I realised that Matej would have two races back to back which would mean 5 minutes between races after heat 10, so talked to the team managers and referee, it made sense to have the interval then. No one argued and obviously in hindsight I should have cancelled the interval altogether. I looked at the weather chart all day and it changed every time I looked at it. Next big shower was due at 10pm Mid interval we saw the black cloud and rushed into heat 11. Too little too late. No agenda, no greed, just trying to run a safe entertaining meeting." My estimation was 800 last night too. By far the lowest of the season due to the weather and poor opposition lineup but not far off the regular attendances from next door.

Unless something suddenly changed his mind after last nights meeting as he was saying last night he was going straight from Kings Lynn.

Yep that's correct, rule was changed couple of years ago, just not allowed to guest at same track multiple times within the 8 days

Everyone

Another joke lineup with Kings Lynn missing 3 riders (Iversen, Korneliussen & Lambert) and Belle Vue 1 (Cook). Belle Vue Rentruck Aces Matej Žagar; Steve Worrall; Scott Nicholls ©; Max Fricke; Craig Cook R/R; Richie Worrall; Joe Jacobs Kings Lynn Roger Warnes Trasport Stars Troy Batchelor ©; Lewis Rose; Kenneth Hansen (G); Kai Huckenbeck; Jacob Thorssell (G); Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen; Simon Lambert

Think Steve Worrall should be at second string with Scott Nicholls moving back up to heatleader.

That track is so much better after a lot of rain, I was there in early 2000's when there was lot of rain before the start and start was delayed by an hour, was great racing afterwards. Usually it is far too dry and slick.

And has ridden 3 times at NSS and been poor every time.

Could be an advantage for them.

Clegg produced that great ride and then was very poor after that.

Heat 10 from Friday : http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.30698

Another case of Leicester not caring that half the opposition are missing.

Nicholls was consistent, especially after a heavy fall in first ride, although Cook's score wasn't too bad he was dissappointing, he dropped 3 points being passed 3 times.

Strange meeting as a Belle Vue fan, at the interval I was feeling quite depressed, really felt like we were riding really badly but looked at the score and we were only losing by 7. Couple of 4-2's and it was a comfortable 1 point gained despite several riders off form. Zagar had a couple of terrible rides before changing machinery, Cook went backwards, Steve Worrall really struggled at heatleader and Fricke wasn't great yet we only lost by 3 points. A comfortable aggregate win over one of our play off rivals.

Referee Jim Lawrence excluded Craig Cook at Poole after 2 'moving starts' on sky, then at Belle Vue few weeks ago he did the same with Steve Worrall, last night Garrity moved 3 times and he did nothing!

No parade after 2 heats

Really slick track tonight compared to Monday but still some good racing, wolves were just a 3 man team really and Belle Vue were solid despite Zagar being poor.

He has confirmed he is not riding. Presume Wolves honouring Hansen booking.

He is, but Masters still not riding so still r/r for him.

Yep that was city centre and 1 mile away there was no rain at all.

Funny though that last year when Belle Vue had Zagar and Cook missing, Belle Vue requested the fixture be moved and Leicester refused. This year we have Zagar and Fricke missing and we are suddenly strengthened?

There was no rain yesterday and not much forecast for today so should be no problems. For Wolves fans coming, give yourself more time as the M6 northbound is very busy on a Friday plus there is a Stone Roses concert on at the Etihad Stadium.

Thorsell, Hansen, Howarth, Morris

Pedersen took Woffinden off on 2nd bend and was excluded.

It's like they keep arranging these Slovenian Championships for when we at Leicester!
