Domt think the Aces will need to worry about crowds.. If the top league doesnt generate enough by riding Monday, I would suggest riding Div 2 on a Friday or a Saturday night could deliver even more.. Similar to Leicester who seem to get more now than when they had Doyle and rode in Div 1, but couldn't ride Saturdays.. As if you'll get Friday's lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Parry is of course is a ex Wolves rider and team manager. After posting this I noticed none of the club's who's adverts I see on social media seem to list the visiting teams main club sponsor. I remember one season in the early 90's Belle Ace were the Belle Vue Lookers Piccadilly Gold Aces according to the Cradley program, it didn't fit in the column!

TTT Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Belle Vue are finally starting to do what I was expecting them to do ever since Zagar was signed (BEASTING) Took a few meetings to get going but the team is now starting to click.

PhilTheAce Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Finally beat the nemesis. Happy with that. was the best meeting this year there. Some good fast close racing.

Didn't come across great on the radio then, was some great races, heat 13 was a classic all 4 riders together and went from a 5-1 to Wolves to 5-1 to Belle Vue. Plenty of other great races too.

SUPERACE Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Was a really good meeting, heat 13 was fantastic. I felt belle vue had a gear or 2 to give and should of won by more, great win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted June 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Best meeting I've watched for some time, some great races when four riders enter the back straight in lap one and "You could chuck an army blanket over them" and impossible to predict who will emerge in front entering turn 3. Of course Matej Zagar missed it, he was superb and only troubled once by Becker in his final ride when the American almost sneaked through on the inside of the final turn. In fairness to the Aces #3 I suspect the track had changed from his previous ride which is what caught him out. Fricke's pass of Morrris in his 2nd ride was superb, forced him wide which allowed Etherigde through also, and the dive up in inside of Matsers to start the third lap in heat 13 was also impressive. Masters managed to go from first to last somehow in that race. Kurtz had a decent night but was outshone by the Aces two other heat leaders, Wright had a night to forget, strange fall in his second ride. Etheridge needlessly gave away a point to Becker in his final ride. Brennan was up & down, won heat 8, good battle with the Wolves reserves in heat 2 but couldn't get past Flint, while holding off Kemp. Missed out on a point to Kemp later on when after diving under him entering turn 2 lost momentum as he lifted on the back straight. Blodorn won heat 2 comfortably and was in the mix in heat 14 before his engine gave up. For Wolves I thought Becker & Kemp deserved more points than they managed, Kermp really needs to learn to gate. Masters & Worrall delivered the traditional away team 1-5 in heat 1 but then they didn't win a heat again for what seemed a long time as Aces dominated, grabbed a few 2-4's towards the end once the result was no longer in doubt. Morris hadn't looked quick suspect injury R/R did as much as he'd have scored. Why did tactical genius Peter Adams put a TS against Zagar? Fool. Douglas, Flint & Worrall did OK, Worrall will surely be disappointed to concede a 5-1 in heat 8. Highways England obviously knew Wolves were at the NSS tonight, so many bloody lane closures (and reduced speed limit) on the M6! No NSS premiership until July now, when the Aces look to restore some Roses pride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? 2 hours ago, TTT said: Belle Vue are finally starting to do what I was expecting them to do ever since Zagar was signed (BEASTING) Took a few meetings to get going but the team is now starting to click. They weren't that good. The customary 1-5 was coughed up in heat 1, although at least Fricke looked interested in passing a Wolf & tried as few different lines. Wright had a night to forget, Etheridge & Brennan leaked a few points. Would have put Fricke rather than Kurtz in eat 15 myself. 1 hour ago, Beowulf said: I wasn't there, so cannot disagree with you, but listening to Radio WM, it seemed mainly from the gate, with not much passing. I have never listened to speedway on the radio, must be hard to commentate on, just watching I missed why Wright fell and I missed couple of "photo finishes" for a point in heats 10 & 12. Tennis & Football on the radio I can follow, Rugby Union & Ice Hockey are impossible to explain on a radio broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think winning makes us see meetings different. I enjoyed heat 1 then was a bit bored upto the last 5/6 heats . The heats that were good were very good but there was a fair number from the gate races but we were getting well beaten Similar to the Heathens at Mildenhall, I could never understand the great little race track comments. But we always got beat fairly easily there which probably went to me not getting it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
