Especially given its basically averaging around twenty quid to get in for an adult and not too many kids make up the numbers... Maybe if Matej Zagar comes over they may need a couple of hundred more if he is on his "old deal".... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted March 29, 2022 From a Sheffield point of view I thought it was a decent meeting. Hard to tell how good we are when there’s 2 riders missing. It’s ok been favourites on paper but totally different on track. Holder and Ellis did what was expected while Worrall was a decent guest. The other 3 struggled to make too much impression. Disappointed with Kyles showing he didn’t seem as aggressive as usual and poor from the gate. Hopefully he will turn it round asap. Good to start with an away win but the bottom 3 will need to up their game if we are to win anything and on our next visit I would expect Belle Vue to be a lot stronger. My message to our riders would be don’t believe all the hype get on track and prove it Good luck to the Tigers for the rest of the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be disappointed if they don’t occasionally score a few more than last night. Nielsen was averaging more than that last season before injury and didn’t mountain score about 14 on a visit to Belle Vue ? I don’t expect them to get heat leader scores every meeting but in certain meetings you need your reserve to get a big score to win the meeting. Jordan Palin did it on occasions last season for Peterborough didn’t he ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,859 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) If Aces can get Zagar they will be a handy side Blodorn looked steady and stylish and should improve over time and was out practicing after the meeting. Edited March 29, 2022 by topaz325 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted March 29, 2022 8 hours ago, Rob B said: Nothing could be predicted from sick note Cook, he is very inconsistent, last time round NSS for Ipswich in 2021 he scored 5. Musielak wouldn't have scored more then 7, has never done in his previous visits and was lot worst last week. Ignoring heat 14 5-1 then Why stupid, Wright was top scorer and was very fast in heat 14, you have already stated above that Fricke was poor. Gate 1 was one of the worst gates, only 1 win all meeting, gate 3 was the better gate. With regards to Musielak - on his last visit for Swindon in 2019, he scored 9+2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
