Col Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Kurtz & Blödorn are set to return but with Kurtz, Bewley, Cook, Blödorn, Brennan & Musielak all likely to be in action on the continent over the weekend and a fair compliment of Championship fixtures at the weekend we have to hope all come through unscathed. Assuming they do I would think Belle Vue will win quite comfortably (52-38) while Hellström Bängs showed a liking for the NSS at the SoN (as Sweden's last man riding) but it's been a few years (2021?). Nicholls & Lawson rarely score well at NSS, Musielak had improved on his last visit with Sheffield but don't remember him doing much for Brummies last season. Imagine it will be down to Brennan for Ipswich to take a point off the World #2 & #3. A little rain is forecast at the moment but should be fine.

Aries Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Expect we’ll get dry humped here 🙈 Not going to be a good track for us this one and neither will Sheffield. Poor old Scotty will be like a sitting duck and I’d be surprised is he scores a single point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty never gives up on chasing the pack and his knowledge in the pits will give added value to those with less experience. I hope you are wrong for this stalwart of British Speedway who never knows when he is beaten. That aside does it really matter who comes out on top as long as the sport survives and punters enjoy the evenings racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s publicly admitted on TNT that if the British final had been held anywhere other than the NSS, he’d have given it another bash to add to his seven titles but concedes that he just doesn’t have the pace anymore to compete there. I hope I’m wrong too obviously. He’ll give it his best no doubt about it but expectations should be low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes of course it does, it’s competitive sport and fans of both clubs will want their team to win, naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are honest... It's not really is it?... More like "Sports Entertainment"... Which can still be a decent night out.. As for Scott? A fantastic rider and career, and also very good in front of a camera.. Hope he enjoys, safely, what (maybe} his last season.. He owes the sport nothing...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago If the Witches score begins with a 4 then they will have performed a miracle I'm expecting a 16-20 Aces win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bona fide sporting contest, because, simply, clearly, it cannot be using the operating model.. However, collude with the promoters that it has some relevance and prestige, and enjoy... As I say, it can still be a cracking night out, watching the racing... Edited 5 hours ago by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think it predetermined that Bewley would chase Douglas for 3.7 laps in heat 15 on Easter Monday before passing him. Bewley certainly looked overjoyed, Douglas looked gutted. Don't think that was our on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
