ouch

The unlucky Aces really missed their Cumbrian duo points scoring but should our luck change and we get past Wolves then a full team should have no worries in the final. I'm gonna pray we have no luck then it's game on.

The thing that's coming over loud and clear is that play off matches see riders giving 100%. I cannot argue with that after witnessing my first ever play off at the NSS last year. It was one of my most enjoyable nights of speedway in nearly half a century of watching the sport. The flip side is that other meetings are run with riders not giving their all, I can't argue with that either and this is the problem. Years ago many teams knew from day one that they weren't going to top the table but the pecking order especially with local rivals was still a focus. Riders wanted to perform for THEIR club no matter what and fans wanted to watch them. Your place in the table was as important at the last meeting as it was for the first. Now you either qualify or you don't. Fans now have a mental benchmark for what is "good" speedway, speedway worth going out for. The inevitable consequence of this is they can feel (most) other meetings just aren't worth the bother. The question is does the extra? attendance immediately before and during play offs make up for the rest of the year?

Robins 52 Aces 38 😞

Looks like a no mate. I'd have been interested in an answer.

Yes, but that's not the point. If I nicked your car I'm guessing you wouldn't be bothered as long as eventually I was to give it back anyway?

Game over man!

Please post a link for us to read re Sir Richard Leese, otherwise stop posting bulls droppings. Where's my heather?

Red, green & blue?

How much of the 10% do you get? Lol Other sports to consider, dog fighting, chasing the pig or time trial - removing the wheels from the Fiesta. Whilst you're on, I'm getting short of clothes pegs and heather wrapped in foil at the stem, can you send me some more?

Having Dan back fit is a big bonus for us as I reckon he will have seven rides once Jack withdrawals with machine problems. Doing a Nathan I believe it's called.

22/9/17 for the Aces home leg. With a fair wind there will be finals for PL and NL play off and KO cups. I think we will be running up the last day of the season.

7 blocked members out of the last 17 posts. I'm guessing it's a informative and good natured debate on the merits of the double header?

Same here, and you've just quoted Steve so I've seen it. Is it possible to block posts even when quoted?

Is the anywhere to watch the BT sport coverage on the 18th down there? Me and Dad are nearby and we'd like to see the action if possible, so any advice would be most appreciated.

Are you a rapper?

It must be a Wolves thing. Make a perfectly reasonable remark then get an in your face argumentative response. To make it worse the response is factually incorrect. I wonder if Kelvin will put Adams on ignore?

The Colts would have been forced to use four riders only at Cradley recently but we had a stand by rider in attendance.

Poole have signed him for 2018 and will operate R/R in his place.

That seals it. In the box you go.

It was definitely 100% you that brought up the rent. Chapmans involvement goes way beyond that, which if you're going to post such opinions you should know more about. My information came from The Aces management team, the last being from a dejected Mort earlier this year, riders and sponsors. Knowing the truth makes it harder to stomach when ill informed posts appear just looking for a reaction.

Ouch!

It's included in your season ticket.

Was Greaves injured? The updates site said bike problems but I wouldn't have thought Riss could take his rides just because he had a dodgy bike.

Monmore does have the unfortunate knack of playing into the hands of its critics.

I think Newman will line up for the pirates during the play offs.
