Great Central Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Come on you Belle Vue supporters, now is the time to show your support for the Colts. Great weather, track should have been prepared well although with this sun, it is going to be hard to keep moisture in it, and two teams fighting to get into the Play Off finals to race against Stoke or Mildenhall. Let's show what support we can muster - there shouldn't be many from the opposition since they don't know who they are supporting!!! Sheffield, Scunthorpe or is it Scunfield??

montie Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'd be interested in your thoughts for the Scunfield line up tonight is this another 'one off'. You can't take anything away from the management but the question that needs to be asked is is it right? is the no. 8 slot there to be able to fieled a better rider at reserve or to give an inexperienced rider a chance at league racing. Ummmmm it is a poser  bit of both maybe??  there is the arguement also who is the better rider i guess??!  Hope the track is better than last time i was at BV,swore i would never return but the lure of the Mighty Saints as put paid to that  Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Central Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 i stand to be corrected,but,im sure there was stox @ kirky lane last sunday !!!! Indeed it was - F1 and F2 I think. Track was rock hard according to my information so not much damage done(hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Indeed it was - F1 and F2 I think. Track was rock hard according to my information so not much damage done(hopefully) Â I'm sure they still managed to gouge some holes in it. Hopefully with this decent weather last few days they been able to repair it. Like others said with this baking sun hard to get the moisture in but sun should be down by 7.00 so should be ok then hopefully. Â Hopefully Colts can get a decent lead to take to Sheffield. First year for the Colts in National League and make the playoffs first time but also there hasn't been any changes to the team, same 1-7 that started the season!

MrMungo Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'd be interested in your thoughts for the Scunfield line up tonight is this another 'one off'. You can't take anything away from the management but the question that needs to be asked is is it right? is the no. 8 slot there to be able to fieled a better rider at reserve or to give an inexperienced rider a chance at league racing. Ummmmm it is a poser Honestly? I'm probably not in the best position to comment as I don't know all of the facts. However, Benji Compton was signed as a replacement for John Oliver, aswell as to cover any of the PL riders' unavailability, I am guessing. During the season, there's been nearly someone riding elsewhere. On this occasion though, there's no other PL meetings scheduled, so Sheffield/Scunthorpe effectively had an 8 man team, so they had to leave someone out. I am assuming that NL line-ups need to be declared 3 days before the meeting, but I am not totally sure of that. Later it turns out that Benji Compton can't ride(for whatever reason), so they probably only had the choice of sticking Stefan Nielsen (who I assume is the inexperienced rider you are referring to) at number 8. Â Either way, I'm sure it will be a cracking meeting tonight. Hopefully there won't be as many falls as there were in March (and a narrow away win would be nice! ). I'll be looking forward to the return leg at Sheffield next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just noticed on BSPA website Scunfield team =48.38. All of them have lots of experience round Belle Vue , going to be lot tougher then first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well if I leave Owlerton next week and we aren't in the final it will be the biggest injustice in speedway - ever. If there are any Saints/Prowler fans who witnessed tonights action who think otherwise then there's something very wrong with you. Let's all hope for the right result next week, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Lmao so needing a Tactical ride to get a 5 point lead in the first leg is an injustice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMW Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Honestly? I'm probably not in the best position to comment as I don't know all of the facts.  Well at least you admit to talking complete drival.  Do you really think that Scunfield are going to plan a NLPOSF with half the team missing  Fair play to Worrall's, Birks and Wrathall.  I do object to a team having a 4.34 rider at No.8  Well if I leave Owlerton next week and we aren't in the final it will be the biggest injustice in speedway - ever. If there are any Saints/Prowler fans who witnessed tonights action who think otherwise then there's something very wrong with you. Let's all hope for the right result next week,  I wouldn't write the Colts off just yet they have had their backs against the wall before and come out smilling, particularly Mckinna adn Mason. Who ever performs next Thurs will be in the final. It's plain and simple and Justice will be served.

montie Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Â I do object to a team having a 4.34 rider at No.8 Â Â So you object to a rider increasing his starting average??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 All but one of the current Scunfield Prowling Saints have honed their Speedway skills at EWR - and three of the BV Colts... Â Rob Godfrey shows his system works and should be proud. All the time and effort that he and Richard Hollingsworth (and others) put into Speedway training is paying off... yet again.

TMW Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 So you object to a rider increasing his starting average??? Â Did I say that ? 'NO' Â Last night Nielson should have been at No.6 and Smethills at no. 2 as it happened they didnt need that facility but it doesn't make it right.
