As a matter of interest what would BV fans estimate the attendance last night. Just curious as just watched Zach Cook's insta reel where it looks like big gaps in the stands?!

Incidentally Zach has increased his BV average by just under 0.5 a point, whereas his Poole average has increased by over 0.6.

BTW Happy Birthday today Zach.😀

good crowd last night, more people come over to south now because its cheper.

 

got to remember the grandstand holds 1800 people so even when there is 1000 people in there it looks half empty

Fricke with another brilliant showing, If only Howarth didn't have a shocker then the result could've been much different.

Leicester are a handful for anyone this season, Very good side.

If only Bewley was at his unbeatable best we would won by much more.  Result was never in danger.

Not so sure about that, you were only 4 up going into 14 and Howarth & Kemp were well capable of getting a 5-1 in 14 and it could have easily been level going into 15

Well looking at updates it looked like Howarth wasnt troubling the scorers much so dont see how a 5-1 was on the cards.

Howarth is a quality rider though and you wouldn't have been surprised if he'd popped out of the start and won his final race.

He has had a very good season but I doubt he was capable on last nights form.

He wasn't running bad lasts though and had a few good scraps with Zischke

Zishcke was on fire at Workington saturday so no surprise to get beaten by him.

Leicester are a good side and kept it close with Douglas and Howarth having below par nights, could even throw Masters in there as hes had good meetings round here, Lions are a problem for any side.

Leicester 6/1....

Worth a punt I think...

Yep... but to say the result was never in danger is a bit of a stretch, unless @SUPERACE meant the bonus point 🤔

With Douglas and Howarth both on it we would have been in more trouble, im sure you would be happy with this score in a play off semi.

Howarth rode is socks off, he just couldn't get in the right positions to pass, i wouldn't say he was slow neither.

Should see some races on TNT during their coverage of the Sheffield match.

From what I've seen of the coverage from Belle Vue, what is it with these extreme close ups they do of a rider on turn 4? And it's not just Belle Vue, BSN do it, TNT do it and they do it in the GP's! Arrrrrgh!
