Not if the same Poole team turn up as the one that didn't turn up on Saturday, Poole have had a great title winning run, so please have a little respect for all the neutrals who will be watching a final without Poole in it.

I'm going and taking my Granddaughter with me, it's our last chance to see the Aces this season, before a long uncertain winter. PS Rob I thought it was a 5 year game plan they had. ??????

finishing out of the top four is unfortunately, failure. Regardless of how many teams are contesting it.

Yes it would,and if Max had not been injured for the home match with Wolves, we would probably be talking now about who we will meet in the semi's. All if's and but's. Hopefully we can move on from this and have a more succesful season next year.

Wolves have hit a purple patch at the right time, still think Swindon will be crowned champs though.

Mark also has a budget which he has to stick to,do you know the budget ?? I don't. Maybe just maybe it didn't stretch to other riders demands.

I personally thought he looked over cautious, which is understanding concidering the awful injuries he suffered at the tail end of last season. Dan could be challenging Max for the No 1 berth next season.

I'd love to agree with you, but can't.

We haven't a cat in hells chance of getting any points at Swindon, 56-34 home win.

Kings Lynn was a fantastic track with plenty of passing and riders feeling good about attacking the track,from what I've seen on BT Sports that is no longer the case, and this has been backed up by other speedway fans. It doesn't need massive amounts spent on it, just a good track curator and a bit of backing from Busted.

Modern day British tracks for you, there is only 1 track at present that compares with Polish/Swedish tracks,Promoters need to man up and make their tracks racable.Riders want to have confidence to race, not concerned about not being able to turn their bikes or hitting a grippy patch in the middle of the bends.

Lambert, Riss Toft and Cook all capable of double figure scores at the NSS, we will have to have our gating boots on and be at our very best to stop Lynn taking 3 pts back to Norfolk.

We'll need it, having almost finished our home matches and dropping 4 points along the way, we need to take any luck that's going.

That's a hard one,would it offset the lost income from gate money, as IMO more fans would stay at home, especially early/late season when nights are darker and colder. Seeing R Lambert blast round the boards at the NSS could not be as exciting watching it at ones home on a TV screen, as it is live in the flesh. Also if we could get the atmosphere generated by visiting Polish fans,that would be lost on PPV

I'm sure you as well as many others remember how good TNA was, it could easily return to that status with some investment, here though lies the problem receipts from attendensies won't fund this and promoters won't unless crowds improve. vicious circle which I sincerely hope can be overcome somehow.

Excellent meeting, Poland are streets ahead at the moment, but I believe we can close the gap over the next 2-4 seasons. Polish fans were fantastic and made the atmosphere all the better. Wish we could have that every match.

away matches Ippo..................6 from 4 Stars.................2 from 3 P/Bourgh..........0 from 3 Poole.................4 from 4 Robins..............1 from 4 Wolves..............6 from 4 Thats 2 away matches where he scored more than his average, the rest he didn't. I wish Ricky well (no pun intended) but he didn't convince Belle Vue to keep him.

look, you made it out as if R Wells wasn't given a fair crack of the whip at Belle Vue, he had 13 matches most at home, to prove his place in the team, unfortunately all he did was lower his already low average. Ricky Wells knows he is better than what he showed us,but didn't show it. Changing him was the correct decision,actually it was probably 1 or 2 matches to late as we missed out on R Douglas.

You clearly have all the knowledge needed to manage a professional speedway team,I look forward to your views on how to get the best out of a poorly riding speedway rider.

that's fair enough then,i'll drive down from Manchester to see the next Poole match (not against Belle Vue) and save myself £3. surely that can only be for a valid reason, a curfew where there's no curfew is not a valid reason

Thats what I would of thought considering Richie's injuries, that would of meant a 5-0 to Belle Vue then. According to updates it was a 4-2 to Belle Vue.

honest question, was heat 8 rerun with 3 riders only.

Don't write Ippo off too soon. Belle Vue Aces = 47 1. Max Fricke -- 1,3,X,3,3 = 102. Dimitri Berge -- 0,1,1,2 = 43. Dan Bewley -- 0,0,0,3 = 34. Steve Worrall -- 3,3,3,0 = 95. Kenneth Bjerre -- 3,2,3,2',2' = 12+26. Ricky Wells -- 2,0,0 = 27. Jaimon Lidsey -- 0,2',3,0,2 = 7+1Ipswich Witches = 43 1. Richard Lawson -- 2',1',1',1 = 5+32. Danny King -- 3,2,2,2,0 = 93. Chris Harris -- 1',3,1,2 = 7+14. David Bellego -- 2,1,3,3,1 = 105. Krystian Pieszczek -- 1,2,1',0 = 4+16. Cameron Heeps -- 3,0,0,1' = 4+17. Jake Allen -- 1,0,2,1 = 4 I'd sooner watch this than a 62-28 borefest.

This time last season people were saying that about Poole, look what happened.

Belle Vue were 2nd best coming out of turn 2 lap1 in most of the heats, Poole have riders who love the NSS, give them an advantage and they will win most heats. That is exactly what happened. Poole were the better team on the night and deserved their win, Belle Vue were 2nd best on the night and did well to stop Poole getting 4 pts.
