Bagpuss Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I reckon we can double our money with another 25 points.....got to be looking to win all of our home matches, win big twice at Leicester and then pick a point up at the two best race tracks in the league which should suit our dodgy gating.

So you are predicting the Stars are not getting a point from the Oak Tree Arena? Or Monmore? Or NSS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monmore. Wolves away and Poole at home are the two trickiest fixtures in terms of expected points IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 People can say what they like about Speedway about it dying on it's arse and poor standard of riders etc etc... but when was the last time the top division was so open? Who knows who will make the top 4 and in what order. Has to be the most open season for many a year. Somerset are the only team to remain unbeaten at home but even then have dropped points in a draw. The next few weeks of the season should be brilliant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about Rye and things need to be sorted this winter but any team can win this season, except perhaps Leicester. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 It would be a surprise if all clubs in a tiny 7 team league were not in with a chance of finishing fouth from bottom around the half way stage. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Because the points totals the teams are unusually close together., five teams separated by only 3 points. I can see this going to the wire. Belle Vue's lost last night was massive, 3pts they could ill afford to lose. but other teams can also suffer in a similar way. August should answer a lot of questions... Of the top 5 now, Swindon having played 2/3 matches more than the rest, are looking precarious, but are still very much in it. I'll going to go with Somerset, Poole, Lynn with Swindon edging out Wolves for the last place.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Gotta be Somerset, King's Lynn, Poole & Swindon as the top 4 now, can't see that changing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 The matches, a team has against Poole will have a big bearing on their finishing order.; Somerset still have to play them 3 times, Swindon twice; and Lynn, Wolves and Leicester only once, Those matches, Poole against Somerset, could determine who gets the choice of semi-final selection.

Bagpuss Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think we need to top the league and hope Poole go out in the other semi to have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 As time moves on the pursuit for Play-off positions is really hotting up. Acquiring 10 pts in a week, really has brought Belle Vue back into contention. The next two weeks will offer most teams the chance of staking a claim, but also it could be disastrous for teams who slip up. All Monday's fixtures went with home victories, but I m sure they all wont go as each will predict. Looking at the league table, Swindon and BelleVue have both played more matches than the rest, and must be hoping that 'The bird in the hand ' is better than cramming in loads of matches.. Away fixtures are of the utmost importance and offer teams the chance of those elusive bonus points. Tomorrow.s 'Double Header' of KL v Wolves is massive. Winning both matches would push the Stars up into a prime PO position , but losing them would be catastrophic and all but end any hopes of them P/O places. Wolves on the other hand have no pressure should they lose, but if they were successful it would virtually guarantee a P/O place. We are now at the point of the season where every match is of paramount importance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
