Aces51 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 The track is ready but the weather forecasts for today and tomorrow doesn't make it look hopeful that the match will be on. No idea how the Colts will do, not followed NL since our last involvement. Just hoping that the forecasts are wrong and that we at last get some speedway at the NSS.

teaboy279 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 If on it should be a tight match. Fingers crossed the weather plays ball and the last couple of months are consigned to the history books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Tricky one to call. If Payne was present i would go for the home win but all to race for now. I back Stokes top end over Belle Vue but the Colts probably have a stronger bottom 3. A stand out performance from any rider could swing it but im going for a rare away Stoke win.

Islander15 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Bewley is by far the stand out reserve on show and with it being R/R for Payne, I can see 7 rides for Dan and a good enough score from him to give the Colts the victory. However with this being KOC, I find it surprising that BV don't want to build up a good lead and haven't brought in a guest for Payne because Stoke look to have a stronger top 2 in Wilson and Atkin than Williamson (who has started the year very well, I must add) and Shuttleworth.

Ben91 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 The track could be a leveller, given the previous issues and the fact that it is the first meeting at the NSS. Atkins and Wilson have bucket loads of experience and that could see them well, especially if track conditions are tricky. Williamson and Bewley will score most of the Belle Vue points I'd imagine, hard to call though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Though not a close follower of NL speedway, I'm really looking forward to following the Colts fortunes this season, starting with the visit of Stoke tomorrow night. After previously watching Jason Garrity & Kyle Howarth in Colts fixtures, be interesting to see who, if any, of the current crop might follow in their tyre tracks. Read a lot of positive comments about Dan Bewley, will be fun to watch his progress as the season goes on. No idea what the score might be, but after all the dramas surrounding the track let's just hope there's a healthy turnout to back both teams & get speedway in 2016 here in Manchester up & running.

How do you think the attendance for the Belle Vue Colts v Stoke match will compare with those attending your neighbours at Belle Vue on Bank Holiday Monday? Here's what they are offering: http://www.startrax.info/Meetings/Preview/2016/05/02/Belle%20Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces v Kings Lynn on Monday lunchtime and I expect a very large crowd of 3000-4000 probably if the weather is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 If the weather intervenes tomorrow (and I hope it doesn't) and the Colts match does not go ahead, what implications does that have for Mondays EL match if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise there was a senior Belle Vue match on Bank Holiday Monday. The possible attendance for that could be more than for the stock cars later in the day IMO. Here's Monday's weather forecast...! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2643743 Edited April 28, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf if I was local it would be a perfect double header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Sadly it's off, not surprised it's been an awful weather in Greater Manchester for the last 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
