The only bias is yours, I won't defend Stoke when it's bad, you're too blinkered to see Wolves for what it is. Passing after Bend 2 in Heats 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 with close finishes in 2 and 10. That's way more than in your average speedway meeting, this on a track affected by rain beforehand and with pretty poor opposition in the main. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Not being funny, if this was any other team apart from Panthers, this would have been a decent meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those passes down to the rider in front making a mistake/being caught out? #tricktrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few were 'rider error' at all. The Tungate incident wasn't even included. It was Masters chasing and passing Scott Nicholls that counted as the pass with no 'rider error' involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s had its issues granted, but at the moment it’s the best it’s been for a long time and far better racing than watching riders wobble around Monmore. PMSFL. Stoke is the joke track of the country. 1 minute ago, Stoke Potter said: It was the same tricktrack when Sky were there. The only bias is yours, I won't defend Stoke when it's bad, you're too blinkered to see Wolves for what it is. Of course it’s a trick track. Nobody is saying it isn’t. Sky couldn’t get enough of coming to Wolves. You have selective reading. Many Wolves fans including myself have been very vocal of how the preparation of the track has lacked the usual bite since Doc retired. And it’s still not quite what it was. Fans were raving about about it last week with no coincidence that Doc was offering assistance. Tonight was ruined by the downpour so we don’t know what would have been on offer. Obviously you will say it will be rubbish anyway because it’s a ‘trick track’. Hence why your opinion is completely biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 4 wasn't, Nicholls chased and passed Douglas around the outside. Heat 5 wasn't, Tungate passed Morris, Morris chased and returned the compliment. Heat 7 wasn't, Wright passed Howarth around the outside. Heat 9 wasn't, Nicholls passed Schlein around the outside Heat 11 wasn't, Masters passed Tungate up the inside Heat 13 wasn't, Masses passed Nicholls and passed around the outside. So in answer to you and Shovlar NONE of them were due to 'rider error'. Might help if you actually watched rather than have a pre-conceived bias beforehand. For reference I was highly critical of the track earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing of value this poster can add on a Wolves meeting thread. The meeting sadly ruined by the downpour. I was looking forward myself to seeing how much the racing had improved after the plaudits of last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 It was always going to be a bad choice of meeting to show anyway, despite the above average amount of passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Pretty terrible meeting I thought. So many of the riders seemed for some reason to not be in full control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigACE Posted August 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Score was one-sided. But there are many tales to tonights meeting. Proctors 2 mares. Then he got it together. The lad ruining his own start. Even the last heat what of course would have made no difference overall went against the Peterborough lads. They just need to stop having woeful lads like Porsing. Hope bikes dont pack up and that they get some much needed luck. I feel for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I appreciate the track was wet, it was explained a 15 minute downpour an hour before the meeting did that, but it seemed exceptional tonight what was happening. I sure I seen meetings there before when it must have been wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 For Wolves it’s good to see Howarth in good form in reserve. Never seems both him and Douglas both have a good match at the same time in reserve. Jacob was a near class act and Morris does appear to be coming into decent form. Solid show. Panthers have to thank Scott for being up to making a battle of it. Wright to a lesser extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
