ouch

The outcry over the refs performance is ringing out loud and clear on all social media platforms with some asking how he could be so wrong. As unpalatable as it is, it’s obvious why the decisions went the way they did and it’s not the first time this has happened with Ford involved. After years and years of cheating he feels bulletproof and now hardly attempts to hide his actions - unbelievable and sad in equal measures. I reckon another 10% will be knocked off the fan base with this latest fiasco and after years of this you have to ask when will it end? 10% equals around £500k a year less coming into the sport but that’s like water off a ducks back for the cheating scumbags down there who have no real love for this fabulous sport of ours. Dark days for the sport once again.

With the lead up to this meeting and the way it’s panned out, is Ford doing a farewell greatest hits of some of his favourite cheats?

Poole can’t use Morris in the away leg as his average is too high. They know the rules at the start of the season so if they don’t like it don’t take part, as is often trotted out. It’s Poole though so......... just clearing my throat............. Cheating scumbags!!

If the penny hasn’t yet dropped for you about having play offs in speedway, then it never will.

October. Are you coming to Kings Lynn? Yeh, wouldn’t miss is as we are likely to get a trophy. April. Are you coming to Kings Lynn? No it’s boring. May. Chapman issues a use it of lose it warning to the Stars “faithfully” Speedway promoting out of the top drawer.

So we doctored the track to gain an advantage but lost by eight.

Anybody got the stats on a chairman’s team winning the play offs?

Not Aces fans, they only said a track should be prepared for good racing and it’s difficult/impossible to argue with that.

That never even occurred to me.

I’m with you, I think more injured riders should be made to race or as you say be banned. Steve Worrall is hobbling about but manages to ride whereas Mark, Dan and Craig just sit on their arses.

Probably the NSS track and I for one don’t think the management are poor.

Go fish. Lol.

If we did that people would still complain that it strengthens us.

Are you referring to the injured Mark Riss?

I see we got 9 points from Craig & Dans rides. Ouch. Great effort from the battered and bruised Aces. Can we carry our luck bank over to next year or does it reset at the end of the season like normal. lol

Disappointing to go out but having watch Ht13 again it’s difficult to stay disappointed for too long. Love the NSS and The Aces.

With Belle Vue having (probably) only three meetings left, they are leaving it really late for their luck to even out over the season. Could be our saving grace?

Looking at the results with Riss in, we would have made the play offs anyway with Jye and had a potentially good scoring reserve at the NSS. As most said at the time it should have been Dimitri for Drozdz and keep Jye. What’s done is done but we never really got to see Mark perform due to him carrying an injury.

If Mark rides abroad like Andersen or if he’d gone home ‘cause his Dad, auntie or whoever it was had a cold like North them quite rightly people would be up in arms, as that is cheating pure and simple.

Apparently to keep him happy Belle Vue will ride the two cup competitions with only 6 riders as per his request. At least that’s over with.

Feel for the lad and I hope he sorts his ankle and comes back stronger next year. No real adequate cover out there but it’s no loss as our goose was cooked when Dan was injured. Some sort of luck still with us. Having said all this I’m hoping Mark doesn’t do an Andersen and ride abroad whilst claiming to be injured in the UK as that would be cheating.

Name the horses

Confidence thing with Jack, everything else is there. Riders and fans alike say how races are won and lost in the mind. I’m not sure it the new UK set up have got hold of him yet but it would be interesting to see if they could help turn things round.
