Knew you was jealous of the aces but to be that bitter to wish that. Wow. The point was about the famous injury curse which Ouch always refers to. Every team get injuries. I am sorry if it sounded like I wanted a rider injured, that is definitely not the case. I don't any rider injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see this individuals vile outbursts but having it brought to my attention I have to say it’s particularly bad and worse than those post that prompted me to ignore them in the first place. Two points we’d like to clarify, is there any particular member of The Aces 1-7 that you would find an injury more humours and would the severity of the injury increase your laughter? As one old time ex rider put it, “is this the kind of crap you get on social media?” I do not want any rider injured. It is a great shame Dan has been out so long, I love watching him ride and hope he is back for the forthcoming world cup. The point I was trying to make was about the injury curse you often refer to.

I don't think your post came across as snything more that taking the pee out of the usual "Belle Vue Play Off Curse" comment that seems to get mentioned time and again.. I took it that way anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it that way anyway... Do you mean this injury curse? 2018 Craig (2) 2021 Brady (1) 2022 Max (5) 2023 Charles (9) 2024 Ben (0) (Number of days before the playoffs that the injury occurred) Before last season, it had happened in 5 of the previous 6 seasons. All teams suffer injury throughout the seasons but no team has had a consistent streak of injuries on the eve of the playoffs, though I’m happy to be proved wrong by a similar list from other teams. If our situation is the norm then I apologies for my misinterpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Ouch is right though. Our injury curse was rotten for years come play offs. That cut be denied. But its part and parcel of the sport. We got lucky recently with sheffield Injuries. That the rough with the smooth so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago My lads Sunday league team had a similar "curse" last season.. They ended up just second in the league because of it... But did, thankfully, win two cups... The "curse" has now been officially recognised as being "The Curse of Deansgate" A popular street, which is full of bars in Manchester... Some Sundays we were down to a bare eleven as "The Curse" struck... It struck usually around 9am when all the lads who had been out till 5am in the morning cried off on the WhatsApp group.. On the WhatsApp group it got very personal with the lads who went out each week, but still turned up, even questioning the sexuality of those who didn't make it... I showed the comments to an ex player of the team, and he said he was glad he had no idea what WhatsApp was, but added, he would have gone out and just arrived at the game from the boozer in his day... The fans of the club were devastated by last season runners up spot with literally dozens of people effected, particularly as the prize giving at the Town Hall includes a buffet .. Let's hope "The Curse" doesn't hit this season.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great shame Dan is not riding, I love watching him ride and he is great to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to Ulrich I'm not sure those two absences can be compared and in essence his absence unlimately made P'boro stronger IMO.

And the way the sport is set up in the UK, with the RR and Guest system, it reduces the impact of injuries significantly, even to the point of actually improving the team!!.. Injuries, and good and bad luck, are part and parcel of all sports... S*it happens... There's hardly any major prize at stake, with each season pretty much rinse and repeat from that perspective, so I am sure fans of clubs suffering some "bad luck" will find a way to get over it without too much trauma..😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they lost Hans in the first leg with ahead injury so was not allowed to take part in the return leg. Sadly Peterborough is another great track that has been lost.
