TMW 533 Posted August 15, 2011 I'm affraid I cant offer a 'Bells and Whistles' build up for this one but someone else may. I thought I would start a thread anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted August 15, 2011 Yes this is literally in football terms a 6 pointer, for me these two teams are fighting for the last play off spot, should belle vue win, then The Heathens chances of the play offs will be very difficult, as we have 4 home matches coming up, and amongst them are Stoke, so this is one of four MUST win meetings for the Heathens, good luck to all the guys,and hopefully we will get the result we need.

21st century heathen 220 Posted August 16, 2011 HEATHENS V BELLE VUE - TUESDAY PREVIEW MONDAY AUGUST 15, 2011DUDLEY Heathens are preparing for their biggest meeting of the season against Belle Vue at Monmore Green on Tuesday (7.30). The former Cradley club suffered two heavy defeats on the road at the weekend and have put themselves under pressure to make the play-offs. And they will hand a debut to Jamie Courtney, who was signed at the weekend as cover for the injured Adam Roynon. Heathens boss Will Pottinger said: "It was a bad weekend but we have to put it behind us, there's nothing we can do about it now. "We are desperate to put it right and we have to win this meeting against a very good Belle Vue team. It's a big meeting for both teams and we need our supporters to get right behind us. "I'm sure Jamie will get a good welcome and so will Danny Stoneman at reserve after we brought him back to the club last week." HEATHENS: Jon Armstrong, Darryl Ritchings, Tom Perry, Ashley Morris, Jamie Courtney, Richard Franklin, Danny Stoneman. Tough night ahead. I would take any kind of win and a night of exciting racing. Oh and a crap night for Garrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,263 Posted August 16, 2011 Yep Colts could do with a point from this one. Problem is Colts haven't ridden for weeks so may be bit rusty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rapidroscoe 25 Posted August 16, 2011 Thought there would be a lot more interest in this thread, however think this is bv's chance to go and get a big 4 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyK39 5 Posted August 16, 2011 Impossible to predict the Heathens at the moment, but welcome to the new boy, welcome back to the new/old boy and good luck to everyone else. Let's hope it's a great meeting. Exciting but safe racing,and one or two Heathens to make a good start occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrystalCastles 292 Posted August 16, 2011 Could be a cracker Belle Vue have got some cracking young talent backed up by two experienced campaigners who have both been prolific at NL level. If the Heathens can match the Belle Vue top order, I think they can pull through to get a win, but can see Belle Vue picking up a point.
