Ipswich v Belle Vue 14/08

[Odds On]

Ipswich look a strong team, biggest worry for opposing teams right now is that they are winning, thats without Doyle and Emil being in dominant form.

 Can only see Sheffield beating them in the play offs but my money would be on Ipswich, of course there's a huge list of ifs buts and maybe's still.

Genuine question So what are Ipswich promotion doing that belle vue are not? 

Ipswich is certainly more of a community club. They get decent coverage on both local radio stations, Louis or Hawkins are normally on there at least once a week, also BBC Suffolk usually have a recap on the speedway during half time on their live ITFC match commentary.

Louis has also done well in not only keeping the locally based sponsors but attracting new ones this season. 
 

I think it also helps that Louis is local so understands the town & the Louis name is still well known. As a local lad Ipswich legend & his main income the guy is passionate eats & breaths speedway.

Above all he is very approachable.

If only we had more like him.

I think when you consider he knows a lot of the Grand Prix riders and tracks a lot he can see the good and bad of speedway and what not to do, he used to ride in Poland so understands their model, and he also runs the club very well… I haven’t really heard of many if any riders moaning about the club and how it’s run, it’s much the other way round and people really want to ride for the club and to be chosen. I think the fact the crowd is always good and probably the best attended in Britain it brings riders too. Ipswich has always been a town passionate for football and speedway and backs them very good… like Louis said, when the football team prospers so does the speedway.

Come back when you have actually won the league otherwise you are going to look rather silly 😜 

Your lack of comprehension and failure to grasp context is hilariously sad.

But BV are not pulling the crowds at home, why not ?

GP, deffo affected the crowd this year. most speedway fans dont have a pot to piss in so when it comes to paying £150 at start of season alot would have had to give up league racing, cowds have improved after the GP.

 

Was a fairly big crowd last night which was good to see, but it wasnt 3k, no chance, more 2k, maybe slightly more 

 

Belle vues last 2 meetings have drawn in big crowds and one of them was a TV meeting suprisingly 

[PhilTheAce]

regarding last night, was not a unsurprising result, blodorn rode better than his points suggested, can see hes struggling with confidence right now. zach struggled away again and ill let tate off cos that was a big off he had

 

we might look poor away and i think ipswich will be favs to make the final over us but i cant get that little devil on my shoulder off me that says this happens every year and yet me manage to pull it off as underdogs.

 

our worry is the play offs come to soon really because brady will rightfully be all in on the GPs

That can’t be real ….. the current world number 2 being overtaken by Emil and then the current world number 4 also being overtaken 

But your honour I was told Ipswich was a track you couldn’t pass on especially riders as good as Kurtz and Bewley 

I think you should take this video off because how can the Belle Vue fans stick to their agenda that every meeting should be at the NSS

There has even been a Sheffield fan complaining lol .. a track that has one line that even the home team don’t like lol 

not really a pass is it, bend 2 of lap 1 hahahahahaha

This is sadly true, each to their own as they say but having attended many sports ovet the years, Cricket, Ice Hockey, Rugby both codes, Football, Athletics, Basketball , Horse racing - i can honestly say speedway is still my favourite - the thrill of a great speedway race beats all of them!

Im with you i go to football etc but speedway has always been my favourite sport. Belle Vue lost a lot of fans with the closure of Hyde Road, a lot of fans didnt take to the dog track and just drifted away. The amount of people i speak to who say i used to go the speedway at Hyde Road and who didnt even know about the NSS is unreal. Also we didnt just lose a speedway stadium when the Belle Vue complex closed there was the fun fair, zoo, kings hall where all the top bands played, the ballroom, beer keller, the suites etc, i think thats where the sport lost a lot of fans.

In Prague under last years system Kurtz wouldn’t of qualified for semi final as he finished 9th on 7 points but did under this years system(10 qualifying) Kurtz is where he is on merit but was helped by the system change in Prague 

Last years system is irrelevant the new system was put into place so this season its all about the current rule, which is there for all.

Not really sure Manchester Storm Ice Hockey count... they're based in Altrincham.

Manchester United are based in Salford both only 10 mins from the city centre so dont think thats any issue

Did the administrators take the 'nd' off the end of your forum name? As you just seem to only have 2 answers "best track" and "won the league" in every discussion and you think other people are going to look silly. Perhaps a little quiet personal reflection time might help you!

Already taken 😂

I think @AceBelle has too many sherbets on match days the amount of dribble they write on here.

Stretford, actually. Comes under Trafford MBC.

I’d be happy if this was the play offs as we can pull back a 14 deficit within 9 heats. In every meeting at Foxhall this season we have suffered 5-1 in heat 13 & 15 which is unacceptable given our top two. In both fixtures we were in touching distance on a close defeat of small win as the rest of the side had done their thing. Harsh on Brady & Dan but everyone has a job to do in their particular slot. I’m confident that they will succeed in these heats come the play offs and help lead us to the ultimate prize once again. Whether they go on an unbeaten 29 ride run again like last year is debatable.
