Bagpuss 10,784 Posted September 26, 2018 If a team has access to their track to practice then good luck to them, don’t see the issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely nothing but some Aces fans got their knickers in a twist about the Stars potentially changing track conditions at home for a more home advantage. The Aces changed their track conditions and a bit of practice too so a little bit of hypocrisy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Potman 20 Posted September 26, 2018 Great night at NSS on Monday, did not start off too well, but second half was brilliant. Super performance from all the team, tactics spot on from the manager.Makes up for the disappointing 2017 season where a couple let us down. Looking forward to Monday at the AFA. Let's get behind the Stars, they deserve it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, and I agree from the neutral point of view. So how come the Stars rider's struggled early on in the meeting saying the track was way slicker than normal. Aces fans saying Monday was one of the worst meeting of the season. Coincidentally the track was different on a Play-Off night hey. It was total nonsense that the track was a little greasy because of cold conditions, the track was altered for home advantage which almost paid off. So, if King's Lynn produce an ultra grippy surface to try and win the meeting by heat 9 it's swings and roundabouts. In the Play-Offs, doesn't matter which club, which track, which rider's, the end goal is winning. Doesn't matter how bad the racing is to promoters because finals bring punters in regardless. What I'm not saying though is I agree with that but at the same time I understand why promoters 9/10 times choose that route of theory. All about the winning not the racing at this stage in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, that is a bit far fetched even for a kl fan, but a scum fan did accuse someone of making a sick remark about woofinden's dad at one meeting, some (usually scum) fans really will scrape the bottom of the cesspit to try and score a point. Anyway, off you pop back under your stone again. You are one horrendous troll 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were just naive to to have a big practice a few hours before meeting meaning track prep wasn't it's usual self. We got lucky early on. That's all. That's why we built up a lead.

The track looked greasy early on like it was over watered and because of the practice the home team had prior knowledge it was different than normal so maybe got lucky early and unlucky later on with Worrall's breakdown, well I say unlucky depending what was at fault , Lambert's first race failure was not unlucky though but he and NKI sorted it out later, they are a terrific pairing when on form. The whole team fought hard and proved they were the better team, Belle Vue would have done better with Cook riding apart from his first ride Bellego was a poor guest.

If Cook had rode and had to pull out after one ride due to his injury you would be hanging him out to dry, can't win with folk like you who think they have all the answers. The reasons for the track issues were given on Monday evening, the temperature dropped considerably bringing moisture to the surface, I was out to work shortly after the meeting finished and, being outdoors, I needed gloves for the first time since April, haven't needed them the rest of the week though, Monday night was a cold one.
