High Noon. Belle Vue V Poole Ela. 29/08/16.
Steve Shovlar replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tried to stick a 20 in the turnsyle there but it just beeped. A security guard then came over and wanted to look in my bag and confiscated a prawn sandwich and bottle of chablis. Told me you couldnt pay at the turnsyles so I left in disgust. Must be a northen thing...... -

None. Came down to just two heats, 2 and 7 in the first half of the meeting. Better team in second half but damage done. Bv better team first half while poole getting used to track. Poole threw away quite a few places due to no track knowledge. Fair play to them. -

Not going to get a point out of this. No complaints being passed left right and centre. Some good racing if you are a bv fan. Newman has been spectacular in two heats. Track now unsuprisingly extremely slick and dusty. -

Some good racing. Downside is its the bv riders doing the passing! And they say there is no home advantage? -

Agree bv the better team holder not fast enough. Bjarne kurtz and buck should have stayed in bed. -

Poole riders got their throttles wide open and its not fast enough. From a rider. Need more horse power than we have got. In for a thumping at this rate. -

Poole being beaten up on speed. Not at the races. -

We have arrived and in the car park. Only car in here at present no one on the gates. All security sitting in the grandstand having a meeting. Took us 3 hours 20 mins a record time. Overcast at the mo. Track looks grippy. No one about. -
No more Poles would be preferable. Three is enough. Having half a dozen Poles out of 16 would stifle the competition. Variety is the spice and the more different nations the better Imo. Poland produces good riders that seem to lack that killer edge and consistency on the world stage. One race a world beater, then next at the back. Of course its my opinion and many will completely disagree with me. A top three next week of Dudek, KK and god forbid Jedrzejak would not be good for the series.

Where's the best place to park? The school or the stadium itself? Getting there around 10.30 if we have a clear trip up. -
Peoplevsaid the same about Woofinden. In his first year he struggled but it was a learning experience. Because even though speedwy in Britain is struggling at this time, we are still one of the major nations. One rider out of 16 is not enough. What would be the point loading the GP with 5-6 or more Poles, who are all good but rarely outstanding on the world stage? There has to be a variety of nations and Britain deserves more than one berth IMO.

Sorry can anyone decypher this post? So you are saying Leicester have a good race track, or they travel well, or both?

Polish Xtra/nice Leagues/etc Live On Tv
Steve Shovlar replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Terrible crowd. I know the Poles like league racing but with a lineup like this you would have thought a decent crowd would have turned up instead of deserted stands. -

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Forecast could not be better. Lots of driving but hopefully two good meetings. Looked to take in Scunthorpe after Belle Vue but not enough time to get across. Pleased both sides are full strength. Poole's first ever visit to NSS so it might take them a few rides to get the feel for the track. With the weather good and this possibly the biggest league meeting so far at the NSS, lets hope the Belle Vue fans can be assed to turn up for this one. Any bv fan know how ticket sales are going? If this doesn't bring in the crowd nothing will.
