I would think you would find ticket prices are increased for any final in any sport.

I've heard similar things to this.I think £20 is reasonable,but £25 totally unreasonable.

Just finished catching up with this thread after a very late night.Couple of diversions back from Manchester last night and dropping friends off i managed to get into bed at 3-30am. First of all not the best match seen at the NSS,but i'm sure most fans would still like to see this track as their home track.It was great to see us pulling off a win from being 10 points down.I was just hoping when we were 10 down that we could pull it back a bit and keep it closer for the 2nd leg.But to get an 18pt swing in our favour in just 8 hts i think was quite incredible,especially as Fricke was in 4 of those races. As regards the plank,he wasn't nice at all was he.Think he had too many beers and probably the one smoking weed which you could smell quite clearly wafting our way.He seemed quite an aggressive person too and said some unpleasant things about the Lynn fans.But as you said it was only the one person and you get them everywhere.He actually left before ht 15.A Belle Vue fan we chatted to actually said the plank hardly ever goes and when he does he is always the same. Got to agree re all the Aces fans bar one were good fun,and you could chat with any of them.And are in the same opinion as me,anyone bar Poole. On the Etheridge,Jorgensen battle.Imo Jorgensen did ride him hard but fair but the red mist seemed to be building up in Etheridge's goggles and after the race the fracas didn't start at the pits,it started on the 3rd,4th bend where Etheridge seemed to approach Jorgensen and went shoulder to shoulder or as near as damn it.This is when things started to boil over imo.Gets people talking though doesn't it,think that benefits speedway in the long run a bit of argy bargy on the track/pits.

Yes,that is the terracing on the back straight.I would think that is where we will be standing,that is another 5 of us.

Will have to make sure we get a spot early then,thanks for the info.

Thankyou,how many can that hold?Might have to get in as soon as the gates open to mark my territory

Having just replied to pointsmeanplayoffs on the Kings Lynn thread,could any nice Belle Vue fans tell me about standing areas at the NSS.Having only been up for the World Cup final in 2016 there was obviously plenty of temporary seating there.I can't remember seeing any terracing on the bends,is there any standing on the bends or is it just the grandstand to sit or the South stand for standing.

Having only been up there for the World Cup a couple of years ago i am unsure of the areas of the stadium where you can stand.For the World Cup they had temporary seating on 3/4th bend.Obviously you have the grandstand and the South stand but am unsure whether you can actually stand on the bends.Can't remember seeing any terracing.If so i guess we would make our way to the South stand.

It is Etheridge who fills in at no7 according to both Aces and Stars websites.

Well we were thinking about.There's 5 of us going but one has to try and be back for work for around 2am,crazy .So we thought we would take this option thinking it may be a safer bet for getting back as early as possible. If we make the final then who knows.Hope you got plenty of interest for the coach.I think there are quite a few making there own way so hopefully there will be loads to cheer on the boys,and to give the Manchester boys some stick.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone,now all we want is good weather,a great meeting and a Stars victory of course

Sounds good,ideally though i want to get parked up early so we get a spot in the stadium or in the school.Then we would walk to wherever.Don't mind 10-15 minute stroll.Are you allowed to park in the cinema car park?

Looks good and cheap as well.But i can see this being packed next Monday surely?Incidentally how many does the suite hold?

Thanks for that,i will be coming which ever way the sat nav takes us.Think it will be Hyde Road.Think my mates might take the Hotel just for the beer i'm the driver.Mind you if we make the final,and that is a big if i will nominate one of my friends then to drive.

Five of us coming up Monday,but can anyone tell me if there are many places to eat near the stadium.Not fussed whether it's any takeaways or pubs to be honest.I normally come up the back wayto Manchester and stop off at one of the pubs on route,but would like to get there in plenty of time to get parked up this time around.

I think he does that to all.When i have caught him out on a few occasions he will never hold his hand up and say he was wrong.Most people will though.

Totally agree with you.I said the same a couple of weeks ago,it's not Poole or the riders it's just a couple on here that gets peoples heckles up all the time and they can't see outside the box.Like i said before this thread would have been up to page 50 by now if a certain poster wasn't banned.Says it all really.

I was thinking that.I can only see the average of Riss going down slightly,and with his and Jonas B's average very similar already it may make the difference of whether he could guest at Lynn or not.Having said that maybe Jonas B's average may go down too.

Totally agree,nobody at all are thinking this is a gimme.It just so happens that this tie is best suited for Lynn.I expect this semi to be close on aggregate over the 2 legs.And a possible nail biter right to the end of the 2nd leg.

I'm sure the King's Lynn v Aces or Aces v King's Lynn threads will soon be taken over and turned into a Poole thread anyway.Although the main instigator isn't on here for a while,deservedly so too

It would be even more fitting if we win it having topped the league and having never won the damn thing before Why hasn't this thread got to 50 pages yet,it's as if something is missing

Think he was running on pure adrenalin for the re-run of ht15 last night which got him through that.I'm sure he must have been feeling quite second hand after getting a bit of rest,which is normally the case.You body seems to stiffen up after something like that then rest.Lets hope he is just battered and bruised and nothing else,and a few more days rest and hopefully he will start to feel a bit better. Edit: Just seen that Robert actually took a third race in ht 13 after not riding in ht 11.So probably just a tactical switch as Robert wasn't scoring possibly down to him not actually being really fit enough to race.

What an earth is Rosco on about"football hooligans".Far from football hooligans,lots of verbals and shouting yes but to tar the fans as if they were football hooligans is so far from the truth.I quite like Rosco but coming out with stuff like that beggars belief.Take the defeat on the chin Rosco because comments like that sounds just like sour grapes to me.

Again this was a throw back to the good days.Aggro in the pits,the disgusting move by Batch,although i would rather not see that as a rider could have been seriously hurt.But this always gets the crowd going.I mean i heard a young lad turn around to his dad i assume and say now which one is Batchelor.All adds to the tension of a big ht 15 and everyone baying for Batchelor's blood
