The problem the Bears have is that most riders seem to like riding there. A couple of strange heat scores contributed to Glasgow's struggles it seems, Harris last in heat one and Nagel last in heat 6.

You definitely proved your superiority, Doyle's comment was a bit tongue in cheek and probably done to worry BV. who had riders that had an eye on individual glory. 

This was your last contribution on a Belle Vue thread, way back on September 6th. Is everything ok Geoff? Hope you’re well.. Did you think it was a “cracker” by the way, Geoff?

Totally disagree and as it turned out, the track wasn’t “rough” in the slightest. The weather was the only thing that made things tricky to begin with before it dried and sickened off. It would have made absolutely no sense to purposely rough up a track that they’ve comprehensively whooped Belle Vue on all year! The only thing could have done, was upset the home riders more and and make the result a bit of a lottery. Ipswich are far superior to Belle Vue this year, no “tricks” were needed or necessary. 

Or both of them? Or any two. Two leagues of seven teams. There is zero chance they will self destruct completely by having one league, with a lot of weekend clubs meaning none of the top boys realistically riding over here.    Rumour is more TV money will be given to top flight clubs, so that will help two Championship clubs in moving up.
