Batchelor riding an absolute bag of spanners. Wasn't it an E/F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few rusty performances and it was easy to spot the lads who have had some racing this year. Regardless of Ellis previous performances at Belle vue I would expect him to have got more than r/r with having ridden in Poland. If Bachelor gets his finger out I think we can have a good season. I find it a bit worrying when jack holder says him and Ellis may miss the occasional meeting. I suppose we are in the hands of the covid pandemic so hardly surprising If Holder/Ellis were available for this meeting during the pandemic,you would like to think they should be available for all the other meetings especially as the rules are easing a bit.If it's a clash with other meetings that would be Sheffield's problem.

"the yacht was drifting broadside to the wind" They also showed the score at one point as something like 62-32, this was about half way through the meeting directly after a heat, or were they giving heat times?

It looked from the brief clip on the telly that he made the wrong choice to hug the kerb presumably expecting King to divebomb him and realised as King went round the boards, hence hitting himself round the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Good meeting, enjoyed the Eurosport presentation the female host Abi made me laugh sounds like she has a peg over her nose lol. Batchelor was awful and that was no engine failure he just didn't fancy it hope he comes good though Sheffield deffo look good though.

one of clubs Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Good meeting last night. MOTM was Tom Brennan, who's super defeat of Batch was vital in securing the win. Seems he was on a guarantee, much like he was at Poole a few seasons ago when guesting for BV. All in all a good nights entertainment for the cameras.

Phil The Ace Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Great to have speedway back, enjoyed that, was an ok meeting and i wont take anything from anyones form form after 18 months away, need to give them a few meetings at least. Expect Batch to score poorly for a few weeks till his average is low enough for championship, by that time he will be replaced by holder at 1 and bang in some points for sheffield.

It was broadside when I was a kid and it's never changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There maybe an element of truth regards Batch, only riding in the UK, doing only meetings in the Premiership cannot be viable for him. Jack Holder has been on fire last season and the start of this season in Poland, so I expected him take the number 1 spot or get close.

I was of the understanding that the qualification for doubling up was set against the average at the start of the season and therefore Batch is not eligible this year regardless of what his average falls too.....

If the normal rules apply, all riders that have an average and ridden in meetings from the 17th to 23rd inclusive will be updated on the 1st June.

Might be saving them a few quid too if Batchelor doesnt score too heavily in the first month given he will be one of the top earners.. Having their 'perfect septet' for play off time will be their aim.. Holder at 1 and the rest can get moved around as and when.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
