Belle Vue vs Kings Lynn Playoff Semi 1st Leg 24/09/18


Recommended Posts

It's a severe blow that Cook isn't riding and r/r weakens us considerably. Bellego has been decent on his last two visits, 11 from 6 and 8 from 5 but that doesn't fully compensate for Bewley. It's going to be very tough now for the Aces but I'm sure they will all give 100% and let's see what happens. Definitely King's Lynn's to lose now.

Great!

Despite the league cup format having a negative effect on overall attendances, poor weather possibly spoiling the meetings and injuries having a major impact when the risk of those negatives could be significantly mitigated by having a proper league, and to satisfy those addicted to a big climax (what's the word for that, does it begin with W?) another tourney with a final, it is still great to see the biggish crowd for the cup final still makes up for all the rubbisht, if you're addicted to a big climax that is, lol!

As always, shouldn't your rants be directed towards the promoters? It is they, not fans, who put them in place.

Are Belle Vue in favor of play-offs or against them? Do you know?

As regards to the injury to Cook, terrible news. It does take something away when the 'heart' of the team is missing. Love him or hate him, Cook is sheer passion and gives his all for his club.

It's been known to happen, chin up  :)

Facts not rants? I don't understand your point, if 'Belle Vue' are in favour of the league cup what difference does that make to the negative effect on attendances, and weather and injury affected meetings?

It's unlike you to have negative things to say about the Belle Vue promotion, hence me wondering if they were actually against them.

has jye got a team place elsewhere since being released by belle vue? I was under the impression a guest HAD to have a current team place. The stars couldn't use Mads a few years back after he had been released by Leicester. 

Berwick in the Championship...

In my opinion it was always Kings Lynn's to lose even with Cook but now it just makes it much easier for them.

Win or lose at least we are almost certain to see some great speedway.  I'm feeling quite positive, unusual for me, a 10 or 12 point lead to take to Saddlebow Rd will keep the fire stoked for next Monday, we may have Craig back by then.

As FF says, if all are on their game then we can do it, here's hoping.

Even if King's Lynn won by 10 or 12 tonight, I still wouldn't write Belle Vue off at King's Lynn.

Play-Offs can often lead to an upset.

True but you would fancy your chances wouldn't you, Poole drew at Belle Vue a few years and nearly got turned over at home so you have to be on your guard not to let it slip or be over confident but in reality if you got a draw or better you would have to be very happy with that.

Play offs can throw anything up.

Massive, massive advantage for Lynn though.

I'd go Worrall/Fricke/Bellego/Tungate for Craig's rides.

Steve seems to be starting meetings better than hes finishing them currently. Hopefully if Rohan is on it then heat 13 wont be so bad.

Huge underdogs now. Hopefully that will spur on the boys.

Massive blow for Belle Vue, takes the shine off the tie a bit unfortunately. Lynn need to be cashing in big time tonight.

We would all like 2 full teams may the best team win kind of thing. While it is a blow, no doubt about it. I'm not playing down Lynn's chances, or bigging up BV's. Just as I see it....I know you can't replace those 2,.

BV will need to be on it, but last time out the Aces beat the Rebels 50-40. In that meeting RR got 8 for Dan and Cookie got 13 from 5....And the quest reserve JBA scored 0.....That's 21 points from those 3. 

 If you take the 50-40 win when....

Craig 13 from 5 (10.5 ave for 4 rides)

RR for Dan 8 from 4

JBA at reserve 0 from 3

That's 21 from those 3.

If tonight...

RR for Cookie 8 from 4.....

Bellego 7 from 4..... A point down from what RR  got for Bewley.. Bellego's last 2 meetings at BV got 8 and 11 from 5 rides.

Jye 7 ( he scored 7 from 3 completed rides in his last meeting at the NSS)  JB Andersen scored 0 in the win over the Rebels.

That's 22 points for them 3.

All is not lost for BV.

What we will loose from Craig's rides we will gain from bellego Instead of R/R. 

 

I'm fairly confident of a win. Lynn have not faced us with a scoring reserve yet. Berge as been terrific and jye should beat simon Lambert. 

 

We need to take advantagebwhen NKI and Lambert are not out and stop 1-5s against in heat 13 and 15 which I centre Lynn doing again

Absolutely, Belle Vue are on their own circuit tonight and if all six of their riders turn up they could win the meeting comfortably and take a decent lead into next week. However as the team who finished top we should be looking to go there tonight with two of their best riders missing and killing the tie off or at least coming away with a small lead. And that is not underestimating Belle Vue at all.
