Cracking meeting tonight. Some beltin' speedway on a well prepared track. Well done to Colin Meredith, the last 18 months have seen some big improvements and you starting to see a very consistent track. Dare I say it, but Kirky Lane, along with monmore, is probably the best track in the league. I've always maintained that the shape has nothing to do with the poor racing we used to put up with. It was always preparation. Think there are less stock cars as well, but well done Colin. Took 1 and 3 and that was a stupid decision. I actually think that's what cost us. Well done Swindon, thoroughly deserved

Phil. I think your underestimating stefan a bit there. I think he is one of the strongest home reserves in the league. I'm a little concerned about this

It's a joke. Would understand if he didn't fly today, but he's just pissed on his own bonfire doing that. It will also affect the crowd at BV.

Wolves V Belle Vue Aces (14th July 2014)
acef replied to stevebrum's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I am behind tai. It's common knowledge that Britains schedule is to demanding. Since Saturday night, (I was there and I'm knackered still), he has flown to Poland and back, is probably sitting at stansted airport as I type waiting for a flight to Sweden, and then back to the uk on Wednesday in manchester. Now he chooses to live that life, but I've had the feeling that he has wanted to drop the uk for a while now. The schedule is brutal, if the uk had one race night then either Monday or Wednesday would have been a day to recover. It isn't right that wolves fans should have to suffer it, but don't be at all suprised to see him drop the UK next year. To many british fans want to cry a river. Blame the bspa and those who run the sport in this country. Not tai woffinden, the man is probably shattered. I don't blame him for putting the country's that pay him more first, anybody would. -
S W C - Who Will Be Picked For Uk
acef replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I actually agree that stead is the best option, you have a team there that can ride bigger tracks and that's exactly what we needed. We should get to the play-off, at which point we can say goodnight. Seems Bridger is suggesting he may quit. -

Swedish Gp Malilla Saturday June 14th
acef replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
What a pussy cat pedersen is. Gives a hard man image, if I was Zagar I'd have put him on the ground there. Beltin GP. Had a fiver on Greg, but well done tai well deserved. -
Still one or two people doing nothing but moan about the quality of racing. Those people need to find a dark room, give there heads a wobble and knock on when your ready to come back to planet earth. I travel up and down the country watching speedway, live, trackside. I happen to live in manchester so support belle vue, and that was the best meeting I've watched in months. From leicster, to Sheffield, Birmingham, you name it. Some people need to drop their agendas, and I include some riders in particular one who was spouting off again tonight. A perfectly prepared track considering the weather. Congratulations to BV on presenting themselves the way they did. One of the best sky meetings this year.

Which Rider Is On The Best Value Average
acef replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think given the structure of the league this year, 2nd strings putting points on their average will much easier than a normal situation. I think a better way to judge the most improved will be head to head results. There are riders with proven el experience and for me they will be the ones most improved. So your proctors, skornikis etc should be putting a couple of points on their averages. The pl second strings, if you like, and there are quite a few, are unknown quantities for me. Palm toft to name one. Then there are riders like lambert as second strings, how will that fair? You just don't know. He has potential, but is essentially an nl standard rider until he proves otherwise, and that is the key for me. Those teams with the unknown, like kings Lynn, if those riders deliver then those teams will make the play offs without a doubt. Same applies for those foreign riders on a 4:00 average. Porsing milic etc. The most improved rider for me though, and it pains me because I wanted him at BV, will be garrity by a country mile. Best reserve by a long long way -
Elite League Pairs
acef replied to I HATE THE RAIN's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Good meeting and Poole deserved winners. I thought Rory made a mess of the first bend in the final, he gated on Ward but he didnt block the run left the door open. Also thought Bomber should have gone off 3, gate 1 wasnt working all night and Chris cant gate at the best of times. Off 1 he was so far behind he couldnt get out in the dirt which is where he wants to be. Rory wants to be their too but Chris is better at it. Well done Poole -

Just read that Hans crashed his van, didnt realise. I looked over at the pits and from what I could see he had only one bike, so that explains it. Doesnt explain his lack of form though, really out of sorts. Pants in his first 2, was so far behind I was scratching my eyes. Think he needs to re-group over the winter. He has a very handy average now, and I cant see him at BV next year tbh but someone will have the bargain of 2011 when they sign him. -

Chris Morton was there as well with one of his sidekicks. Good meeting, the way Chris was riding I couldnt see past him, but Freddie ridden a clever race in the final. I thought bomber had the legs on him but Freddie kept putting him in the wrong places. The semi final was a brilliant race and Holder coming off after one race right in front of us was a classic, not sure how scotty stayed on but they both went right down to the line. The Holder/Bjerre incident, from where we were standing it looked like Chris got it to me, but the ref makes the calls and he said Bjerre. Close run in the end but I thought Freddie deserved it after that ride in the final. -

So is bomber riding or not? Jacques, I have been to the showground before but that was many moons ago. Along with Wolves, probably the best track in the U.K so youre right there. Whats the format? is it gp style 20 heats semis and final? -

Despite a few people putting a dampner on it Im actually looking forward to this. Its still a decent line up, GP stndard almost. What is parking like? Weather forecast any good? -
Polish Play-off Semi-final 1st Leg 8th Sept
acef replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Hes been a yard of the pace all season, for most of that he hasnt really been fit. Thought again tonight he looked slow, he isnt gating at all but mostly has lost that ruthless streak he once had. It wasnt that long ago he was a 10 point rider, always there in the GPs but that is under threat now if he doesnt qualify, no certainty to get a seed either. Thought riding for BV would have helped his season, its one of his better tracks but its the other way unfortunately. -
Polish Play-off Semi-final 1st Leg 8th Sept
acef replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Janus has been flying all season. Dont know if hed want to ride over here but there will be a line of clubs waiting to sign him. Immense tonight. Good meeting as well, thought the track was slick but very fast and still some decent racing, personally Id have put Holder out in 15 instead of Andersen, other way round with hans in 14 if that was possible. -
Polish Play-off Semi-final 1st Leg 8th Sept
acef replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Im not sure that Ive got the proper video player for it. Ive gone through soccer live but its coming up with an error message in polish, and I havent a jar of glue what it means. Will try again. Picture from the link rr gave me is working ok though so can stick with that if I cant get the soccer live link working. Normally they put a sopcast link on there which works very well. -

-
sopcast 11028 doesnt seem to be streaming for me anyone else having problems
-
No streams up on soccer live or p2p. Does anyone have a direct sopcast channel number for canal+

Not a bad meeting that. Shame to see Hougarrd having such a rough time. Blew two chains last night and had a nasty looking tumble in his first race tonight. Overcooked again, he seems to be doing that a lot lately going too fast into the turn and leaving himself no choice but to hit the air fence. Walasek looked very decent until the fall, why doesnt he do that in the GPs? And Lee Richardson I stand corrected he actually passed tonight.
