Sometimes a change of scenery for rider can do the trick. At Sheffield he has Steady as his Team Manager, who has worked hard with Lewis on his riding, and the one thing Promotion at Sheffield have been please with Lewis is the fact he has took the advice given and acted on it. Not something that the Estate Agent could do at Kings Lynn.

Happy, but not surprised by the result. We not a bad side away from home this season. So far this season in the League, League Cup and Play Offs, away from this season we have this record. Belle Vue; won 1 lost 3 Ipswich: won 1 lost 1 Kings Lynn won 3 lost 0 Peterborough; won 1 drawn 1 (lost on golden Heat) Wolves; won 2 lost 2 Only Wolves have won at Sheffield this season, so we looks like barring any disasters looks like the silverware is coming to us. Also looks like the 3 best teams in the league will be picking up the silverware this season. Belle Vue; League Champions Sheffield; League Cup winners Ipswich; Pairs

Should be an interesting meeting, I would agree that the Stars need a 10 plus lead back to Sheffield. But since returning back to the top league we have good record at Kings Lynn. Won 3, Drawn 1 Lost 0 We also have a couple of Ex Stars riders who want to put one over the Stars. For me this is our best chance this season to get some silverware, and to be honest if we fail this time I will be very disappointed.

No Jordan Palin in the side then.

Congratulations to Belle Vue in winning the Play Off Final. The atmosphere on the night was electric, and credit has to be given to the Aces supporters who turned out in numbers. Its a pity the camera's did not capture the atmosphere, as I can tell you the atmosphere was there. The Aces supporters celebrated Polish style with smoke bombs and flares, which I did not mind apart from the smell, which smelt like dog rubbish. The referee decisions were in my opinion mostly correct after looking at the replays on the phone. I think Belle Vue came into the meeting to simply defend the 12 point lead and frustrate the Tigers, and we were chasing the in the meeting all night. But cannot fault our riders who put in 100% effort, but the Aces were just to good for us over the two legged final, and the signing of Robert Lambert as I suspected swung the advantage to Belle Vue. We now move onto the League Cup Final as consolation winning silverware against Kings Lynn so we are still in with a chance of winning something. Finally for me the Play Off's should stay, the tension and excitement that they create means they should stay.

I picked Kyle out due to his scores for Sheffield and his British Final scores at Belle Vue Belle Vue 5 points from 5 rides 3 points from 4 rides 5 points from 4 rides British Final 10 points from 5 rides

Kyle Howarth is the key man for me. Need him to be more hit than miss.

And in a recent No Breaks No Fear Podcast, Bates stated that there would be more than likely 6 teams in the Premier League. Could a team from Premier League be dropping down into the Championship. Interesting that Leicester are moving up a club owned by Bates, could it be that Leicester are replacing Sheffield in the Premier League with Sheffield moving back down to the Championship.

Putting aside the who signed who lets look a the last times the teams rode each other at each others tracks Belle Vue 5th September Belle Vue 54 Sheffield 36 Belle Vue had their full 1 to 7. Sheffield Klindt replaced Musielak and scored 12 points from 6 rides. Sheffield 22nd September Sheffield 57 Belle Vue 33 Sheffield had their full 1 to 7 Belle Vue had Rider Replacement Fricke and the team scored 6 points from the Rider Replacement rides. Overall Aggregate Scores; Sheffield 93 Belle Vue 87. Although Sheffield won those meetings on aggregate, I cannot see Musielak matching Klindt scores, and Lambert will score more than double the Rider Replacement score at Sheffield. For me Belle Vue are rank favourites.

For me Belle Vue start as rank favourites, and the Play Off Finals could be won by heat 10. The signing of Robert Lambert number 4 in the world gives Belle Vue a massive advantage, they already had a decent side already either with Fricke or Rider Replacement. Bringing in Lambert who has fallen into Belle Vue's lap is a Masterstroke, is it cheating? I don't think so. Will it make for a better more exciting Final? I don't think so. To start quoting Lambert's record and the fact that he has not rode Sheffield for a number years is bull crap, he is the World Number 4 for a reason. Sheffield are new to the top league, and in our 2nd season we have made the Final, on step further than last season so the club is progressing.

They say that reserves win you matches. The present Sheffield reserve pairing at home have rode together 6 times this season. Only one occasion has the opposition pairing have outscored them, interesting the only team to do was Peterborough. Those that have failed were; Belle Vue Kings Lynn twice Wolves Ipswich. Would have preferred the camera's not been at the meeting as it tends to be a longer night than usual. But I think that we will have too much for the Wolves , but it will be close.

Really I would say that Belle Vue are. Belle Vue having far more formidable at home that any other team this season.

Klindt was signed before the transfer window, and has made some appearances for Kings Lynn. He is on decent average and is a decent replacement for Fricke. Whether its Fricke, Klindt or Lambert Belle Vue should have enough strength in depth to get their first League title in a number of years. Why are you panicking.

Good win for the Aces last night, and would imagine that they should make the Play Off Final, as there home performances having and I would say that they are the team to beat. Ipswich team totally capitulated last night and face what looks like an impossible task of pulling off the aggregated win. But they look like they will win the Pairs, which will just reward for Jason Doyle who has been the standout rider in the League.

Totally different. Greyhound With Greyhound, you don't need much to get your dog into the stadium. Park the car away from the stadium, stick a lead on your dog and walk into the stadium. Same for the staff. Spectators who attend afternoon meetings is very small they would quite easily arrive on foot. Speedway How do you get 14 riders, bikes, mechanics and tools into stadium. What about the spares van, how does he get into the stadium. A large number of fans would be coming in cars, where are they going to park. Parking on the roads around the stadium is limited.

The road as at present is closed in both directions about a quarter of a mile from both directions of the stadium. The road Penistone Road that the stadium situated is a main road into Sheffield and travelling in Sheffield today especially those of us live in the Sheffield 6 area as is the stadium has been a nightmare whether its by car or bus. There is a good reasons why police shut the road of nature, the last thing they need is large number of cars coming in and out of a stadium. On this occasions I think everyone has to accept that the reasons for cancelling the meeting are out of the control of the promotion.

Why? The Official Announcement came out at around 06:30pm. The meetings were due to start at 07:30pm, most or many would have already set off for the meeting, so would caused a lot of inconvenience. If the announcement was made 3 or 4 hours earlier then maybe I would say cancel the meeting fair enough.

Totally agree.

No Passing? So you missed Musielak pass Flint in heat 1 or Heat 4 Holder passing Flint 0r Becker passing Sedgmen in heat 7 or Masters getting by after a tussle with Mountain in Heat 9 or Heat 10 when gated on 5 - 1, only for Becker and Douglas to get by Kerr. or Heat 13 Holder's pass on Morris or Heat 14 Douglas pass on Howarth I admit I have seen better and more exciting meetings at Sheffield this season, but to claim that there was no passing is simply not true.

Before the meeting I would have taken a point from this meeting. So not unhappy with my teams performance. Surprised to see Masters taking heat 15, hopefully the fall he had won't have caused him further damage to his injury.

As far as I am aware the replacing Allen was a permanent move yo temporary.

For me the return of the bonus point is a good idea. But for they should do away with the nice try point, the one that awards a point if the away team loses by 6 points or less. Whoever heard of a sport where you are rewarded for losing. For me it has to be; 3 points for a win 2 points for a away draw 1 point for home draw. 0 points for a loss

When did this happen cannot find any news anywhere that he has an injury. If he has then I would expect that we will go with Rider Replacement for him as all of the top 4 can take an extra ride for him.

On paper Kerr for Cook is a strange move. In saying that Cook has been off form this season even his figures have not been of previous standard for Glasgow, and he has not hit the heights at Sheffield. Add his injury and the fact that the Rider Replacement rides taking his rides are not productive we maybe need to find a replacement. As for Kerr a change of track might be just what he needs, and it could be a good move for both rider and club.

Craig Cook is injured so maybe a replacement for him, that is if they were to bring in Lewis Kerr.
