Hopefully Belle Vue will join you the so called Premiership is bobbins.

Yes law of averages could come into it, but i think it was Preston North End who finally won the play offs at the eleventh attempt, so could have a bit to go yet

I would think so but history shows we dont do well in play offs, time for change perhaps?

If Wolves finish top i think they will pick Sheffield hoping BV knock out Peterborough as we have fared better on aggregate against them and i cant see us beating Wolves over two legs as we dont seem able to impose ourselves on teams at the NSS in the manner we will have to do in the final, its looking like Sheffield could be the pick for whoever finishes top.

Glad to see Freddie get up from that one, horrendous crash, the GP continues to prove having all the best riders doesnt guarantee good racing, im getting fed up with it tbh, appears to becoming more and more processional.

Good job Lawson didn't turn up, that Wolves didn't need him says a lot for BV, I was critical about bringing S Worrall back this season he has reached his level, you need riders with improvement in them to be winning silverware, ah well down to Wolves and I fear more of the same. Wolves are a solid outfit and cannot see past them for the title.

Didnt fancy us in either meeting but with the addition of Lawson at the NSS Wolves should win quite comfortably considering we struggle to put teams away at home, Kings lynn holding us to six dosent augur well for us against Wolves.

I think with the new points system riders ride within themselves to qualify for the semis then give it everything, the result of the scoring system.

Well it disproves the theory the top riders always produce the best racing, some of the best racing at the NSS has been the Colts.

Overall total c**p, borefest, poor crowd, shocking camera angles, only bonus being the start line girls, especially the blonde. Im getting totally fed up of the series to be honest, would have been better off taking the cameras to an NDL meeting. Got to be Woffinden and Bewley for the SON, where did Lambert get the ruthless nickname from?

Well done Adam Ellis fully deserved win, a good meeting overall and good performances from Nicholls, Harris, and Howarth who havent always been great around the NSS, Lambert also gave a good account of himself as he did guesting for us, hope Wright can find that form for the Aces from here on in.

I agree the new points system isnt for me either.

Very sad to hear this, RIP.

You,ve nailed the managerial default mode statement there, it was good to see more kids coming along but with Dan i would imagine being the latest to decamp to Poland next season (understandable) and there being doubts hanging over a few clubs the future of the sport in the UK is at a tipping point, the only difference in the top two leagues as you say is being able to pay less to see the same riders except for a couple at Championship tracks, throw in the poor entertainment at the NSS too this season and its not been a good return from lockdown entertainment wise.

Possibly not so when you look at Belle Vue,s record of keeping underperforming riders.

And there lies the problem.

Fully deserved Panthers win, seven heat wins for BV five of them for Bewley underlines how bang average we are, Palin was superb tonight and Panthers could even afford to carry Harris. Peterborough and Wolves are the best two teams in the league, Panthers team has been well built always ensuring a high scoring reserve, we didnt deserve to get out of jail in the last heat and paper over the cracks, disappointing for us but apart from Bewley and Brennan who as a young rider has got improvement in him the rest have reached their level.

Add the times that Tatum tells us Zmarzlik is world champion as well, seems to be every sentance.

This should be a comfortable home win but we have looked vulnerable at home so far, as this is the start of a run of home meetings its just what the team need, hope the track is prepared for some good racing that has been missing at the NSS so far this season, best racing has been in the NL.

I remember Peter Collins winning a race at Hyde Road after his handlebars snapped, he won holding the forks with his left hand

I know people with no interest in football that wear city, united leisure wear and the same with other sports because the product is good, if speedway could get this right its certainly another way of getting the clubs name out there.

Most speedway merchandise just seems geared for people to wear on the terracing, when i go in Man Utd shop everything is geared for general leisure ware for everyday use, i know theres a massive difference between speedway and football clubs financially but i would like to see more leisure ware type merchandise that i could wear socially not just at the track.

I have to agree Lisa, you should be expecting your number one to be leading the way and showing consistency, that i expected nothing and was underwhelmed by his signing didnt bode well. Lets hope those that say Bewley going to number one will relieve the pressure on Kurtz and he can pick up are right, but really in this weak league he should be doing far far better than this.

Very good meeting with some good racing, far better than what people see on tv, the rain did seem to suit Wolves more than us but Douglas and Becker came to the party and who is to say they wouldnt have had it stayed dry? Our problem again was two under performing riders, i didnt expect anything from Kurtz so have not been disappointed, but Wright has been a major let down so far, nothing like the rider that won the British final and did so well at the GP in Cardiff, but a very good meeting very enjoyable and had a good chat with some Wolves fans who were top blokes.

Im looking forward to the trip down but dont have a lot of optimism for this one being honest, we are going to need the type of bounce back that we showed at Peterborough to get anything i think, is it now straightforward paying on the door? Some clubs still seem to be struggling.
