KIRKYLANE 537 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Of all the matches I have seen this year , the Belle Vue v Swindon , 1st leg play off , stood out among all the other meetings. It had everything ... good racing , plenty of passing , incidents , controversial decisions . a large crowd , tenseness and close scoring. Indeed , I do not think I have heard the Belle Vue crowd so vociferous in a long time . One of my mates said " I have never seen a meeting like it !!!! " What was your personal favourite and why ?

ballinger 32 Posted October 6, 2015 Rye House Raiders vs Coventry Storm in May. The only meeting I've watched this year as a spectator. (I've filmed over 100 others). It was great to have a night off ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Johnson 285 Posted October 6, 2015 1...scunthorpe v peterbro for me... just epic, scunny 8pts down by heat 12 then BOOOM.... 5-1, 5-1, 5-1....rob had done a rallying call to everyone, fans and riders to help save the club and this had the wow factor, even rob throwing himself to the ground,it seemed everything had fallen into place, a fairly bigger crowd than usual, a great team effort and correct result, couldnt of asked for any thing better......if he still has a doubt about running next year id suggest thinking back on this meeting. 2.... scunthorpe v plymouth, last meeting (ever)???.... everyone thought or wanted plymouth to win so they could reach the playoffs, by heat 5 we were 8-16 down and the rumour mill started....then BOOOOM again....6 5-1s in a row 38-22 then a 1-8 from plymouth to keep their hopes alive 3.... scunthorpe v ippo for all the wrong reasons 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best of the year anywhere for me, though, was Scunny v Ipswich. Setting aside the Tungate incident, the racing that night was simply fantastic, we had the extraordinary sight of a track sit in and a bit of fisticuffs to boot. It was just top drawer stuff Top ten: Scunthorpe v Ipswich, Scunthorpe v Plymouth, Scunthorpe v Peterborough, Somerset v Ipswich, Redcar v Plymouth, Buxton v Birmingham, Workington v Peterborough, Plymouth v Rye House, Rye House v Eastbourne, Poole v Belle Vue.

van wolfswinkel 635 Posted October 10, 2015 Swindon-Coventry..one of the best matches I've seen for years at The Abbey. Top-of-the-table Bees were 2 points ahead most of the match, then a Swindon 5-1 from nowhere swung the meeting late on, as they clung on to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,649 Posted October 10, 2015 Wolves beating Poole 47-46 - a totally unexpected comeback Peterboro 46 Plymouth 44 in the KO Cup with some cracking racing and Birmingham 46 Eastbourne 43 - the result in doubt throughout the match would be my top three. Other noteworthy matches I've seen this year include: Swindon v Cov SKY match - great racing, close match and a good atmosphere Cov v Poole - play-off Semi first leg ending in a draw Somerset : PL Pairs - always a good occasion Somerset v Edinburgh - Cup Final every point fought for Somerset v Glasgow - play-off Semi again every point mattered.

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted October 11, 2015 Glasgow v Edinburgh 2nd leg league cup final. Maybe not great racing but lifting one of the major trophies at your nearest rivals is a great feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummie Kev 519 Posted October 14, 2015 Birmingham vs Eastbourne in September, we won which more or less confirmed us as National League champions. Entertaining meeting, great battle between Adam Ellis and Bradley Wilson Dean. Kent vs Brummies, spent alot of money getting down there and a fantastic performance. Nice to watch speedway in a top class stadium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
