ouch

I don't get the Wolves thing as aside from the Leicester away A fixture they've not convinced me. They won at Somerset but it wasn't really wolves and then had gifts against weakened teams in their other victories. They do however have a fabulous home track advantage that can be improved upon with track prep. Swindon haven't been tested until last night and I think there are in for a wake up call come the play offs even against Poole. Can't discount Poole as Fords overzealous approach to winning sees the boundaries of sportsmanship pushed to the limit. A fully fit Aces team should have the beating of anyone but track prep at The NSS will decide things. If it's a cracking race track then game over for the visitors. Gate & go and it will play right into the oppositions hands.

Nothing. I could as the same question of you.

Max is only missing due to injury.

True. I think he sees the bigger picture rather than just personal gain. Top bloke.

Do people really have to make a judgment call on spending £2 odd a week reading about the sport they love/like?

As far as I know Craig was happy to let it go. Fair play to him in this current claim culture. Top bloke.

It seems to me that more riders get injured abroad. Is there a stato with the ratio of injuries per meeting in each countries top league? When riders express their views for not liking this or that i take it with a pinch of salt. If we added a nought to their pay their viewpoint would change on the spot.

For free, even if he came off and wrecked it?

If I had the choice I wouldn't ride at wolves either.

I'm sticking with keep out of it BSPA. It's not worth the hassle as we've already qualified. Sorry Charles and just down the road as well.

Agreed. Don't the BSPA know what they are doing? Keep out of it!

Bewley and Smith were available to ride for The Colts at Birmingham once Poole was called off. Brummies subsequently got rained off but I think it can and should be allowed. The only times there's an issue is if a guest has been booked and it's unfair on them to ditch them at the last minute. I remember Sam Masters enjoying a free meal at NSS whilst watching his guest replacement.

Don't forget the smiley when discussing injury hit teams.

Two blew up on Friday and he was on his brothers today. P.S Looks like Bewley & Shuttleworth are the latest victims.

Agreed, with no home advantage. We'll just have to hope Kenneth sorts his motors, maybe bring his European kit over. I think having Max back in the team will also help.

Had the Lions meeting been the second leg of a two way tie we would have won the tie, same with the Pirates & Wolves meetings today. FYI, the cup meetings are run over two legs.

Belle Vue had a back up for tonight. Professional approach. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

So looking good then.

I still think we'll qualify. Just my opinion though.

Another aggregate win to add to our impressive total, bodes well for the upcoming cup meetings.

Hi Fred.

Decent backs to the wall show from The Aces who just missed out on a point in the last heat. Tbh I thought this would have been over far earlier with Ken & Max's rides netting only 6 points. Poole can only beat what's put in front of them I guess. Another aggregate win to add to our impressive total, so it bodes well for the forthcoming cup ties.

I've pm'd you.

Bit of an own goal there mate.

Aces picked their worst day of the year to leave their gating gloves at home. Just glad it doesn't matter. Phew!
