Phil The Ace Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 At least they got a decent replacement and not a NL rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a guess that there will be no reserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryM Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Would you know the format tonight Phil? Is it 20 heats, top 2 scorers straight to Final and then 3rd-6th in a semi-final? Or did I read somewhere it's a 6 man final? If so, how does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 What a great meeting this was. A great way to end a good aces season with Dan winning. Dan was the quickest there and deserved it. Was good to see fricke again, he borrowed parts of everyone and just put 1 bike together, so did well to get third. The race he beat Dan on he was actually on crump bike. Great to also see crump, his score diddnt look to much but I think he did alright. The young German shown alot of promise and if I was lemon hes another I'd be asking to sign as we could need some 4 pointers. He was always in thick of thr action Harris what can I say. Some super riding and passes. Proper legend him Morris was putting himself in the shop window also, rode very well and had a great ride in 1 going last to first Every race had action and it had a belle vue winner. Cant ask for any more. I've put the 6 rider final on my social media @philtheace on twitter. Go take a look. Was a good race 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Excellent meeting with a most pleasing result with Dan winning. Nick Morris rode out of his skin….best I have seen him ride. Another good meeting for Tom Brennan. Jordan Palin rode well even though he did not score well Chris Harris… super racing as expected… bet Berwick are licking their lips at seeing him next year. Max rode well on his bitsabike. What a way to se the season out…. 3 great meetings SON and PCMT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 That's me done for 2021, was thinking about the Olympique tomorrow, but the line-up looks a bit 2nd rate... and what a way to finish 2021! SoN x 2 and this. Just about every race had something and the 6 rider final was quite spectacular, the people of Manchester are so lucky to have this facility on their door step, yet I thought the crowd was quite disappointing, hardly surprising when the event had very little promotion. I don't know why Fricke was scratching around for bike parts as he was only riding at BV 6 days ago, personally I think it's a bit sad watching Crumpy ride unable to win races and for me the sooner he calls it quits the better. One thing I must comment on, having attended 3 matches at the NSS in 6 days, is the meeting presentation could be a bit better, specifically the music that is played, it was identical for all 3 events and just sounds like a mix tape that has been put together at the beginning of the season and is just played through the meeting with the same songs in the same order and all of the tracks are a bit "niche", no fan favourite party anthems.

keepturningleft Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 More amazing racing from the NSS but I think six man races are a huge mistake. Given the high speeds of the NSS, the potential for serious carnage is not acceptable, bearing in mind we saw two dreadful accidents just seven days previously. I thought the idea of six man races had been put to bed years ago and in fact wasn't it Mark Loram for one, who refused to take part in them. Also, it's nigh on impossible to keep track of who's who in a six man race. Ironically, one of the last meetings at Hyde Road, the Ivan Mauger farewell, used 6 man races at the instigation of Ivan himself I believe. It was deemed not succesful at the time. 4 riders is the tradition - please stop fixing things that aren't broken. Agree with the above poster about the music especially given the average age of the crowd. Ok we don't expect Yellow River by Christie but it can't be hard to find a compromise. Enough of the negatives, the NSS is a phenomenal race track and we are so lucky to have it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Well done Dan.... the odds on favourite brings home the bacon for the Belle Vue fans. :-) Iainb mentions the attendance .... maybe folks are skint after attending so many meetings in the past several days. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
