Track was in really good condition tonight. Fair play for that. 
 

they gave us a thrashing tonight. Out gated and out raced 

I think you caught us on a good night. All 7 did their job efficiently. Did you notice there were no track grades throughout the meeting ? Makes you wonder if all the tractor racing we get is really necessary at every track. !!!!!

Has no-one noticed that every member of the Sheffield team scored a bonus point (except Connor Mountain - he scored 4!) Has that ever been done before?

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. 

 

 

Poole did it when we rode at Kirky Lane, a lot of clubs do it such as wolves against the stars. Difficult to level this at Belle Vue unless we have been doing it all year at Owlerton as we have scored a consistent 33,36 & 37 when losing to the tigers. 

Clubs that do this show little respect to the paying supporters or should that be the appropriate level of respect to current fans? Speedway is at a point now that is fully deserved for most of its customer base. Very sad. 

BTW, the Aces weren’t lowering their averages in the 55-23 defeat, it’s not how we operate, unless you’re also of the opinion that we were dropping our average when the Bees dumped us out of the cup later in the season with home and away wins 44-34 & 38-40. Bammy, if he said it, was pulling your leg as we had a few maulings that year.
