You'd rather watch Kurtz ride the NSS than Bewley... go see a shrink! No finer sight in the sport than Bewley throttle jockeying the NSS... (Sorry Ipswich fans). Plus he's more likely to miss the gate than Kurtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'd rather watch Kurtz at Belle Vue, less said about his away 'efforts' the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady was less than a point better away than Jaimon but that’s more a reflection on Jaimon being one of the better away riders than Brady being particularly poor.

But if Aces can keep both they surely will. Absolutely no point in preserving with Zischke for a year if they are to abandon him now when he's on a 3.00 reason, but h's on a 3.00 average for a reason because the reserves were what let Belle Vue down. Would have to look at the RS list when it's published to see if there is anyone preferable to Mulford. Cairns didn't really impress in his only NSS Premiership outing. Would only consider Lidsey if Kurtz/Bewley spearhead isn't possible. Average wise there’s only Gilkes and Edwards better than Jake for next season I’d stick with Tate on a 3. We need to focus on our dreadful away form as we only won 4. We need to match the top two in the league who were excellent with 5 wins each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure one day you will actually work out how the sport goes with regards to home and away matches You won away at Kings Lynn, Oxford twice and Birmingham … in a 7 team league they were the 3 weakest You have built a team that can’t ride at a track like Ipswich or Leicester ….. certain riders go better at certain tracks Your 1-7 is better than Kings Lynn … but none of your team can ride Foxhall where as riders like Kvech Klindt Harris and Lawson go well there As an Ipswich fan I’d have much rather faced a team of riders that can’t ride Foxhall then a team that can Come to us next season with the same 1-7 and you have no chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as injuries etc. Hopefully one day you’ll work out that you can’t predict results more than 6 months in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces only lost the fixture I went to see at Beaumont Park by 2 points due to an incredible ride by Fricke to split Kurtz & Bewley (after being passed Kurtz fell to give a further point away).

szkocjasid Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 (edited) I've never really rated Blodorn, feel his progress slowed when he was no longer at reserve. However, I now feel he's good value on his average & is worth a team spot (such is Speedway). Also feel makes sense to bring Zischke back, seems counter productive to keep a struggling reserve all year, unless you expect to benefit the following season? If the rules allowed, I'd bring back both Bewley & Kurtz. Also think Mulford will be one of the better "rising stars" with Flint & Jenkins graduating from the scheme. I'd definitely stick with him.

Couldn't even do a job @ No.2 this season in all fairness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be a far better signing for Belle Vue than anyone else IMO. Having watched a fair bit of PHB the last couple of years as well, he’d be a huge home favourite very quickly. Track is tailor made for him. Keeping the best top two in the league as well and you’d outgun everyone else in 13 and 15. If that is the team, I think we’d see @AceBellerise from the dead very quickly on here… 😉 Edited 52 minutes ago by Aries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
