Belle vue rider being a very bad loser.

Coventry won it in 2010 by the same way with Shamek smashing in similar scores.

As a neutral I can say there is absolutely no chance of Belle Vue making it through to the final. It’s called a foregone conclusion, meaning “a result that can be predicted with certainty”. Belle Vue fought well but once the Lynn riders got dialled in to the track there was only one team in it. Even if Cook declares himself fit to ride it won’t make any difference. I am reading some Lynn fans not wanting to count their chickens before they have hatched but really, they surely have to believe the job is done?

You are 8 points up going into the second leg. At home. I think you can start to celebrate making the final. It won’t come back to bite you on the jacksy.

Teams lose riders when it really matters. Two season ago Poole lost Andersen when it mattered. Last year Wolverhampton lost their top two for the final. This year It’s Belle Vues turn. It’s a dangerous sport and the risk of injury is high. Rotten luck on BV as it was for Wolves as it was for Poole. Kings Lynn look unstoppable.

Allitt does come across as extremely smug. But he should be tonight, as his team romped it. Lemon saying it’s not over yet is bravado but frankly Mission Impossible: No Chance. It is rotten luck for BV but even if Cook had been fit to ride I doubt they would have had any lead. Probably only 2 or 4 down. Bringing in Riss to push Toft to reserve has turned them into Champions elect. Can’t really see how they can be beaten and will win it comfortably. Only Doyle out of Somerset and Poole has the firepower to beat Lambert and Iversen. And neither club has anyone who can beat Toft on that form. It would take a monumental team effort to beat Kings Lynn over two legs.

No point in BT going to Lynn next week. May as well have the full production at Wimborne Road. Shows why Lynn are massive favourites for the title. Big top 2 and a free scoring reserve. No hope for any of the other teams.

Sending out Tungate in heat 15 shows how weak BV are tonight.

All very predictable to be honest. Belle Vue started well, better than expected to be honest thanks to 2 poor opening rides to Lambert and Iversen, but once dialled in found it all quite easy. A shame the racing hasn’t been as good as hoped.

Hearing BV have new sponsors. Aunt Bessies. They know how to do a good crumble.

Who on earth can tolerate that screeching woman center green announcer?

EF’s are not bad luck. 90% of the time they can be avoided.

Reason Kings Lynn are massive favourites for the title. Hit form at just the right time.

Disaster for Worrall. Unacceptable to be honest. All over now for Belle Vue.

Is Toft at reserve for Lynn next month? If he is, they are clear favourites for the title.

Toft a meeting and probable title winner for Lynn.

Lynn now back and fairly comfy.

Surely will have 7 rides.

The fightback is now on.

10 up. Interesting lead.

Proctor did the same to Berge but the Frenchman didn’t shift. Worrall take note.

Good race!

Still fancy Kings Lynn. With Worrall waiving the oppo through and Berge on a slug, its not good. And like fb says, both Lambert and Iversen will improve.

Hahahaha! Iversen super clanger. Nice to see a guest rider giving his all.

Wasn’t strong enough. When in second allowed Proctor to simply move him out then didn’t have the sense to stick to the inside line.
