That would mean Lidsey at reserve Monday.

If you'd have offered the Aces 48-42 earlier suspect they'd have snapped your hands off.

There is a decent car park at the stadium but getting off it post meeting is a pain. Cash only last time I parked there a few years ago. Park by the numerous car dealerships that line the main road heading towards the city. No idea what direction that is in though.

If Kerr starts 2023 like he ended 2022 for the Tigers, Brennan will certainly not have it all his own way at reserve. Can't really see anything but a comfortable home win. Has Lidsey ever ridden Owlerton before?

If Zagar, Lindgren & Lambert are not included in the field for the rescheduled event I'd rather use the ticket refund towards a couple of league matches.

I think it would have been sensible to have called it off at midday rather than 14:30ish! As if the forecast was going to change. I understand why the club did so, they're not going to get the likes of Zagar, Lindgren, Lambert & Holder over for the restaging. Thankfully I'd only got as far as Dunham Massey when I found out it was off. Now I need to decide what to do with the ticket but until Eurosport decide what fixtures they are showing I can't do that. Going to be late April before my first methanol fix of 2023.

Belle Vue Speedway @TheAces · 1m ❗️ LUNCHTIME UPDATE ❗️ We are monitoring the weather here in Manchester as we build up to tonight's meeting. At the moment, it is not raining at the track. We would ask supporters to please keep an eye on our social media for further updates as we move into the afternoon.

Yep, weather forecast looks terrible and Wednesday would be better, however the club have just updated Twitter with another post advertising the event. 5 rider-semi and 6 rider final.

Was the busiest night at the NSS last season. I've got my ticket, can't wait it has been too long!

Reports suggest Blodorn had got the hang of Foxhall during the play off semi, but his form away from NSS does need to improve. Jorgensen will be at reserve for the rest of the season, as soon as Jakobsen attains an average.

Been a long while since I've seen Proctor at Perry Barr but he was very useful back in the days of Jason Lyons!

Cowley to Blunsden is 35 miles. Owlerton to Gorton is 33 miles. Monmore to Dudley Wood is 7.5 miles. Atmosphere at Cradley/Wolves fixtures were great in the late 80's early 90's, not old enough to remember anything prior to that. The Dudley Wolves Cup fixture at Monmore when Ermolenko & Correy were excluded from heat 15 allowing Hancock & Hamill to cruise around for a 5-0 was superb. I've only been Grand Stand at NSS when Sheffield have visited, have been to Owlerton for several Aces visits, but Tigers have always won quite comfortably. There was animosity between Wolves & Bees fans at Monmore in the early-mid 2000's.

So who do people think will be the top ten in the averages? I'll go for.... Jason Doyle 9.9 Dan Bewley 9.7 Max Fricke 9.1 Emil Sayfutdinov 8.9 Tobiasz Musielak 8.3 Jack Holder 8.2 Niels-Kristian Iversen 7.9 Sam Masters 7.9 Nicki Pedersen 7.8 Brady Kurtz 7.8

Sheffield Ipswich Leicester Belle Vue Kings Lynn Wolves Peterborough

Assume Sayfutdinov is 8:00 so 4:27 for final rider, has to be above 4:00 for Rew to start at reserve. Batchelor retired?

Great signing to Ipswich, which makes them joint favourites for the league with Sheffield assuming he completes the season.

Not been checking in much.... What happened with Holder?

MPT has signed for Kings Lynn.

Hayley Bromley is the centre green announcer at NSS usually. if that is who you mean, she also writes a column in the programme. She's far better than Porkie from Monmore and the guy at EoESg. I don't mind the guy that does it at Owlerton & Perry Barr as much as those two, but she's more knowledgeable than him IMO.

Hopefully Bydgoszcz on Saturday & Poznan on Monday. Don't really wish to watch follow the leader at Gdansk again.

Hoping to be in Poland this weekend, Friday at Torun, Sunday at Grudziądz. Don't think Rybnik is close by but the other three are. When is it likely to be known which meeting(s) are on the Saturday & Monday? Racing at Poznan any good?

Don't know if it has been mentioned previously but GiveusaB Comlin wish is not happening, he's signed or Glasgow

4.79 I think.

Solid if unspectacular team. Except for Thompson there is no potential improver. Maybe Fricke will have a better year away from NSS, he had a very poor year in the GP's (Warsaw aside), perhaps he's peaked. Maybe not riding in Ekstraliga last year affected him, not the case this year. Morris & Lawson you'd think have peaked, Sedgman & Harris are on the downward spiral. But if they make the playoff's, they could surprise someone. I'd put the Lions behind Sheffield & Belle Vue, but as good if not better than Kings Lynn. But better than Wolves. Think allot depend on the (final) signings for Witches & Panthers as to whether they'll be nailed on for playoffs or in the mix for 4th spot.

You can't keep protecting riders though, I'd say Poland have it right except for the U24 position should be only for a Pole. Sadly there is not the conveyor belt of talented youngsters coming through the ranks in Britain that there is in Poland.
