Absolutely. KK had couple of bad meetings but quite often scored double figures. Zagar has had lot of poor meetings and quite often doesn't score double figures.

Was you there? If you were you would have seen that although Nielsen had scored 2 at that point he wasn't riding too bad as winning Heat 12 proved! It was a close call and not an obvious one

First metal work for grandstand went up yesterday : http://bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1380

A disappointing result in the the end, before the meeting would have been very happy with that result and predicted we would just get a point, but with Zagar scoring a disgraceful 2 again should have been a comfortable away victory.

Last weeks programme said handover February 2016

I didn't think track was too bad, seen it far worst at Poole.

And we were weakened too having Richie Worrall in only scoring 2 points! Two engine failures in heat 12 & 13 cost us the win.

Rain in the morning but dry and sunny from 2pm onwards.

Clouding over here now, looking at radar could be band of rain coming in about 7.30-8.00

Nah going to be fine most of the day, small chance of shower late afternoon/early evening

Yes this new points system is ridiculous. I liked the old bonus point for winning on aggregate, That made home teams need to win by as many as possible and away teams wanting to keep it close even if 20 points down, always something to ride for.

First of all was the stand at Newport actually ever finished? Everytime I went it still looked like a building site. We are talking a bit more professional here then a few concrete steps with some seats bolted on them with a dark and dingy bar and toilets underneath. They haven't updated for about 2 weeks but latest photos here : http://www.bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1338 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.800845563322698.1073741831.129552893785305&type=3

Well they are coming to Belle Vue 3 times in the next couple of months.

Apparently it's Robert Lambert

Thought Poland ride on Easter Monday?

I've read they've started laying track and making it wider, any photos yet? Are they bringing inside line in?

One thing for sure, if it does go ahead tomorrow it shouldn't be dusty.

Short bit on Granada tonight : http://youtu.be/O0eJ7cg9zNU

Belle Vue signed Simon Stead

I presume you have only seen the 3D computer generated photos? There are detailed designs available here : http://www.publicaccess.manchester.gov.uk/associateddocs/MCCList1.aspx?106133%2FFO%2F2014%2FN2 The track was the first thing to be designed by Chris Morton, it was the most important thing, Everything else was designed to fit around it. In fact when the plans had to be changed earlier this year due to a dispute over land the track stayed the same but they have had to remove terracing from the apex of the bends to still fit it in. He has never said it will be close to Hyde Road, that would be too difficult to do. There are elements from Hyde Road like the width and the straights will have a slight kink in them like Hyde Road did. It will more like a wider Bydgoszcz.

Scott Nicholls signs on 2 year contract.

No, all that been done is a small tarmac car park to put a portacabin on. Hockey still playing there so nothing else going to happen yet.

Good news about both teams running, but running on alternative weeks is going to be a pain, if a meeting gets rained off that team won't race for 4 weeks and then rearranging it will be tough.

2 meetings I heard
