Much closer than recent weeks, but the Aces should still have enough to win comfortably. Looking forward to the races involving Fricke, Kvech, Kurtz and Doyle (not forgetting Bomber!)
Aces 53-37
I agree. He seems to be someone who has a long term plan (not heard that in speedway before!) and has definite ideas how the sport should be run. Can only be good for the sport in general if he can deliver.
Wonder what the other promoters think of him?
I think the Witches will have too much for the Aces, but not quite enough for the bonus point.
The key, as always with Belle Vue is if Kildemand, Blodorn and maybe Zischke can score enough to support Kurtz. Just seen that Chris Harris replaces Doyle, so that makes it even more unlikely that the Aces will prevail.
50-40 Witches.
Some good racing tonight despite the scoreline. Doyle was superb in his first ride with Will Cairns and was a class act all night. Kildemand, Blodorn and Zischke will all feel more confident after scoring well.
I'm sure Belle Vue would have lost money though - a very poor attendance and lots of points money to pay out.
Hopefully the great racing last weekend might whet the appetite of 'lost fans' who used to go to the sport years ago and might be tempted back.
I paid for my GP tickets when they came out a few months ago, so the financial 'pain' was a while ago.
Would have thought that there might be a few more there tomorrow to see Doyle's debut though. Early days, I guess, but there shouldn't be any weather issues, so I'd have been hopeful of a good crowd.

Looking forward to going to this and seeing Doyle's debut. Ticket sales didn't look promising on the website earlier though.
With Kildermand and Blodorn back in the team I can only see a comfortable home win for the Aces, but it will actually be nice to see the team without guests.
52-38
I wish him well. Not my favourite rider, but you know what you are getting with him.
At least it's back to a full team again with Kildemand and Blodorn back
Surely Harry Redknapp with his West Ham connections could have a word?
Maybe also get the Hearns involved to give it the publicity it needs.
Definitely worth exploring, but as an addition to the Manchester weekend rather than instead of.
