Yes, I saw fireworks on the TV while the trophy was being handed out & 10 riders were trying to squeeze onto a bench. -

I'm unsure on the Musielak exclusion, need a better angle. Holder & Howarth have been poor for Tigers over the two legs Brennan rode much better than I expected and the racing at Owlerton has been much better than it has been when I've seen it in recent years. -

Commiserations Sheffield Tigers. Couldn't go tonight due to medical appointment in the evening but it was tense enough watching on the TV. -

Or good ride from Blodorn from the awful gate 3. Not that I'm convinced gate 2 is much better. Not using Zagar in heat 8 means Aces need a 1-5 advantage when he's with Kurtz. -

So far so good for Aces but gate 4 has been an advantage and they've had it 3 times in the first 4 heats. If Holder was excluded Monday Kurtz had to go in heat 1 today. Ellis exclusion was frankly baffling. -

Different times indeed, I used to enjoy watching Wolves at Monmore back then. -

Barely any passing at Owlerton after turn 2 lap 1 is complete these days. -

He's beaten one Tiger (Kerr) in 7 rides this season. -
Belle Vue -V Sheffield POF leg 1 Monday 10th Oct
Col replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The NSS sets a high bar and that didn't get near it, one line near the fence. I thought Holder was correctly excluded from that heat. Unlucky as it was 50/50. Kerr was always going to drift out but Wright had his wheels in a straight line a long time prior to the collision, Holder hadn't finished turning the bike. -

Advantage Sheffield I feel. Topsy turvy night. With all the speed out wide track wasn't to Blodorn 's liking and after the coming together he had to have 7 rides. Why couldn't Aces use Brennan as injury RR for Wright in heat 14? Musielak has never ridden NSS so well. What Wright was doing when he hit the fence I have no idea, nothing to race for & no pressure just needed to get 4 laos complete and pick up the points. -

Yes. Modern day "gardening" is OTT. What makes me laugh is a rider spends an eternity preparing a groove, the start marshall makes them move. The riders does nothing in that new position and still makes a great start. -

With the exception of Bewley no Brit in attendance that night is as quick as Zagar and probably Kurtz at the NSS. The only Ace I'd expect Howarth to beat everytime they meet is Etheridge. I'd call it 50/50 between Howarth with Wright, Brennan & Blodorn. If Brennan can recapture his British final form Tigers are in trouble. -

Exactly the same could be said about Howarth's Aces counterparts Wright & Brennan. I think Ellis is the key man for Sheffield tonight, can he take points off Zagar & Kurtz? -

I think Belle Vue need to hit 55 tonight, which they are capable of doing. You do? I'm not sure I agree. Blodorn can be tremendous at the NSS but has shown no liking of Owlerton in three visits, that said he rode well in his final two rides at Foxhall in the semi final so could discover his form there. Etheridge tends to get by with one heat win at home and a couple of third places again showed no points scoring form at Owlerton this season. Sedgmen has struggled at NSS and has been a surprising choice as guest for teams on a few occasions, but as both have finished their Championship seasons how do the two reserve Aussies compare: Justin Sedgmen 7.39 Jye Etheridge 6.71 Sedgmen has been a heat leader (often the only one) for the Brummies, Etheridge started at reserve for the Bandits. Mountain showed good form in the British Final. Personally I think the Aces have the edge in the top three but the Tigers are stronger in the bottom 4. -

Tigers will stay Premier to run on Thursday. Steelers own Sundays in Sheffield. -

Doyle shed a chain battling Wright for 2nd if I recall correctly, the other Ace in that heat was well clear. Doyle didn't move from the gate because he didn't turn his fuel on. Wright. 7/5, 10/5 & 5/5 at Owlerton this year. 10 again would be good. -
Sheffield v Wolves 06.19.22 PO semi second leg
Col replied to Cue Ball's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Or Torun Long distance season ticketing is a drain, especially when the meeting is on TV and you don't get out the stadium around an hour later than normal! It was better than the clips they showed from Monmore on Monday, not that I watched it all as it was very one-sided. Musielak was good value. -

Don't think Lambert was particularly happy with his lot at Saddlebow Road in 2019! Overall he was still third in the averages that year behind Fricke (oh, the irony) & Doyle.
