Bunce Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 14 hours ago, mrss said: Good forecast for tomorrow. Will the meeting start be delayed to let the fans in? It better not be! I expect we will get a sun delay anyway. We had this discussion before. They should start on time, otherwise the whole thing becomes a farce again. If I can get there on time from Norwich, then others should also turn up on time. I appreciate that some people work late and such like, but to be brutal that's not my problem. Image if football started late because Joe Bloggs was working overtime, or trains waited at platforms for late arrivals, or planes sat on runways.......etc....etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertaining races, on a well prepared track, with 2 full teams of riders, and races run promptly will get crowds coming back even if Stars lose... Being the first meeting of the season and therefore a bit more focus on it than a normal meeting, then I suspect it will be run a bit quicker than normal but as weeks pass by, it will slow down again. After all, just think of all those minutes of food and drink income poor old Chapman will lose if they actually get on with a meeting each week!

Mattfordfan Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Going for a KL victory. Tungate was poor again on Monday and if the same happens tonight then I don't see how BV can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away from home that is a much bigger ask though so, as usual in speedway, home win is the only prediction that makes sense. Fingers crossed we can pick something up.

g13webb Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Cant imagine BV going home empty handed. Its bound to be a close match with the outcome decided by the results of heats 13 and 15... Either way i shall be happy, regardless of the score.... It seems like an eternity since we last went to a Speedway meeting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Hope that he will now dispense with 50p surcharge on debit cards. He carried on with this even after it was in the process of being made illegal as the law was not yet in place.

Bald Bloke Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hope the Stars have had a practice, if not the Aces might have the edge, being sharper out of the starts. Close one i reckon. Can't go as Grandson has a footy match starting at 6.15pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I think this one could go either way. I'm not sure how Lasse Bjerre usually goes at KL but I can't see him doing as well as Worrall. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Lambert could do better than Etheridge so we might gain an advantage there. I just hope it's a close meeting with no delays and some good racing.

Mattfordfan Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Think KL need to get off to a positive start this season after the shambolic 2017 season. Tough meeting but Kerr at reserve is the match winner imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read what Bald Bloke said,he hoped the Stars have had a practice.Nothing to do with the hot laps to which i am sure you are referring.

Both home meetings at Workington this season have been far better as regards getting the meeting over with as little delay as possible, long may it continue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 KL did their ‘hot laps’, Belle Vue complained and said they wanted to go out too so Buster spat his dummy out and dumped loads of water down making the track like a skating rink.

So if you was there you would of noticed the much faster Tungate in his 3rd and forth rides, hopefully those 2 rides indicate he has sorted his slow bike problems and could well relite his season.As for tonight I'm sticking my neck out and say a win for Belle Vue, 43-47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be argued that Belle Vue then had the advantage of riding the track after it had been watered. Feeling like playing Devil Advocate I've said previously that it would be fairer for both teams to take part and they should take turns, not all one team and then the other to make it even fairer.

The man is an absolute tool. Did he expect we'd just turn up and say thats okay? The sooner he f=-=s off out if thus sport the better it will be for everyone 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone really think there wouldn’t be a problem with only home riders doing hot laps ? It’s totally unfair on the visiting team .
