But at Ipswich he has scored 7 and 5(5 rides) At Leicester 7 from 6 rides At Sheffield 5 points His away average might be good at teams who are struggling but against the play off teams away from home he needs to up his game if Belle Vue are to win the league Against Ipswich he has scored 10 and 5 so if R/R gets 8 from 4 that’s about what Lidsey will get as an average against Ipswich

Hoping our boys can be testing set ups tonight and may meet Belle Vue again in the play offs or final Being so good at home means Belle Vue can steamroller any team by 20 points Bewley and Kurtz are world class and will near enough go unbeaten Lidsey away from home is a gating tart and can’t pass water but at Belle Vue he is electric from the starts and fast from behind as he doesn’t need to worry about having to line up riders to pass on the big NSS track I can see Belle Vue heat leader getting 37 between them Blodorn and Cook and Tate and Mulford are all again fast at home and poor away and will have the beating of the Ipswich second strings I feel If we can keep it to 12-14 point loss that’s achievable to pull back at Foxhall where Bewley shows the rest of his team that you can pass at Foxhall …Kurtz didn’t try that hard last time if he’s missed the gate and Lidsey can easily go 3,0,3,0 as he doesn’t have the technical track skills to pass…. The other 4 are pretty average at Foxhall 2 easy home wins just think and hope Ipswich can keep it tighter at the NSS then Belle Vue do at Foxhall

Etheridge injured and withdrawn at Scunthorpe tonight …. Nick Morris struggling as well…. Still don’t understand these changes
-
Read my post I clearly mention Fricke is like Adams I state how good Adams was in the league but Crump better at world level I state that that’s similar to Fricke and Kurtz …. Pretty obvious that I’m comparing Fricke to Adams and Kurtz to Crump I’ve just shown you my post Im certain 99% of people can see what I was saying lol

So I’m assuming you never watched speedway before 2016? Please tell me how many tracks were like the NSS before 2016 in the uk? None is the answer Ive watched speedway since 1981 and with the exception of Bradford and a lesser extent Peterborough nothing comes close to the NSS You summed it up perfectly saying you no longer attend or watch speedway apart from at the NSS ….. sorry that is a shocking attitude to have if you can’t appreciate the other tracks in the UK and blinkered to the extreme You have the best track we aren’t disagreeing and the best races will be at your track more often than not … but I get to see the skills of Doyle and Emil every week taking opponents from the back and it’s sensational at times just like watching Bewley and Kurtz at your place … faster isn’t better always So please tell me why you went to speedway before 2016 as let’s be honest the racing you would have seen was nowhere near what your track now provides so why didn’t you stop going ??? You come across spoilt and entitled

What’s the point of signing a rider if you don’t expect him to score points lol Yes we are signing Cairns and we are really happy if he only scores 1 or 2 each week lol Pooles reserves could ultimately cost them the league Shame Oxford are weakened tonight they could have sneaked this otherwise Good to see Kerr doing more than his job tonight
-
Todd was a great rider could have achieved more if it wasn’t for injury But if you find the interview he stars how much he admired those 3 riders and how they rode Arena was a masterclass Fricke is an awesome rider but seems to nice a bit like Adams …… Adams was as good if not better than Crump in league racing but at world championship level Crump could step up and Adams couldn’t……. Similar with Fricke and Kurtz

As you can see AceBelle has laughed at you which shows the kind of people you are dealing with … basically they will never understand …. They just see their big fast track and that to them is speedway I watched Bewley at Foxhall last season line up and pass Emil then a lap later the same to Ellis … fantastic skillful riding showing that he is supremely talented What these Belle Vue fans don’t understand is that we are all saying it’s the best racetrack in the country by some way ….. but they are totally blinkered to the fact other tracks that aren’t as fast produce good racing as well What’s more entertaining….. a rider taking 4 laps to pass one or two opposing riders by using track craft and going inside and out ….. or just blasting round the boards or cutting back making a long straight …. Not much in it I would say Watch Mark Loram 1999 Swedish Grand Prix on a big track using all manner of lines …. Then watch him at Wolves using all manner of lines to spilt the Karlsson brothers….. 2 totally different tracks but the skill set of the rider makes both compelling viewing To many riders today are simply throttle jockeys who can’t handle different tracks and that’s not a dig at Belle Vue riders that’s around the world … I’m not sure how Zmarzlik or even Kurtz would cope at Eastbourne …. Bewley i feel is more adaptable ….. Bewley has said to me personally he loves riding at Ipswich
-
It’s the Poole fans they expect everyone who signs for them to up their average
-
You don’t need as much skill to ride Belle Vue than most other tracks …. Fast bikes and balls of steel What’s more skillful ….. Kurtz riding the fence on fast bikes to blast round someone … or Loram … Ward …. Screen using inside and outside to pick riders off at Arena or Eastbourne?? NSS is more spectacular to watch absolutely but the other requires more skill as a rider
-
I can say that I know of one ex Sheffield rider who is happy not to be there …said the riders don’t offer each other support and it’s the strangest pits and team environment he has ever seen in his career Nothing wrong with Sheffield making signings it’s allowed I just don’t think they are good ones particularly
-
You can’t say this to Belle Vue fans they can’t accept it We all know Belle Vue is the best track in the country Many passes at Belle Vue are simply the home riders going out in the dirt and blasting round the outside … yes it’s fast it looks good but it isn’t skillful …..the best races (British final last race) will happen at Belle Vue because the track lends itself to great racing I diner need prefer the technical aspect and seeing top riders ride all the different tracks Watch on you tube Loram v Karlsson brothers at Monmore Green or Eastbourne v Poole in 1999 and tell me they aren’t fantastic races/meetings by world class riders who could ride all sorts of tracks not just ones that need fast bikes As much as I want Kurtz to win the world title I wonder if riders like him or even Zmarzlik would have ever coped with those tracks and not just the rocket ship big tracks abroad today I saw an interview with Todd Wiltshire and he said the most talented riders he had ever seen was Mark Loram Joe Screen and Andrew Silver around Arena Essex… Wiltshire said the skill levels were off the charts I expect Belle Vue to win by 14-16 and I hope there is some good racing …. Though I’m expecting race updates to read about ‘Witches make the start before (insert any Belle Vue rider) goes around them on bends 3-4”….. to me I prefer 2 riders battling and skill required for the overtake But yes the NSS is the best track gives the best racing …. But accept that other tracks do too

Blaming Kerr lol… Lawson 3 points from his first 3 rides cost Poole plus Cairns struggling Well done Redcar with Riss and Mulford replacements only getting 7 between them a great back to the walls performance
-
If Redcar manage to win this they will have done magnificently To have 2 riders not there whose replacements are much weaker and to be this close is huge Kerr and Starke doing well for Poole …. Lawson should be sacked for this performance
-
It’s Shovlar…. Spins the same line for how many years now? R/R makes Poole stronger and Voulas for Riss weakens Redcar If Poole win let’s all wait for the prat to say ‘it’s against the odds’
-
Redcar are more vulnerable tonight without Riss and Mulford …. Vuolas can’t replicate what Riss would score
