Coventry V Kings Lynn -monday 11th July - 7.30pm
R87 replied to NeilWatson's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Coventry look an absolute husk of a club. Sad to see one of Britain's greatest clubs in what appears could be it's death throes. -
Cardiff Saturday 9th July 2016

Thoroughly enjoyed it last night. I was in the top tier on the second bend and that seemed a lot fuller than in previous years. I had my Rio 2016 cap which I bought at the Maracana last year,so maybe that was an omen for Lindback!?! He rode brilliantly and was a well deserved winner. I'm not sure whether this was better than 2010. Certainly very little to choose. -
Belle Vue V Wolverhampton 06-07-2016
R87 replied to GregoryM's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Would have snapped your hand off for a point at 7 of clock. Well deserved and a very good meeting. Needed a result bearing in mind we are merely fulfilling the fixture tomorrow. Big concerns over Howarth though. Will have to consider changes if he doesn't get his act together. Can't afford to carry two reserves. Slightly concerned that Masters faded as the meeting went on yet again -

Shut up Pearson. You've milked it enough about 93 -

Don't see PK doing much on this track. He'll be stopping for oxygen round there. -

Doubt many Wolves fans will be there given the team and the weather. -

Very big win for Belle Vue if the weather doesn't intervene -
Wolves V Coventry Mon 6th June 2016
R87 replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Eventually a good win for us, after a spirited battle by the Bees. Excellent meeting tonight with some terrific racing. I've been a big critic of the lack of good racing in the last 5 seasons, but the last few matches at Monmore have been very good. -

Can see Coventry winning this. -
Good that Bech and the club appear to have parted on good terms. I'm not all that sure about PK returning, as his form this year hasn't been particularly outstanding, though I guess it will help that he won't be expected to nag in 15s and 14s every week given our good form at the moment. Have to say it shows the stupidity of the regulations with averages that he will likely be a reserve on Monday (incidentally, his last appearance as a reserve in the UK was at Oxford on October 12th 1990!). Something the BSPA need to review again in the winter.

Lakeside Hammers V Wolverhampton Wolves - 1 June On Sky

Wolves have been bullied out of this tonight. 3 heat wins all night says it all. -
Lakeside Hammers V Wolverhampton Wolves - 1 June On Sky
R87 replied to TonyE's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Track isn't the best, but Kylmakorpi showed you can pass on the outside if your brave enough. Need Masters and Bech to come to the party if we want to be in with a chance of nicking a point. -
Poole Pirates Vs Belle Vue Aces 23/5/16 Sky Meeting
R87 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The track clearly needs a lot of work to rectify the problem soon before somebody comes away from there with a bad injury. Holder is clearly going through the motions, but good on him for speaking his mind about the track. -

Super heat 3 there -
Delighted with the win to put us back at the summit. My second trip to Leicester and I was curious to see for myself whether the standard of racing had improved. In fairness there were one or two good moments of racing, especially a cracking heat 13 between Starke and Kylmakorpi. By and large though, it was pretty ordinary. Have to say the crowd was really poor. But when te home teams struggling and the weather is poor, it's not a huge suprise. A real pity because it's a cracking little venue. If more thought had gone into the track, they could have had something really special.
-
Not going to criticise too much as the weather clearly caught the Brummies out. I came out of work at 5pm convinced it was going to be off, so they deserve credit for getting the match on and avoiding the nightmare of slotting in a rearranged fixture. Saying that, it was arguably the poorest meeting I've seen at Perry Barr with not one single pass.
-
Pretty straight forward for Wolves last night against a poor Leicester team. One or two moments of good racing as well, with a brilliant outside pass by Freddie on Watt. Sad that we used to see those moves several times in one meeting, but now so rare at Monmore.
-
Bech's not got going yet, but I wouldn't lose faith in him just yet. He's been unfortunate to be in a difficult spot in the side as well as picking up an injury. But he does need to start performing better soon.

Have to say that I've seen much better racing in two matches at Brandon this season than in any meeting for a good long while at Monmore. Never thought I'd type those words.
