SUPERACE Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I wouldn't bother looking at the weather forecast until Monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Pity because that is the only fair way. May the best team win Fair for both teams though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think this is true. In fact, I think that not only could Belle vue win this tie but they could even win the title.I remember going to Coventry v Swindon, and coming away on such a high. I actually thought to myself that Swindon were going to win the title - and I never think that!To have the rug so cruelly taken out from under our feet just after was a real blow. Life always comes and trips you up when you least expect it!In the circumstances, I think we brought in the best replacement we could. But Peter riding as a second string throws the side out of balance, and Darcy's injury seems to have affected the form of the side - and Nick Morris in particular.We have two sides here looking to win and see out the time at their stadium in a big way. As you say, the momentum seems to be with Belle Vue, but if Swindon can all click then there's no reason why we can't still do it.MNormally agree with you Grach, but the Aces to win the title? No chance whatsoever. As I've always said, the Pirates are far too strong for any side over two legs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPete Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) The problem is, you're comparing a match that didn't matter, to a match that definitely would matter,if it ever happens!

mdmc82 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Swindon drew at Poole last week so would fancy their chances over two legs. They have also lost 54-36 there not so long ago and that was with Ward. I'm not convinced North would have so many bike problems in the play offs.

ouch Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 We also drew at Poole but they didn't have MJ. When they had a full team we beat them on aggregate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 M Normally agree with you Grach, but the Aces to win the title? No chance whatsoever. As I've always said, the Pirates are far too strong for any side over two legs. Interesting comment which many would agree with. The league table would rightly suggest Poole would be favourites over the Aces in a two legged tie, after all they finished 12 points ahead of us in the table. Head to head results between the Aces & the Pirates in 2015 would suggest it might be less clear cut: At Kirky Lane: Aces wins 49-44 & 53-39. At Wimborne Road: a 45-45 draw & a 53-40 Pirates win. Dakota North has been brilliant in his appearances at Belle Vue this season - & his form, good or bad, would be key in any clash between the two sides. However before any such clash, there's the tie between the Aces & Robins, two excellent sides. Before Darcy Ward's dreadful accident I'd have backed the Robins to progress, now I'm like everyone else finding it very difficult to call. Either way I'll be at Kirky Lane & Blunsdon for both legs - can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry1603 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) It will be close over the two legs, but i think the Ace's momentum will see them home. Can't see the winner of this semi final (whoever it is) winning the final though. Edited September 12, 2015 by Garry1603 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Belle Vue will win courtesy of their reserves scoring more than Swindons. The top 5 should equal each other although Matej looked in pain in tonight's GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionheart Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looking at AJs performance (Or lack of ) last night I wonder if he is up to the job ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 There's not much option,who else is there and he has been riding ok in the UK recently. However, any opinion that he is as good as Zagar is nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, any opinion that he is as good as Zagar is nonsense.AJ's scores at Belle Vue have been good but he is very inconsistent. Zagar is a big miss for Belle Vue as he had been in brilliant form for his team before his injury. Definitely weakens the aces.

thecoombdog Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 The nearer this meeting gets the more I'm expecting us to bottle it. There is no team quite like Swindon for bottling the big occasion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) It still looks like the weather could be the winner, drizzle from 1pm and rain from 5pm. Edited September 13, 2015 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Belle Vue are resting Zagar AJ comes in to replace Fantastic news. He's been awesome at belle Vue this year. We may win a heat 1 at home 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
