Phil The Ace Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Pre advance ticket sales are way below standard. In one way in quite happy at that because I hate the glory hunters that come out the woodwork for play offs and act like they been all year. But the club need a big crowd so where are you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a pair i think the top two riders from each team are well matched but Robert Lambert is almost unbeatable at Kings Lynn so that's to their advantage and lower down the order Kings Lynn will show their strength in depth. and the NSS, is NKI ok to ride or still injured. If he is still injured that evens the teams up, if TP is not fit to ride then it's advantage to Belle Vue. Such a massive shame we can't see 2 full strength teams battling it out, but as they say. That's speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the track is anything like it's been recently we will need our gating boots on to build up a useful lead to take the Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's speedway. NKI has ridden since, i believe his withdrawal was precautionary. Proctor rode last night so should be a full KL team although TP is coming back from injury like Worrall. Worrall is still struggling for fitness in my opinion as he seems to start meetings well then fades later on. I take your point about full teams and Bewley is a big miss along with Worrall not being fully fit, it could depend on the guest BV get for Riss.

Bagpuss Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I’d also argue that if Proctor doesn’t make it then we can cover for him pretty well with all bar Lambert able to take a R/R ride, assuming of course we don’t lose another rider on the night.

Not bad considering the Aces get around I would suggest 1200 - 1400 on average.. And considering its live on TV too... And on a Monday... Crowds were around 1800 on average in the first year riding on a Friday and Saturday so getting that many three years later given the generic ongoing decline of the sport won't be too bad I reckon.. Bank Holidays at the old place used to get circa 2500, and at best at the NSS this year they were around 2000, so all in all a similar amount on Monday would be a reasonable return..

So probably not 100%. I ain't heard anything on how he is. The Comets are riding again tonight, so will see if Ty's involved. My worry is TJ for the trip to the NSS. He is up and down and don't seem to go well at BV.. In his last 2 meetings there his scores are.... EF, 0, 1 =1 and 1, 2, 0, 0 = 3 His last meeting was at home in the cup semi on the 17th and he scored 2, 0, 1, 0, 1 +4. He's a worry for me.

Steve0 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Sorry to see Cookie crash in the SGP - hope he OK to ride for the Aces on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradford Ace Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Suspected broken wrist so looks like his season is done. Presume we’ll get Batch in - loves the NSS and hates Kings Lynn!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Possible broken wrist for cook. Should make it easy for Lynn now. He was flying lately. Irreplaceable. We can get batch who will do anything to beat Lynn though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Get well soon Cookie - gutted for the Aces. Batch seems the obvious choice to replace him at NSS but wouldn’t overlook Muesli for the second leg.

one of clubs Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Will we be able to trust Troy "guarantee" Batchelor as a guest for Monday?. When he guested for BV at Poole earlier in the season he scored a solitary point, a short time later he rode again for his own team and scored 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 If reports of broken wrist are true, I'm gutted for Belle Vue. much as I'd love Lynn to get to the final and win the title, not this way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Batchelor is very good round the nss and doesn't particularly get along with kl. Simple choice. Gutted for Craig but honestly I dont think it will have that much impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
