Wolves Vs Belle Vue, Grand Final 1st Leg, 3/10/16...


Ace no.5

Recommended Posts

Can see the B/W helmet cover being the difference sadly..

 

Can see Woffy or Freddie delivering at least four points if wearing it..

 

Strange choice to give it Zagar who has proved time and again incapable of handling the pressure situations. (Five last night, five last year away at Poole in the Final) He also isn't great around Monmore and we had a track specialist in Cook in the same race..

 

Oh well....

 

Just need four 5-1's, two 4-2's, eight 3-3's and a 4-4 and the jobs a good 'un..😁

And Cook was off the best gate, he should of left until a easier opportunity later on. I don't think Wolves will need a tac ride. Edited by foreverblue

No Tai, surprising......Thorsell looked quick in his last ride but I don't get that decision.

Really? You think Tai wants to ride with Freddie??!

Amazed at the amount of bitter Poole fans floating about.. commenting on the track when they a mx track that even there best rider says is s**t and then the fact Wolves brought Woffinden into the team despite the fact it was legal unlike all the moves they have pulled to get riders in (see Hans is riding in the individual at Poole, looks like that season ending injury is ok)

Tbf Holder said all the UK tracks are s***.

Did Woffinden no harm riding on the small tracks of Rye House & Wolverhampton, and then becoming a top rider in Swedish & Polish leagues and winning the SGP ;)

Wuffy started his career at Pinjar Park so Rye House and Wolverhampton were big tracks to him!

Happened on the steps outside the bar. Didn't see what actually happened, just saw several stewards dash in to break whatever it was up.

It was handbags.

 

But did hear yam-yam c---s mentioned.Just a couple of Belle Vue fans involved,but lucky it was at Monmore and not at the Molineux.

Yet another shocking first leg in the Play Off final for Belle Vue, we now have the unenviable record of raced 5 matches in the final and never won one.

The Wolves fans can get ready to celebrate, baring a miracle, I cannot see Wolves having as many last places at the NSS.

 

A bit premature, but Congratulations Wolverhampton.

Just out of interest what is the capacity of Monmore Green? As there is only that limited space on the home straight, when it's busy it looks like it would be uncomfortable viewing and with everyone thrown in one space I'm not surprised scuffles break out when things get heated.

 

Well done to Wolves by the way, Belle Vue fans will you be the first to step up to the plate, club together and buy your team something to commemorate the fact you finished top of the league table?

We have a few idiot fans amongst us that seem to come out of the woodwork for.the final. They were loud and boisterous all night. To the point that I moved away from them. I don't mind a pantomime boo here or there but it went to far last night.

 

But the fight was down to just 1 idiot wolves fan who walked straight up to them to start a fight. Instead of ignoring him our idiot fans kicked off and retaliated. Not good to see.

 

It was a sour wnd to what was a sour performance. At least you can all use that famous hash tag

Well done to the Yams, probable 3 play-off wins not finishing top, but thems the rules.

Poor if a few Mancs or Wolves fans caused trouble, they weren't wearing sombreros? Down with this sort of thing at speedway, stick to football. Remember there were a few problems with the Yam Army at Swindon in 2009 Final. Its not Poland ya meatheads!

Overall I didn't think it was too bad a meeting just not the result that everybody thought it would be.

 

One thing that Wolves do need to do is improve is the lighting at Monmore last night it was terrible. It is so hard to work with so much it I think it distracts from the coverage as so many dark spots with that horrible yellow tinge. The slo mo replays look grainy and washed out but nothing could be done I know we have the same problem with the greyhounds so only do tv meeting in the summer

Didn't mention it earlier but despicable behaviour from a few Belle Vue fans at the end of tonight's meeting starting a fight because their team had lost. Absolutely NOT what we want at speedway meetings.

 

Any Wolves fans provoking also out of line,

I agree 100% but i can tell you it was started by a wolves fan as i was stood next to it, but id blame both. It was also only 1 fan from each club the others were trying to calm it down. I was livid as my son nearly got stuck in the middle of it, not what you want or expect to see at speedway.

The most disappointing thing for me is the fact we have blown it again in leg 1 just like all our previous finals. There was no comeback then and there wont be one this tine either. Wolves will easily defend 18 points. An amazing stat is the Aces have an 100% win record in semi final legs 5 out of 5 and a 0% win record in final legs 5 out of 5 so far.

The simple answer to that is that they are not use to winning anything unlike the Poole fans who have been spoilt with trophies.

 

And I only thought prawn sandwich eaters were only in Manchester (just joking Poole fans before I am jumped on.)

Prawn sandwich eaters are in Stretford, not Manchester.

Not what you expect to see at speedway but very much what you expect from Wolverhampton! Ever been to Molineux?

Not sure if this would make sense? but I think a one off meeting to decide the winners and hold it at a proper 'neutral' race track, like Peterborough or Sheffield ???

 

I'd hate to have to watch speedway at Wolverhampton every week.....yawn, yawn !!!

 

Zagar was poor, considering he's riding so well in the Gp's of late?

Zagar had a mirror with him last night, make sure he was actually there.

Agreed, both equally to blame.
