the track and the atmosphere. The only good thing was the chance to see a few of the boys from Mildenhall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
