Belle Vue v Ipswich March 24th KOC
Rob B replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Kurtz, err last season strong all the way through and dominant in winning the play offs and qualifying for GP. Zischke is complete opposite of Wiltshire and it’s his gating that usually lets him down. Got to remember he coming back from an horrific injury last year, a lot of details been kept quiet. And although he says he forgotten about it now, I think surely it will still be in the back of his mind as doesn’t look as aggressive as last year but I think after few meetings the confidence will come back hopefully. -
Belle Vue v Ipswich March 24th KOC
Rob B replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The football probably had little to do with it, the fact a lot of locals have paid out lot on money on GP tickets this week would have been main factor plus doubled with it being on BSN a lot of people will have saved money and stayed at home. -
BIRMINGHAM v LEICESTER Mon 24th March KO Cup 1st Leg
Rob B replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
No, so surprised why he been getting so much hype as a signing, he been on a downward trend for quite a few years and after a year off it was always a risk. -

probably why they were losing so much money on it as they couldn’t get big crowd even at those prices. -
Grand Prix Ticket Sales
Rob B replied to Beercellar1966's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
For the last 9 years we have been wanting a GP at this wonderful racetrack, for this year our wishes were finally fulfilled. I was concerned when it was then announced there would be 2 nights, why do we need 2 nights, no other GP has had 2 nights not only will it make it more expensive for everyone (nearly double price) but anyone not local would need a (expensive hotel). The ticket prices have now been announced and I’m dismayed. Last year’s ticket prices for SoN were bad enough and showed by the empty extra grandstand, thought they would have learnt from that but no they made it even more expensive! One night price is expensive enough but for 2 nights there is little discount. It’s depressing. Will I be there, yes I will reluctantly pay it but I only live 5 minutes away. Thousands won’t be paying it now though. To make matters worst for Belle Vue this will affect crowds levels for the next few months as those local who do choose to pay it will pick and choose the league meetings they go to as can’t afford both. -
Some highlighted modifications : If any part of the dirt deflector system during racing or practice becomes displaced, detached or fails in any way so that the dirt 47 deflector is not fitted in a proper manner, the rider concerned will be immediately disqualified from the heat or practice run.

Additionally, a licenced Track Official must 64 have the sole responsibility to remove this device immediately after the start of the race.

Ignoring the fact Lidsey had higher away average then Ben Cook, and Zach had higher away average then both of them! Lidsey shown what he can do averaging 8.21 in the playoffs. Once Zach gets dialled in to NSS he will be fine.

Grand Prix Ticket Sales
Rob B replied to Beercellar1966's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
the seats will still be available whether they go on sale in October or January etc. Money better earning interest in your bank account rather then theirs. -

Happy with that top 4, best qualifiers for few years.

Read this driving down to Leicester yesterday, had a laugh as although thought we would do it on aggregate, thought no chance of winning on the night. But you were right.
-
I’ve been to Leicester about 12 times and it’s the same every time I been here. Yet when not here keep reading reports of great racing, think they telling porkies.

Morris messed up as should have been the final as should have been BV v Leicester semi.

Rob B replied to andout's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
It will be cheaper then SoN as a one night event. SoN was expensive to host for a week as they knew was going to be low crowds first 3 events and had to subsidise it. -

If you want to watch proper racing go to Belle Vue. If you want to sit in bar outside the stadium all day, go to Cardiff.- 136 replies
