As Rob R said, the rolling averages will rule that out, for this season at least ;) I don't know what he's doing different this season, or who does his bikes, but he's flying. As you said Ray , he comes across as a lovely lad, very grounded for such a young age. BV have got a gem there.

I think it's just that he is developing his natural ability and making progress at a rapid rate. It was obvious that he was a rare talent from his first meeting for the Colts,.  which was only at the beginning of 2016.

Couldnt give a monkeys what you say mate. theres no more that 400 there. What a way to drive fans away. And wheres all this passing on this super dupper track. farce.

"Farce" ?.... Plenty of passing, especially from Tungate /  Bewley  

 you really do have a personal grudge against BVs  new track don't you ....And possibly the Aces themselves ? ..

Jealousy ?          Pathetic really

Thought it was an extremely enjoyable meeting , two strong teams going for it !

To call it a 'farce' was a ridiculous statement, ... The kind of sh***e I've come to expect from certain posters

I dont i just think your promotion could have done more to attract more through the gate. Simples. Now, before you have a pop, please read my other posts. Thank you..

Finally watched the meeting. Some good racing at times. Heat 9 in particular. Why on earth was the crowd so small though? I just don’t believe that because Belle Vue have switched to a Monday it has taken 500 off the gate. Wolves ride Mondays. Fans come out. If ManU played on a Monday is there only 45,000 there? No. Perhaps the BV management need to start more advertising as the product is good. Good stadium, good facilities, great racing. No excuse not to have a full grandstand.

As for the meeting, it went as expected. Swindon in the mix but gradually running out of steam. Weak reserves their achilies heel.

Speedway ain't football though .Man Utd have 80 -90k + fans trying to fit into a 75k stadium most games. Try and get a ticket.

Man City had their tour through the town on the same night and the meeting was on TV.. It was said 800 by BV fans who have a better idea the us lot. That's not good, but if you take the TV and Man City away, they might of had 12-1300, which I guess is about right ?

You may not believe that switching to Monday is the reason for the drop in crowd numbers but it's the only factor that has changed from last season, so that seems fairy conclusive. Additionally, the Bank Holiday crowd was good, which again shows that the support is still there but just not prepared to come out on a Monday unless it's a holiday. 

More advertising would only be relevant to explain the drop in numbers through the turnstiles if they were doing less advertising this year than last and that isn't the case. In fact the social media presence is greater this year.

Most people have commented on a throughly enjoyable meeting , on a great track with plenty of passing from both teams 

Especially from young Dan Bewley  with Musielak and Bellego also impressive ....But you saw something different ???, 

And your comment "where was all the passing on this super duper track ?" was ridiculous .  No mention of BVs promotors 'doing more' BTW

Perhaps you should read your posts ?

Me too,  thought the Aces did well to beat a very impressive Robins outfit by 10,

think our reserves swung it in the end ?

Two good reserves you have there, Drozdz looks promising

Yes Drozdz could be a match winner at the NSS , 

Morris had a off night by his standards, and Batch seemed to lack his usual speed ?

Otherwise it would have been a lot closer .... Still believe the Robins will be the team to beat come the play offs

He was ok out of the starts. If had dropped a tooth or 2 off of the rear, he might of had more speed.

Speedway for All has all the heats on you tube. Not sure how to send the link. If you search Belle Vue Aces v Swindon Robins you should find it.
