To be fair the alternative is for to come out and say "we are utterly fooked, abandon ship, everyman for himself" but as you say bar losing Kurtz and Doyle to injury in the first four heats it should be a shoe in result.

You’d have to be a very unlucky team for that to happen. 😱

who cares, were in the final and your not

We’ve done better than most, if not all this year. 

The Craven is always very well attended along with our first home team meeting. We’ve made good use of the bank holidays this season which has helped offset the effect of having two expensive FIM events in town. Add in our play off participation and we are looking at around 24k-26k attendance over the season. I don’t see any team massively over or under that figure and to scoff at someone else attendance is as ridiculous as it is pointless.

Friday night is my playing football night and I won't be interrupting this for the 2nd leg, I hope its a good meeting what we really need is Sheffield to come out in heat 1 with a 5-1 which might just give the Aces the jitters and the Tigers a bit of confidence. 

Its bright and sunny on the right side of the Pennines 😉

I fully expect the Aces to win and claim the trophy however.

Except for supporting their team. 
 

Their attendances are crap generally. 

Akin to entering the Tallest Dwarf Competition....

A grippy track could give the Tigers an early opportunity to put a bit of pressure on..

Even Kurtz off gate four on a track that provides one fast inside line early in the meeting, can run a last when he has a GP rider off gate three who rides him wide on the first two bends..

A 1-5 in heat one, if the opponents have the best gates, isn't unknown at the NSS..

Hopefully it isn't a walkover and interest is maintained to much later in the meeting..

That's not how sport works.  Favorites yes, done and dusted NO.

It’s a shame the south stand never got finished which keeps the capacity low. It’s even more of a shame that when the owns took issue with the situation, the cartel seized the opportunity to oust them rather than back them. 

If you are referring to what happened in 2016, your comment suggests you don’t know the history or the truth.
