Ace no.5

We need all our 1-7 on fire, which they are capable of. I won't be selling my ticket. Even if we only have a 1% chance of winning this (personally I'd put our chances at around 5-10%) I want to be there to witness the greatest victory in BV recent history...

Zagar underperformed. Stevie did his job plus some. Fricke dreadful. Very disappointing. Nicholls - expected more. Cook - our rider of the night. Richie - disappointing. Jacobs - expected what he got but even he was a mile ahead out of gate 3! 10 wins from gate 3, dreadful. Racing poor also. Only passes from mistakes of which BV were making plenty! Wolves by far the better team and deserve the 18 point lead. All over bar the shouting. We need all 7 of our guys on fire to have a prayer.

I guess it could be needed for either of 2 different scenarios

I can assure you I speak for 99.9% of BV fans when I say we want to win it! Amazed there is a 0.1% to be honest!

Of course it does. Thought he said "Polish boys" and for me that means his bikes.

And the 2 tracks couldn't be more different. Interesting hearing Tai's comments about bringing his Polish bikes over for the NSS.

Would have been Lindgren IMO. Anyways, I think ref got the PK/Ellis decision wrong but the heat 15 decision right. Even if the PK/Ellis decision was other way round the Wolves strength in depth would have still won it for them in the last 3 heats. Well done to both teams for an excellent and very tense semi final. Wolves deserved winners. See you next week!

Thoughts? I think that over the 2 legs this could be a classic. I'd like BV to keep any deficit to within 6-8 points maximum at Monmore.

We want to use him as a guest but we've been told he's on a 7.00 average...

I can see Bjarne being done for the season now he's got his average raised from all those heat 2 and 12's... Can get in far better riders on the average. The picture of his knee doesn't look bad at all in honesty. As someone else said, you can raise one knee slightly and it looks a little out of shape in comparison to the other knee. I believe someone asked to see a picture of bjarne's flight ticket to the UK for after the meeting in Sweden but so far none has been forthcoming. I wonder if that because there was never a flight booked...?

Correct me if I'm wrong but... A couple of weeks ago when Poole lost 48-42 at Wolves... How many did JT score? (Clue... it was a 5 ride maximum!). How will Harris "cover and then some"???

If average doesn't fit we should just go with R/R and let Matej/Cookie/Scott and Stevie have an extra ride (if not one of the reserves if they're on a hot streak.)

It's off. Re-staging Wednesday.

Starman... You go off on a tangent on another thread about everyone being jealous of poole (I really am not, I despise your club's morals...) and here you are throwing more digs about the BV stadium which you are quite clearly very jealous of...

Loads of rain across the Midlands and the northwest today with more to come this evening. Forecast looks far better for Wednesday and we still have the double header!

Not sure Bomber will be available to Wolves now with the BV meeting being run same evening. Does Bomber's commitment to Lakeside remain?

Meeting off. Re-arranged Wednesday evening.

Of course Bjarne didn't crash on purpose but it gave him a good cover story. As others have said he was always going to tweak a muscle or summat at some point! It was always going to happen! Now poole can strengthen up big time for tonight and the final should they get there. Hopefully they don't. They deserve nothing. No morals.

Well it kinda was a stupid statement as someone on this thread from Lakeside has already said they will be coming up...

It is but we lost to a very poor and out of form KL at home not too long ago by 8 points. Complacency must be a definite no-no...

Lucky Wolfsbane isn't TM

It's a good job this meeting is in Poole tonight as Wolves is currently under a deluge!

Clearly. He's obsessed!

I predict a 51-39 Poole victory.

Could have near enough a full team of GP riders if they all come in on 7's!
