I'm not entirely sure that a Buxton supporter is particularly well placed to level any form of criticism at the organization at the National Speedway Stadium in the light of recent farcical episodes at the High Edge arena, Sometimes one does detect perhaps a tad of jealousy and Buxton Tiger keeping your own counsel may be the appropriate course of action. Obviously, we look forward to joining you next Sunday when you can show us how a professional speedway meeting should be conducted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Excellent racing today. track staff had to work hard to keep the moisture on the track.... watering after every 2 heats did the job although it did slow the meeting down.... but worth it for the entertainment value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Looking at the scoreline you could be forgiven that this was a gate and go borefest, nothing could be further from the truth, the racing was superb with the Aces earning a lot of points from the back, on a baking hot day there was no dust problem at all, the track rode really well and overall this was an excellent advertisement for the sport. Leaving the stadium people were enthusing over the quality of racing, normally on these types of aftenoons it becomes a slick dustbowl with follow my leader the norm, Kudos to the track staff.

lastword Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just seen on the Leicester website that they call today's condition 'a dusty track' OK, they want to look for excuses for such a dismal performance but it does Simon Stead (was it his quote I wonder?) no credit to suggest a dusty track was to blame. Fact: The track staff did a terrific performance to ensure that the track was NOT dusty. Sorry Simon you need to look elsewhere for your team's showing rather than criticise the Belle Vue track staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to think of some other reason why their team was so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Was certainly not dusty. Lions just poor. Some excellent races. Watering understandable. Interval did drag on for far too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 An enjoyable meeting despite the scoreline. Good racing, good atmosphere, an excellent guest performance from Riss and promising performances from our reserves. It was also good to see a few Leicester fans had made the trip and at least one Wolves fan who had obviously decided to see some proper speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far as I know, he had left his van at Stansted when he flew out after the meeting at Somerset. His flight from Prague was delayed so he had to drive into Germany to catch a flight which landed at Stansted in the early hours of the morning and then drive to Manchester for the meeting at 12 noon. He had no sleep and after taking his first ride felt ill and was apparently exhausted and dehydrated. He would probably have had time to recover and been ok if it has been an evening meeting.

ouch Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Not surprised a thread wasn’t started for the return fixture as the lack of interest whilst there is mirrored in the social media world. I’ve just got home as I left at heat 8 due to the appalling nature of the product on show. I think it was amplified by seeing the earlier meeting at the NSS. No racing and I’m confident there was no passing after I left. I only count passes after the third bend, first lap as up to then they’re just sorting themselves out off the start. Second and last visit. Nothing more to report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the poor thing. I hope he doesn’t get half the stick Woffy did when he did the same in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 What a difference in 2 meetings, first one had big score difference but passing in nearly every heat. 2nd one was fairly close score but we had to wait till heat 13 for a single pass, and what a good heat that was, with Fricke passing both Leicester riders despite King having a massive roller at the start, and then Riss passed Bjerre off last bend to beat him by at least half a bike length and the referee gave it to Bjerre! Tony Steele from Leicester was so biased, we had earlier Andersen taking Riss’ leg away causing Riss to fall yet Riss was excluded, multiple jump starts and bizarre decision when Bewley caused himself and Fricke both to fall the ref excluded Fricke!

The irony of tlbisft having a go at a rider with well reported issues would be funny if it wasn't so sick and twisted. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/82841-poole-2017/&do=findComment&comment=2900458 Yet you are happy to make fun of a poster who has known medical issues.

Sounds like you're getting grumpy now or is that because you've just got out of bed? If you can’t see the hypocrisy in your 2 posts then you are more of a troll than I thought. you have been rightly banned for your dreadful attacks in the past. I’m sure most were sick of your personal attacks. however if that’s what floats you boat go ahead. i made a comment about Cook in regards to him missing a meeting due to exhaustion and commented that Woffy did the same thing in 2014 and had a lot of posters mocking him for it. If you see something wrong in that then it makes you a very strange type of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
