Terrific speedway meeting. When it's done properly it really is an excellent sport. Passing in every race and not a single bit of dust. It must be a joy to ride but a nightmare at the same time because defending a lead when the track is riding like it did yesterday is next to impossible. I'd say of the 15 races only 2 were won from the tapes. I'm naturally biased as a BV fan but this place really is a diamond in what is a rapidly declining sport in the UK. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent facilities. Excellent racing. If every track did it like this the sport would be booming here.

The man is an absolute tool. Did he expect we'd just turn up and say thats okay? The sooner he f=-=s off out if thus sport the better it will be for everyone

Bewley BTW was excellent. Much more aggression from the tapes. Pulled a blinder keeping that kid at reserve.

That has gone unnoticed but not by me. Dirty move that. Totally unlike josh.

Very poor from Poole. We were carrying tungate. Opportunity missed. But I'll hold my hands up regardless, I was wrong. Not the best meeting by NSS standards but a good meeting for most other tracks. Track was riding slick and the 2nd half of the meeting was more like the usual fair. Good win.

An absolute legend. Period. RIP Ivan, forever missed, but never forgotten.

Yes that was weird that. I was in a boozer 4 miles away and it was bone dry.

Not a great deal of difference I don't think, between him and Jye. I'm surprised it's not Jack Smith. We are usually loyal like that. Danny is a much better rider.

Against regular opponents I agree he'd be an excellent choice. Going up against these Poole riders will be entirely different. Like I said I'm not winding up. I'll pop on here tomorrow when I'm back from the meeting, I'll have my last dollar that you'll beat us by double figures.

I very rarely post on here, I can assure you I'm not winding anybody up. I have far better things to do with my time. That is of course assuming you included me in the wind up bracket. Poole are an excellent team who will breeze through the league this year. I'd be taking that as a compliment, certainly from my point view, rather than someone on a wind up. You'll comfortably beat one of the stronger teams in the division tomorrow such is the gulf in class. This Poole team would fair pretty well in the extraliga

Fricke aside, absolutely. Something the usual Poole trolls are deliberately failing to acknowledge just incase the unthinkable happens. Belle Vue will be in the play offs and that's all that matters. I've already chalked this one off.

You have a team of predominantly continental riders who are very familiar with tracks just like the NSS. You will coast it and well you know.

This will be a comfortable away win. Poole are by far the strongest team and will absolutely love the NSS. Not a home meeting I'm expecting anything from. There will be far easier meetings for us and at the end of the day it's all about the play offs.

I see Jacobs has called it a day.

He's as good as the rest apart from Doyle but that doesn't make him a genuine number 1. He's never ridden that position before. Sane as the others. He will be fine based on the fact he is of a similar ability if not marginally better. I agree many teams are lacking that old money number 1.

Also you won't see anything official from Belle Vue for a while. I think Adrian is on holiday and mark is in Australia. Nobody really available to update the social channels. Which imo is poor. Even without a tv deal this team would still be economical enough.

We are much stronger at reserve. The team lacks a genuine number 1 but there is solidarity in that top 5. Like I said above, we will likely win all of our home meetings.

Etheridge will travel better than Joe. It's a shame a Brit misses out but Jay, imo, is the better rider. We will be strong at the NSS. I'd imagine Drozdz will get along well with the place. Very similar to his Polish track.

Unofficially, yes ;-)

Etheridge will be fine. I think it's marginally weaker than last year but then so is the league. The main point though is the cost of it and it's clearly not the most expensive so the club will continue. They are thinking like proper owners should and not breaking the business. A new pole will hopefully help crowds there is a big polish community in Manchester.

Cook Fricke Tungate Drozdz Worrall Bewley Etheridge That's the team.

It doesn't no, and they also run occasionally on a Friday. We will still need to broker a deal with them though. Work alongside not against.

So the question to be asked is why have they chosen to go toe to toe with Denmark?
