I agree, but Poole team is stronger and if they all perform on the night will be very hard to beat.

Poole have the strongest 1-7 shown by current averages but as others have said some riders are underperforming. Poole 47.76 Belle Vue 43.52 Belle Vue top 6 matches Poole top 6, it's our weaker number 7 that makes the difference.

Hougaard riding for Leicester tonight.

5 out of 8 so far

So you say the track and racing was excellent but you won't be coming back because you couldn't bring in your dog, butties and air horn? Was the traffic Belle Vue's fault too? I know what my priorities are and its to watch good racing in a clean modern stadium rather then crap racing elsewhere where you can take in your butties. Regards the atmosphere, the NL is our junior team, there was probably only about 500 there, try coming on bank holiday Monday when there will probably be over 3000 there, we don't need air horns to make some noise. As for no 'Give us an A' it wasn't the Aces riding!

With Belle Vue likely to be in top 2 would have thought they will ride at home 2nd leg.

Hougaard didn't know yesterday that the meeting had been called off the morning before!

Do we know the playoff dates yet? I'm sure by this time last year they had all been announced for semi's and final. Fixtures seem to go up to 16th September, are play offs likely to start on 19th September?

Good post, I have posted similar in the past, lot of people think it's just a matter of throwing a bit of plastic sheeting down but it isn't. I have been to Vojens several times when they have used them before GP's/World Cup, it takes at least 5-6 men to remove each wet section, fold it and then a fork lift truck was needed to lift each folded section onto a trailer, Vojens had about 13 people doing couple if sections at a time.

Would have to fit them both in 3 hours as have to be finished for 3pm, council restriction with stock cars starting next door.

Doyle, Sedgeman, Nicholls and one other. Nicholls and Sedgeman turned up just before it was called off, not sure if Doyle made it or not?

It might have looked smooth from a distance but it wasn't! Every time somebody walked on it their feet sunk into it 1-2 inches!

Colin Meredith has retired, his son does it now. Was obvious when I arrived at 6.45 it was far too soft from the 8 hours of rain, should have bladed it at 4.30, would have given a couple of hours to attempt to sort it or call it off before turnstiles opened. Yes the vintage bikes looked OK on it but no offence to them they are only tootling around, modern speedway bikes would have had no chance.

And Tungate wouldnt be at reserve this time, in fact he not riding at all.

Max Fricke now withdrawn, R/R at 3.

Both teams at full strength for top of the table tie WOLVERHAMPTON: Fredrik Lindgren, Peter Karlsson, Sam Masters, Jacob Thorssell, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Max Clegg, Kyle Howarth. BELLE VUE: Matej Zagar, Steve Worrall, Max Fricke, Scott Nicholls, Craig Cook, Richie Worrall, Joe Jacobs.

Yes there has, Sky showed double header at Belle Vue couple of years ago.

12 September looks like it.

The council, parts of noise regulations.

Tickets were printed by BSI, pretty sure it's the same wording they use for Cardidf too.

Tai wouldnt have been allowed a TS if done a joker on programmed ride, Rosco played the tactics perfectly TS and joker at same time in place of a weaker rider on good gate.

Yes but there was loads of people saying it was crap shape, too fast, single line, etc. The fact was the rain yesterday made it too grippy which led to very fast times, tonight the times were 2-3 seconds slower and showed what a difference to the racing makes when the inside line isn't so grippy.

Those that were so critical of the track last night are very quiet tonight. Bwitcher is the track still too fast????

They putting some extra speakers up in front of East stand now I been told.
