This poster talking about the elephant is a Belle Vue fan who on pretty much every thread harps on about how tracks don’t provide good racing … apart from Belle Vue obviously The whole speedway forum knows Belle Vue has the best track and best racing and unless there is 20 overtakes a meeting every other track is poor You can get great racing at tracks inferior to Belle Vue there doesn’t have to be overtaking to provide a great race I may be wrong but I’m sure it will be to do with the racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle is a great team man who has won silverware for every team he's ever ridden for. After his 7 years at Sheffield he still has many friends and admirers and he'll be welcome here anytime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame he was the only rider who could be arsed to come round and acknowledge the crowd though... compare that with the BSN meeting at Worky yesterday where it was noticeable that after the majority of races the winner went round to accept the applause of the crowd, both home and away riders... it costs nothing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted Sunday at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:23 PM Think one problem with Sheffield is the limited viewing areas - most tracks there are fans dotted around the entire track to take applause from. That said it never used to bother riders in the past 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
