Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted September 20, 2015 Will the #prayforMatej wrist bands be available at Blunsdon tomorrow? No just the PO final next Monday at kirky lane 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted September 20, 2015 No just the PO final next Monday at kirky lane Shame. A missed opportunity to raise funds for the lad. Still, I'm sure AJ will be round with his bucket in the play off final. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted September 20, 2015 What a shame and a loss for the Aces that Matej didn't come through his try out meeting today with a clean bill of health. Knowing his commitment to the Aces it must have been a difficult and disappointing decision for him to have to make but as he has said all along it would be wrong for him to ride in such an important meeting for the club if he is unable to give less than 100%. We know that AJ weakens us but know he will give his all and he is the best of those available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lionheart 86 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) As an Aces fan and a speedway fan I think this saga STINKS Edited September 20, 2015 by lionheart 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chalkie 263 Posted September 20, 2015 So Matej rides in the SGP last week and pulls out of the first leg of the play-offs for which Rosco got a lot of stick for suggesting he wasn't really injured. He then rides in the golden helmet meeting and as I understand it made the rostrum and then he isn't well enough to ride again in the playoffs. Something very fishy in allowing AJ to ride both times. I can't say it's cheating as I don't have all the facts but something really stinks! As it happens Zagar made the final and retired last! Also Batch was runner up in that final to.............Jurica Pavlic!Elsewhere, Zengi scored 11 from 5 for Leszno in the Polish play-off Final first leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMills 1,728 Posted September 20, 2015 It beggars belief, only last week I read zagar comment on rosco......utter p*** take and 2 fingers to british speedway, and people wonder why sport here is in the state its in...if belle vue management had respect for that famous ace on their race jacket, they should make sure zagar never ever wears that again!!.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted September 21, 2015 Why would aces management be annoyed? A fully fit aj is better than a 70% fit zagar. As an aces fan agree this stinks though. Riding in GPS I have no issue with. Riding a couple of heats in the golden helmet and then withdrawing fine also. But to ride the whole meeting and final and then be unfit!?! Hard to blame either aces or zagar, and realise would be hard to put in place water tight rules, but this does really make a mockery of things. That said Swindon can hardly take the moral high ground after the batch average lowering farce. Though again, hard to argue that wasn't the right thing for them to do.

stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 21, 2015 Did they ..what did they get fined ...were any points deducted etc ? If getting Batchelor to drop his average is ok to fit Ward in then so is AJ guesting for Zagar. Both are wrong or are both right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted September 21, 2015 If getting Batchelor to drop his average is ok to fit Ward in then so is AJ guesting for Zagar. Both are wrong or are both right? So presumably both will get the same amount of reaction from you then, Steve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kester 3,028 Posted September 21, 2015 Did they ..what did they get fined ...were any points deducted etc ? This line of defence - known as the Poole Fan's No.1 choice - doesn't really count though. As you well know, if Batch was deliberately dropping points nothing could ever be proved. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) It's not like Belle Vue are bringing in a stronger rider. Both are about the same. Zagar had been in great form before his injury. Swindon are at full strength so should win at home. Edited September 21, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 21, 2015 Is I said in a previous thread if Zagar does well in the Golden Helmet he should really ride at Swindon on Monday. Both the Zagar and North situation really gets people down about the sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted September 21, 2015 Zagar didn't complete his last two rides yesterday. I hope he has not made matters worse trying things out. The doctors seem to think he has. Gutted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
