Can you explain why you have changed the gate opening time. The fact that racing doesn't start until 8pm doesn't mean that the gates should open later. One has nothing to do with the other.

Phil The Ace Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 And the reason it was delayed was due to a certain no1 moaning about the track. All though it wasn't just him tbf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 on my home from the match gantry's on the M60 were informing of a 2 hour wait between Junc 19 and 17 on the M6, that's going to affect all traveling from this meeting to the one at Wolves. As for the match the last 5 heats were all 5-1's. 4 to Belle Vue.....1 to Wolves, I never expected as between heats 1 and 10 the match was swinging 1 way then the other, must of been tough for the traveling Wolves fans, but cracking for all the Aces fans. Hopefully we can come away from Monmore with at least 1 point. 3 would be great.....but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect because of H&S the gates cant open until a certain number of attendants are in place, and if the attendants are speedway supporters they may well be part of those travelling from BV on a bank holiday Monday and potentially get stuck in traffic with others. All maybe of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All maybe of course. It`s certainly not because the greyhounds are racing later than normal as last race is 18.09 which is the same as every week.

Halifaxtiger Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Impressive from Belle Vue considering they got 1pt from Bewley's rides. Cook was brilliant - easily the best I have seen him at NSS this year - and never looked like being beaten. The track was dreadfully wet to start with but there was still some decent racing.

I'll take a score draw 1-1 Just to keep the record straight,the collection was in aid of the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund not specifically for Dan. Although hopefully Dan's injuries may have swelled the coffers a bit more than normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Potter Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Considering how wet the track was, it stood up well and produced some decent racing. Fricke & Berge pulling some good passes. No track in the country can cope with the rain like B.V. Shame they now all have to trek down the M6 to have a go on the Monmore trick-track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) There was some decent races and considering all of the rain yesterday and this morning the track rode well right from heat 1. Craig Cook was on fire scoring a paid 5 ride maximum. We won relatively easily in the end but we certainly missed Dan with the reserves and Worrall scoring only a solitary point from r/r. This is the latest update on Dan's injuries, taken from the Workington website. "Issued at 15:00hrs on Monday 27th August Following his crash at Workington on Saturday evening Dan Bewley has now had all of his currently planned operations and is now recovering well in Carlisle Infirmary. The doctors have reported that they are very pleased with how everything went. His injuries can now be confirmed as a broken left femur (in five places), a broken upper right arm and a broken left wrist. After being in theatre for seven hours on Sunday he has been 'pinned and plated' and the doctors are looking to get him up on his feet for the first time within the next 24 hours. Dan's spirits remain high and he thanks everyone for their messages of support. Again, we repeat, that Dan's family have politely asked that although everyone is obviously concerned as to Dan's welfare, which is greatly appreciated, that they refrain from contacting the hospital to enquire about his condition. We have spoken with Dan's family, who have promised to keep us updated at regular intervals and we will bring further updates on his condition when we have them. On behalf of Dan and his family we thank-you all for your continued support." Ouch!!!!! Edited August 27, 2018 by Aces51 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Really enjoyed my first visit to the NSS. Despite the wet track we enjoyed some terrific racing in a great stadium. I parked in the stadium car park as suggested and failed to have the brunch in the Peter craven suite instead having a burger from downstairs. I’m sure as it was about 11am it must have been kept warm from the last colts meeting !! presentation was first class as Hayley kept everyone informed of the delays which you could hear clearly and chase the ace was very good value too with good crowd participation. Very much looking forward to returning very soon. Plus not one single hold up going or returning on my 450 mile round trip !!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 You’ve got to go back to May to find the last time Schlein scored more than 8 from his first four rides. Some sort of luck is still with us. Even out my arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 How did 5 man Wolves beat the Aces? Great comeback from the boys. The Aces won’t be a threat in the play offs on this evidence. lets hope Rory and Kyle are ok. Been a tough bank holiday for bad crashes.
