Brilliant match tonight ~ restores your faith in E.L. speedway. :lol: Well done to Bomber and Joonas for pulling it out of the bag in heat 15.

What a cracking meeting. Best for a long, long time at Brandon with a big crowd, lots of overtaking, tense scoreline, plenty of drama and a great atmosphere. Serve that up regularly and the crowds will come flocking back. Proper speedway returns to Brandon. A top night's entertainment.

Great meeting, probably the most compelling of the season for me. Some great racing between 2 good teams and I wouldn't have begrudged the Aces a draw for their efforts.

 

No idea why Garrity was excluded from heat 12? Looked nowhere near Worrall from where I was on the backstraight. Worrall just succumbed to the pressure. And a race winning time for an awarded race, what's that all about?! Ridiculous. Having said that, I thought there were grounds to exclude Garrity from heat 13, maybe the referee felt an even up call was needed in light of heat 12?

 

A typical Zagar masterclass for most of the meeting. Couldn't understand the gate staff and crowd shouting at him to stay on track after the heat 15 false start though? There's no rule about that is there? As long as the 2 minutes goes straight on and he's at the tapes by then, surely he's entitled to head off track? Stupid of Zagar to react to the crowd after the race though, a rider of his class should rise above some crowd heckling and not be gesturing to the crowd in the way he was. Deserves a fine in my opinion, much of a fan of his as I am.

 

Great guests for both teams tonight, the Andersen situation needs sorting though.

We said the same coming out. There was a bit of everything tonight. Two strong teams with riders showing commitment. Seemed more atmosphere tonight as well.

It's a shame sky are never present for meetings like this.

Let's hope both teams can make the play offs 👍🏻

 

With regards to your post JamieE, I may be wrong but didn't a rule come in that gates are to stay closed and riders to return to the tapes in a restart. If the rider leaves the track they are excluded?

"Wow! Garrity under Nicholls off bend 2 with a big Elbow and Nicholls goes down, Race not stopped result stands, Garrity and Nicholls going at each other in pits, Manchester fans not been this upset since Curly Watts left Corrie."

No worse than Josh trying to fence King, lucky he didn't get hurt

 

"Comments: Josh with a far far worse move on king and Attempted on Joonas then Garrity but Bee's boys didn't throw it on the floor like Belle Vue"

 

Caught up with silverbee's updates. Brilliant 😂

I know people don't like comparisons between speedway and other sports, especially football, but if a footballer had made those gestures to the crowd, I think he'd be looking at more than a fine.

 

I would hope the incident was seen by the referee as I believe that he should be charged by the SCB for bringing the sport into disrepute.

Garrity is the dirtiest little git outside Nicki Pedersen, and one day if he doesn't watch his step somebody will put him through the fence and he'l come out through the Chicken wire as chips.

Difference being, Garrity does it on a regular basis, Josh is not a dirty rider, Garrity is, and one day it will come back and bite him on the backside.

But I bet there was not a single Belle Vue supporter on the terraces tonight who didn't wish he was wearing the Ace of Clubs on his chest.

Really, why don't you ask them. I doubt very much you'l get a positive reaction. He's improved a ton since i first saw him ride in the NDL at Poole, and he had plenty of potential then, but unless he curbs he brash dangerous riding in time he will come unstuck.

You can knock riders like Garrity and Nicki all you like, but they are box office. Perhaps if there were more riders like them, the sport would not be playing to practically empty stadiums week in and out.

 

The Bees fans love Garrity because he's an all action rider who gives his all in every race. He's great with the fans too. One of the most popular riders who has worn the Fighting Bee for years. He was getting stick tonight off the Belle Vue fans because they are still sore we were able to swipe him from under their noses on the ftr list at the start of last season.

 

If he rode for Poole, you'd love him too.

Blah Blah Blah

We all know you dislike Garrity (and most things Coventry) so he can never do any right in your eyes.

The lads talented and had a great meeting tonight. Amazing with the fans And a great team man in the pits as well.

If Nicki Pedersen rode for us id give him 3 weeks and Poole fans would love him, Garrity, no. The fighting bee, don't you think Garrity is taking that to much to heart ?

Garrity is a decent enough rider but box office ?......bloody hell ...standards must have dropped at a rate of knots !

 

Who's Andersen going to blame for this...his last run of low scores were all the fault of his engine tuner not doing his job properly....so he says.....what's he supposed to do when that happens..so he says.......but it's all sorted now......so he says !
