TTT Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Belle Vue's attempt to buy a trophy may backfire drastically, Must be paying out ridiculous money this year. Abysmal showings around Sheffield, Would fancy Ipswich to batter them around Foxhall too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Whenever it is the Witches should aim to get as close to 15 points as possible With just 10 meetings making up 2023 averages 0 from 5 or 6 rides for a couple of riders will make a huge difference to how attractive they are as signings for next season... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustington Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 This match reminds me of a Coventry v belle vue match in 1983. Coventry won 55 - 23 and we were told by Stuart bamforth before the match that belle vue would be trying to reduce their averages. Three weeks later in the league Cup final they drew 39 - 39. Friends of ours who followed by all over the country never went again after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
