Absolutely shocking that a speedway promoter should be allowed to cover some of the losses made during the regular season with a PROFITABLE meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralMelchett 535 Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, RobHowe said: He looked a class above on Monday - I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t get 15. I fully expect him him to score 12-15 or so of course an EF or crash could ruin it but i've seen him ride there admittedly it was 2015 or 16 but he wont be scared to have a good go! Tigers need a couple of early heat advantages then its game on, Zagar wasnt all that when i saw him at Owlerton earlier this year and Brennan struggled as well, the key man is Kurtz if he shows up and scores well the Aces might well nick it!

Neila 1,181 Posted October 12, 2022 Noticed on Monday nite, belle Vue rider's seemed to struggle out of the gate, no problems passing on the belle Vue circuit, but think it will be a lot harder at Sheffield to pass,if they miss the gate, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The forum posting rules say only the Monmore Green track can be criticised, and no other. Keep to the rules and everything will be fine. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilTheAce 498 Posted October 13, 2022 Whatever happens tonight. May the best team win. And no weather will play a part in either meeting. So maybe October play offs do work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruckerroo 793 Posted October 13, 2022 Zagar the key to the meeting, excellent and combative when on it, infuriatingly cba when hes not, not the best gater either . 11 or so from him and the aces sneak to 40, 5 or 6 and they dont Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted October 13, 2022 It will be interesting to see how many Robert Lambert gets tonight. Undoubtedly the best rider on view, but his gating hasn't been great, and Sheffield doesn't have as many overtaking lines as Belle Vue offers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
