Phil The Ace Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Charles Wright guests for the injured Worrall NBJ guests for the injured Robson Should be a comfortable home win. But depends which rye house turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 It's unfortunate that Robson is injured. One of my favourite riders because he always gives 100%. Nicholls and Harris have struggled at the NSS but also had good meetings. I think a lot will depend on which KK turns up but even so I can't see anything but a comfortable home win.

Being a local lad He's started the season in great form too. Really coming of age when you think he was struggling for a team spot in the 2nd division before Somerset picked him up.

g13webb Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Don't like to hear of riders getting injured. We aren't but a few weeks in to the new season and already the numbers are mounting up. Going back to them 'good ole days' riders only rode twice a week, meaning accidents were fewer and injuries were even less. Bikes were much slower and far easier to control. Now riding 4/5 times a week, hoping on planes during 4 countries has to take its toll. Because of this, I would imagine the sport is far more dangerous now and accident are considered par for the course. Like I say I don't like all these injuries..... Pity the people in charge didn't put more emphasis on riders safety.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Can't see Rye getting anything out of this despite the Aces remaining weakened. 55-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving the best till last.Great view from anywhere in the stadium I choose to sit in C block.Its £18 to stand in south stand seating is £21 in grandstand £24 for D block(start line)You buy your tickets from the ticket office before you go in.Prog £3.Theres a car park on pink bank lane just behind the stadium or you can park on the school grounds on Kirky lane they charge £3.You can park on the streets round the stadium but its safer to use the car parks.

It's dearer to sit at start line as seast are padded. I sit in a block on bend 1. Get to see all action at pit gate etc. The view is good anywhere. Safer to park in school next door. Wouldn't trust roads. Rough as a bears arse round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All decent viewing. I absolutely hate the fact that we can’t walk all round the stadium, stand on the first bend, second bend, third or fourth bend but that’s new stadium rules Edited April 23, 2018 by Trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I may pay the extra three quid and sit in the grandstand. We’re staying at the Sportscity Travelodge. It says a £10 minute walk, but as a previous poster says it’s a bit rough we’ll park at the stadium! I reckon we’ll get hammered. Let’s hope the rain holds off. Forecast doesn’t look great, some showers around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was one of the worst culprits having been to them all except 4 . so I take my hat off to you. The track a BV is a bit special and I hope you see a cracking match. I always enjoyed my visit to Manchester, Hyde Park was a majestic old track and held some brilliant BLRC meeting there. I didn't go a lot on the old one, but this NSS is what all speedway track should be like now. catering for the ultra fast bikes. I have no doubts you will see a some brilliant racing.... Hope the rain stays away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 The Met Office forecast is looking better now, no rain during the day and only a 20% chance of rain during the meeting. It's changed three times in the last few hours so worth keeping an eye on it but so far getting better each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't fall, but from where I was standing (3rd-4th bend) it looked like he jarred his left leg on turns 1-2. He rode outside the circuit towards the 3rd bend in obvious agony, and fell off his m/c just before the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
