SUPERACE

No Brady last time and r/r got 4.

I think the play off performances evidence that opinion, I also think Leicester's form started to drop a week or two before the play offs. Taking away any form I think these are two well matched teams and its all about the next 30 heats, as per the semi final id be very happy taking a 12 point lead into Thursday, 10 is par, 8 and below Leicester are favorite's.

Agree Phil, id take a boring dreadful 20 point win over a 48-42 classic.

To be fair there is already over 2k tickets sold so holding off to get everyone in won't make much difference as most buy online these days. The facts are as things stand the big rain today as so far not materialised. The Met office forecast still looks horrendous for tonight though.

Its a lot different to the Met office. currently dry in North Manchester

Belle Vue have Hospitality in the Craven suit, so a late call off is a nightmare, its not burgers and chips😂

Agree Rob, rained heavy all day yesterday. Raining now, and the weather forecast seems to get worse by the hour.

If it's NKI yes, anyone else then weaker.

Disagree, it's just not viable.

As Phil as said it won't be announced until official announcement comes out.

Nah r/r is just another option. It doesn't make sense not to have a rule to cover all riders with a guest. For top second strings r/r just doesn't cover it.

Yes Steve the rules have changed this year, last year you could get a guest for All Heat leaders and reserves but not second strings. You can now get a guest for any position, which is how it should be.

If NKI is guesting that's huge for the Aces.

Met office currently says dry from 10am. Also it will change a million times before Monday always does.

Really, your not a proper fan then.

Hey?? The Met Office has a bit of rain around 1am Monday Morning then it's bone dry.

This was funded as part of the Eastland project and funds from Man city owners ties to the City. It was always to drive sporting investment as well as low cost housing. The stadium was designed and is used as a multi use site, and MC Council want big international events in the city, but it is not tied to the Aces staying there.

Looks like now over 1000 tickets sold in the first hour.

Just got mine

High Sided, was mid track, no other rider involved, simply overtrying for me.

Wasn't the track, just unfortunate error form Ben, he was trying everything to pass.

This is brilliant news.

The concern for your boys is whether Ryan is fully fit, the infection was very nasty and it will won't be fully healed and very painful. There is every chance he wont practice and just try to ride through the pain. Even though it makes Leicester weaker without him I do hope he's fit to ride and race, we get a good guest, and 2 strong teams can race it out for the title. I have it as a 50/50 final, but I'm more optimistic than I was a week ago after our performance in the semi.

Fully agree on Ben, really hope its nothing serious and he's back fit and flying for March at least. Missing Ben in the final is a blow but hopefully we can get a good guest. His paid 11 was from 6 rides due to Dan crashing out after 1 heat, he got 6 from his programmed rides. Anyway Fingers crossed for some good news on Ben in the next few days, as long as his long term health is OK I will be happy.
