Booyaa Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 http://www.wolverhampton-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3408 Announcement from Wolves. All very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I feel this has been decided above the promoters. Logistics from the TV cameras and teams only being able to ride on certain days 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Also if we come the top, surely we have the right to choose if we want the first meeting at home..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 On no planet would Wolves pick Peterborough that's for sure. Something very iffy going on imo. Belle Vue 40 - 50 WOLVES Belle Vue 41 - 49 WOLVES WOLVES 48 - 42 Belle Vue WOLVES 49 - 41 Belle Vue But they're trying to convince people that Wolves wanted to face Peterborough.

Panthers99 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Only British Speedway can struggle to get a 6 team league finished in the required team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 All to do with logistics, Belle Vue Sheffield, closer for fans to travel = larger crowds. Same with Wolves and P/Bora. Very unfair on Wolves or P/Bora, depending on who of the 2 finish top, as the choice has been taken away from them. Still think Wolves have enough in reserve to beat P/Bora over the 2 legs, then finish the campaign as champs by beating the winner of the other semi. Hope I am wrong as on paper Belle Vue look the strongest through my rose tintered glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I presume it's a big thank you to Eurosport for ensuring the fans know 48 hours earlier than expected as to when the meetings will actually take place ? As a Wolves fan I'm off to arrange a further delivery of clay to Alwalton! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair CVS has stated he wanted the first leg first and Peterborough have said they wanted the second leg so that’s pretty clear cut to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Harris, Andersen and Nicholls are track specialists. On the other hand we are generally awful at Alwalton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem strange why pick the one team that has shown to be the most difficult to beat at Monmore ,surely you would prefer to face that team in the final at least Much the same as Peterborough with Belle Vue Edited September 22, 2021 by scoobydoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this press release contains as much truth as the one we get each year after the AGM's telling us how wonderful things are in the sport & how everyone was "on the same page". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that Sheffield will be riding their home leg 4 days after they last rode at home. BV will be riding their home leg 3 and a half weeks after they last rode at home. Could be a leveller.

tellboy Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) What looked to becoming a great end to the season with Sheffield and Belle Vue showing a bit of form to challenge Peterborough and Wolves.Still could be a great end.But it has been tarnished imo with this announcement.No way would Wolves have picked Peterborough.Peterborough may have picked Wolves but that's not up for discussion until the league top spot has been sorted.That won't be until tomorrow. I like how CVS said it is prudent to get the dates known to maximise time for fans,riders etc to prepare for the ties.When was the last time they ever cared about the fans when changing/sorting dates.
