Why not make the trip up if Belle Vue do get through, we could have some great banter in real life instead of you just gobbing off from the safety of your bedroom.

I bet they are thrilled to have you on their side, it must make all their woes just drift away. Truth of it is they weren't good enough when it counted, as already pointed out just 23points from 6 riders, that can't be put down to bad luck. For me any team that contains Troy Bachelor is on a hiding to nothing, the bloke's been stealing a living at speedway for a good few years now, time to shuffle off back down under.

Like you during last seasons final?

You often dive in with your 'expert' opinions and end up totally wrong, tonight being a prime example, "Aces done after 2 heats, Blodorn is useless on this track", just makes you look stupid really. I never made any predictions about tonight, had a good feeling about it but kept it to myself as far as putting it on here was concerned.

You're rubbish at predictions

Yeah the Aces have been really lucky in losing their No1 with a season ending injury.

I reckon so.

Tungate played for the foul and got exactly what he deserved.

Passionate statement from Lee there, definitely feeling pain over Blunsdon.

It's almost like they've borrowed the Karlsson corridor for the night, someone commented before the start that they'd ripped up the back straight, definitely giving some bite out of bend 2.

Was wondering that myself, are they both trackside? Even I saw Danny King pack up at the back but Brannon seemed unaware.

Cracking semi final, very mature ride from Tom Brennan, well done Tom.

Connor Mountain, ride of the day so far, stuck to his guns and it paid off, great race

Nice ride by Ellis there, track seems decent for passing.

Been a bit like the Polish Play off semi last night, not the best racing but the scoreline has kept it interesting, no complaints.

Babysitted, dear me.

He was trying to speak Cornish for Bomber

Must be a great feeling to silence a big noisy crowd in that manner, what a buzz.

Fair comment but there was never a chance of him clearing the track.

But surely Woryna was the cause of the stoppage, regardless of what happened after

Terrible decision that has spoiled a decent meeting.

Didn't know that, how come?

That was a very telling interview, not even bothered to tell him he wasn't riding, that's poor.

Now it's alive, game on.

Congrats to Leon, commiserations to Tom as it looked as though he was going to make a race of it until that happened. Saw most of the meeting but had to keep flipflopping between it and BTsports as the Norwegian Meat Shield was banging them in at the Etihad. Enjoyable evening of sport all round.
