IronScorpion Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have just been on the Aces topic & it is said that there will be a price increase in 2020, £1 for Aces & £2 for Colts. This is mainly to cut the losses of the Colts meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, with positive encouragement & good luck who knows what they might achieve. Only a short time ago the Aussies had 3 excellent talents & all 3 sons of good riders: Alex Davies, Taylor Poole & Dakota North. Great talent alone is no guarantee of future success a lot of other factors come into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) In 2019 we had both Jordan and Connor who started on a 3 point average and achieved great progress between them. I hope Harry McGuirk can blossom this year as the young newcomer Paul Bowen should put his average up reasonably... in the latter part of his first season he was showing good signs of upping his game Both Bens should also progress.... it is a promising team which will be good to watch Edited January 27, 2020 by Gunner85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also looks a big year ahead for the Ben's with Woodhull sliding down last year and i fear his interest is waning whilst i think Rathbone will be a much bigger improver this year having visited several tracks last year although a shortened season may hurt those with only one seam place. The Colts should be rock solid at home again this year so it will be how well they travel deciding how well the fare at the end of the season.

I quite liked the lad and thought he was doing fine at Redcar but they certainly did not shaft him. If you have a tantrum and a fall out with the management , expect concequences, but I do hope to see the lad get a chance somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought after one meeting he asked to step down from the team then subsequently changed his mind but by this time it was too late Redcar had already found someone to replace him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Jack comes off as a bit of an idiot tbh. He’s had his fair share of run ins and even fell out with Bickley on the track last season. When situations occur on a fairly regular basis and you end up with no team, then there is generally something wrong aside from just bad luck. I think he needs to sit down, look at his mentality and then go again. Edited March 10, 2020 by acef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that Jack is in the team whilst Connor attends a wedding in Aussie. So he gets a chance to pit himself in the window re getting in a team later in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Belle Vue have the Colts side which is great. Once COVID is sorted , I would love to see the NSS start to have weekly Training schools under the competent hands of Mark Lemon and also have amateur meetings. Scunthorpe run them and although they only make a smallish profit they are invaluable tools for the progress of British Speedway. As a youngster I used to go to Hyde road where there were Monday training schools in the season and Saturday training schools on Saturdays in the winter.

Season begins 17th May, unless things have changed season finishes 31st October. Current fixtures 10 league, 2 play off, 1 FIM u21 total 13. Days available 167, so that leaves just 154 days to fit in the 7 National League fixtures. I await a full explanation from the management of the problem or what the smoke screen is all about.

secsy1 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Looking at the riders Belle Vue would possibly run with, think it is more about convenient days when they are all available from other team commitments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
