Well done Lynn. 2 feet in the final. Deserved place

 

Allit what a twit, etheridge had no right to moan but what Allit did was disgraceful. It was simply words between mechanic and rider but he waged in grabbed James by the frost and launched him into fence. Then he was twerping on till after heat 15 arguing with people. 

 

Except for fricke and etheridge that was embarrassing. Clear out needed 

Fair Play to you phil the ace probably spot on with everything you say there bud ..

I said as soon as Bellego was announced bad choice and that's how it turned out very poor, Berge too who was brought in for his home form never turned up, I predicted an away win but to go from 10 up to an 8 point defeat was a total capitulation. I agree with Phil The Ace a total clearout is needed the nucleus of this side have failed at the business end of every season, also not impressed with lemon overall as some of his decisions over the season leave a lot to be desired. Fricke and Etheridge the two who can hold their heads up to be fair Tungate did put in some effort though. It could have been worse Lambert and NKI could have got dialled in from the start. Congratulations to the Stars best of luck in the final, next week is now a dead rubber, might as well concentrate on the Poole v Somerset meeting.

What happened to Rohan? No speed at all.

His engine blew against Somerset in the bt meeting. Struggled for speed since then. 

 

10/10 for effort. As u say. Just no speed

Felt a bit sorry for Belle Vue tonight but in truth even though every rider for the Stars (MPT aside) had a bad ride they all chipped in.

Except for Fricke & Etheridge the riders in Red, White & Black were largely disappointing.

With Cook & Bewley fully fit, it may have been a different story. We will never know, 8 points is a big turn around though.

Still think the Stars middle order of Jorgensen, Proctor & Riss are capable of losing them a meeting (& Championship).

Firstly congratulations to Kings Lynn well deserved win.  I hope for your fans you win the title but also I would love too see your manager and owner win nowt don't like either of them.

As for the Aces yes we were weakened with injuries and we have had no luck this season but to lose by 8 from 10 up is shocking.  Our guest was poor but worrall, Tungate and Berge were very poor we should expect much better.  Only max and Jye performed tonight.  This team needs a refresh, we have a good formula of building teams to get to the playoffs but seem to fluff our lines each year once we get there.

To go 10 points up against a strong KL team was a massive effort.  However because of the missing riders, the latter heats were always going to be difficult and that’s how it proved to be.

There are still 15 heats of speedway to come and while we all expect KL to prevail,  it isn’t over yet.

Well done both teams as I enjoyed watching the meeting - just love the racing from the NSS - that’s what speedway is all about not the dust bowl at Blunsdon or the bumpy motocross track at Poole.

Strange you think that,    I was of the impression that most 'middle order' riders are there because they blow Hot and Cold.    Rest assured all of those riders  have proved they are capable of winning races for fun.  Yes, they can lose as well ,  struggle with set-up and  miss the gate,  but when the chips are down they usually come to the party.   They may not be the quality  of Lambert and Niels, but they are an integral part of the team....     When looking at other teams I believe our middle order  are as good or better  than the rest...     The fact that MPT  is still at reserve proves how well the engine room really  is....

Yup we all start at 0-0. But hey, you havnt lost yet. Granted it looks a formality to Lynn, but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and thats how your boys have to look at it. Although Foreverblue wont agree with me..

How can they possibly come back from 8 down at home to winning by more than 8 away, Lemon knows it, all BV fans know it. Has any team overturned such a deficit having lost so heavily at home.

Everyone raves about the Somerset track but its bumpy too, a track doesn't have to be smooth to get good racing.

He may have not ridden to his best lately but Jorgensen has had a terrific season and after watching heat 14 can do it when it matters and fights for the team. A real team effort tonight and Iversen finding some form at the right time.

Thing is this is speedway, anything can happen. We could suffer a couple of injuries on the night next Monday or a spate of engine problems, you just never know. Unlikely as it is that we will not now go through it’s not done til it’s done and everyone will stay calm and focussed until 91 points have been scored.

what a cracking team Kings Lynn have, very strong and entertaining.

Palm Toft just looked class all night.

R Lambert just oozes class and sublime in heats 13 and 15.

Kings Lynns team manger should be applauded for trying to keep people apart.

Belle Vue's track should be on the GP calendar, easily the best track in terms of racing and excitement in the UK.
