The Aces take on my favourites to once again be the best team in the land and top the table as they have made a habit of lately. Lots of question marks with The Aces. Will Tate finally get going as we know he can? Will Will be the star fans expect? Will Norick get back on track and move forward after stalling for a season or two? Will Peter turn the clock back if only a bit? He is the most problematic signing for me and not very “Belle Vue”. Once Bangs went beyond our budget maybe potentials were scarce. I could see The Aces breaking the mould and look to team changes mid season with this team place but I hope I’m wrong. We are dropping over 2.50 points in this position but that is countered with the limit dropping by 3.00 for all.  As with any team if some or all come good then we are sorted but if not I still expect to meet the tigers in the PO final where anything can happen.  Tonight 47-43 and another NSS last heat decider. 

I hope to get there this season and in reality as a new venture being competitve at home is key for them. Its nice to see the plans at least getting put in place.

Hi guys, the link to this weeks meeting for the online stream should be up later today.

When I have days like yesterday I truly believe there is no hope for this sport to continue in any kind of professional way. Self interest rules and is displayed on here every other post and the fact it’s fans now running the sport, I can’t see that changing. The kick back when a team dragged in someone from outside the sport to ensure the rule book was applied fairly and as it had been earlier in that  season was deafening. The rule was only broken in the first place by a top table promoter trying to gain an advantage with the backing of many. Self interest and rule breaking is hated unless it gives their team an advantage and then it’s ok, so the bigwigs think they can get away with it as they have the backing of the masses. These same masses then question way the sport is in a bad way. Unbelievable.  People want an independent body as long as it’s their independent body that will bend to their will. Anyone else in that role is seen as the enemy without foundation. 

Not sure what anyone else expects other than to be competing in the bottom two, late to the tapes so to speak, all done last minute, the track isn't complete, no real home advantage once tapes do go up, Northampton is very much up against it before a green light goes on but, if they can offer entertainment, can get the name out there, and survive into 2027 who knows... I'll certainly try and make one night this season and take my old man, but really do hope it works out for them, hopefully win a few meetings if they do then congratulations to them as its literally backs to the walls stuff already
