At the beginning of the season there was so much negativity from some of the Kings Lynn fans about their team, while us Poole fans thought we'd got it right! Personally I think Somerset are the team to fear over 2 legs, having said that, all of the Poole team are capable of big scores, just so inconsistent, if they could all find form at the same time we would be unbeatable! your right always somebody missing yesterday was a prime example ?

I think you will find that most of the negativity about the Kings Lynn team came from fans of other clubs........Well done Stars, shut a few haters up....Looks like a play off place at least. Anything more will be a bonus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing you are leading especially going into the second leg and not playing catch up can work well sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KL will pick Belle Vue and will also triumph in the final You're all assuming Belle Vue will be the final team in the playoffs. Yes they're in the box seat at the moment but there's still plenty of action to come. They have 2 tough fixtures to come, away at Swindon and home to Somerset. Both are tough meetings with a full 1-7 but on the evidence of last night they are severely weakened without Bewley. I wouldnt be at all surprised if they lost both in which case Swindon could yet pinch the last spot. Then of course theres Wolves who could yet do it but we have a tough home meeting against Kings Lynn and very tough away trips to Somerset and Poole. We need to win atleast 2 of these to stand any chance which is a tough ask but again, on the evidence of last night, the determination is certainly there although without Rory and possibly Kyle choice of guests will be key. Which ever 1 it is from those 3 the team that finishes top would be stupid not to pick in the semi final as the other 3 are clearly stronger.

Phil The Ace Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 It's ok for teams to amend rules on race nights so hopefully belle vue can bend a rule and get bjerre in for bewley. Keep us as underdogs. Everyone loves an underdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancied KL to win the league after watching them at Swindon at the start of the season and then I thought mid season they had no chance. Now Im thinking I was right all along!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we are good enough to make the final against any of the other three, and if we do we could easily go on and win it. No real weak links and still have two strong reserves with Worrall and Jakobsen. The team we ride against in the semi will need to be at their best to beat us over two legs. If Somerset get a choice in the play offs then I would be choosing Poole personally. Every time we have kept it close or won at Wimborne Road. Worrall has been poor recently and weakens the Pirates considerably now Woryna is in the main body. I'd want to be avoiding Kings Lynn first time around.

I fully agree I still think Swindon could nick it as Somerset at home Will be tough, but the Aces only need 1 point to pip Swindon so a draw at home or an away point at Swindon will do us. We are slightly stronger now as Tungate can take R/R ride from 1st Sept. Wolves will need to dramatically improve to get through as they have been shocking away all season, yes the spirt was great to win at home on Monday night but away is different story for Wolves.

foreverblue Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Can't see Belle Vue winning now with Dan Bewley out , Kings Lynn have a chance but the favourites are Somerset in my view. I would imagine if Kings Lynn are top the would choose Belle Vue and if Somerset are top they would choose Poole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose at home to Somerset but then pick up a point at Swindon it will come down to points for and against and at the moment that would favour us. Wolverhampton could also qualify but I think their chances are very slim. I think King's Lynn will finish top and I agree with you that, if we qualify, they will choose us. I think it will then probably be a Somerset, KL final although never underestimate the Aces. Nobody thought we would win at Somerset and Swindon and although it would be even more difficult without Dan we could still do it against the odds.

SomersetBlue Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 It's going to take a lot to finish above King's Lynn now tbh although still do- able for Somerset. They would have to pick wins from Leicester and Belle Vue and win against Kings Lynn putting them on 51/52/53 and lets face it King's Lynn beating Leicester twice putting them on 50. We would then have to hope nothing comes from their trip to Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 As it seems the likely top 2 will be Kings Lynn and Somerset, does it really matter who gets to choose oppnoents as it seems cut and dried who both would pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Aces will do enough to make 4th place, however like any team that limps into 4th place will be cannon fodder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
