Col 854 Posted June 30, 2023 Just got home. The M6 was absolutely appalling. #viaCoalvilleNextTime I thought it would be decided between the two Premiership Northern Clubs ... and it was.but in the semi. Not sure Musielak was ever really comfortable with the track though. Fair play to Richie Worrall he was the best rider on track tonight (with Klindt a close 2nd) but Panthers never had a hope in the final. Cook was always coming last against Aces & Tigers pairings. Jorgensen was awful.. never looked like scoring. Riss & Masters were not much better. Steve Worrall rode well & was involved in probably the best two races being overhaled by his brother & Holder. Fair play to Kemp did well for an RS bet Leicester wish they'd chosen Harris or Lawson rather than Sedgeman now. He was poor. Racing wasn't as good as Aces visit a few weeks ago and neither were the two Lions riders. Dude on microphone said it was slicker than normal. It suited Kurtz better (eventually) once Bewley allowed him the outside gate. Fricke wasn't as spectacularly awesome as Belle Vue's humbling either . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M6 without any shadow of doubt is the worst Motorway in the country, but I am sure there are a few contenders for the title of worst Motorway maybe we could have a worst pairs ie M6 & M25 anyone ?.

4BM 116 Posted June 30, 2023 Congratulations to Belle Vue. Whilst the Leicester track continues to be a slick borefest it should not have a major event there going forward, it really needs some sort of remedial work on there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Panthers did very well, it’s clearly Worrall’s favourite track and Cook generally backed him up, but it’s almost always gate and go with very little overtaking.

The Worrall's had a good scrap in 17 and then there was Fricke vs Sheffield in 21... other than that it was pretty turgid stuff 23 heats and you scrape together 3 good races Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJA 40 Posted June 30, 2023 A long drawn out meeting. Cannot believe how smooth the track is in comparison to last year, lots of hard work gone into that. Leicester fans saying it was the worse meeting of the year, the Brlle Vue fan I spoke to said it was her third visit this season and was much better earlier in the season. Overheard a conversation with a frustrated official who said the slow running & long track grades were caused by BSN insisting on interviewing the riders & it taking 20 mins to fit new tyres before the semi. This needs to be thought about going forward. Having said that I enjoyed the night & will be back at Leicester this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely have any problems on the M6 from Cannock to Altrincham (A556 junction) getting to or from Belle Vue. The M6 through Walsall & Birmingham is just awful, permanently, even on a Sunday when we often go to Coventry Blaze it can be awful. The biggest problem getting home from Belle Vue on a night is if the meeting ends 21:45 or later because the M56 is often shut at 22:00 and A roads to Altrincham are not fun. 49 minutes ago, SJA said: A long drawn out meeting.

There was an awful lot of tractoring, before the semi I think the entire stadium erupted when the tractor finally left the track. Track was certainly not as good as when the Aces visited a few weeks ago. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible wasn't it, just when things should be building up to a big exciting climax... bring the tractors out to kill it all dead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We at BSN work around the club and their own grading schedules. We don’t and never have dictated anything in regards to the running of a meeting - we are simply there to document it. We interview to fill time because there is a track grade or interval, not the opposite. Regards, Ben Duffill (BSN) 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
