problem is how deep are the customers pockets going to be next season.. 

The support seems to be there although would they wear a weak team two years in a row is a question.

for me Thomson was the most improved rider in both leagues this year. Iverson and Harrison both worth keeping the issue as ever is with the likes of Klindt and Lidsey, they can bang in double figures one week and be awful the next meeting so ideally they only want one of them back next year.

Then 2-3 new faces one of which needs to be a heavy hitting number one in the Doyle, Bewley mould if one can be tempted over.

Flagrag also mentioned well resourced people were interested last year maybe they will decide to step up in 2027 having seen support is there, the other issue seems to be the track which by all counts is a great shape but hasn't been condusive to brilliant racing.

Anyone seen the BBC report today 🤣🤣🤣

Could they get it more wrong, the only thing they got right was Belle Vue won 🤣🤣🤣

Somehow they managed to use the 2022 script, even down to saying that Belle Vue won 91-89 on aggregate despite losing to Sheffield on the day, to a backdrop with the score showing Belle Vue well in front.

What a great night, unbelievable, loved every minute of it. Sell out crowd, wonderful atmosphere in the South stand, great meeting presentation.  

What an amazing season for the Aces, the most dominant since Ipswich 98 id say.  A brilliant team full of average improvers.  Untouchable at home and excellent away.  Top of the league all season, then 4 out of 4 play off legs. 

A recored extending 15th top flight title.

54th top flight trophy.

Capped off with a full Peter Craven suite to welcome the Champions.  I can't even remember what tine i left, but I do know plenty of beer was drunk.

He can come up with several, problem is he’s one voice in a sea of many and he’ll probably end up drowning in said sea.

Sounds like Rob Lyon is a fan.
