Grachan Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Well, if anyone questions why the top British riders opt out of the UK to concentrate on Poland, I think we saw why last night. Lambert was a class above all the others - even Jason Doyle. No matter about the rights and the wrongs of Belle Vue bringing him in at this stage of the season he was great to watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Noticed a few sombreros on the terraces. How did this Madchester Mexican thing originate? Saw Swindon up there years ago, a bunch of foul-mouthed chanting Sombrero-wearing buggers. Superb from Lambert and Zagar, Doyle met his match. Ipswich totally outclassed. Good to see Swindon lad Brennan and Wootton Bassett boy Rowe. Seemed a good attendance last night, and great race track compared to Wolves.

Not sure many DO think it’s better to use guests actually. Supporters don’t make the rules and plenty don’t agree with a lot of them. The issue is expecting clubs to keep to the rules that they’ve all agreed to whether you agree with them or not. They have kept to the rules.

One thing is for certain, he didn't just turn up for a paycheck tonight. He turn up because of the size of the paycheque.The opposition was not a problem,let’s face it he only had Doyle to beat.

We could actually count the number of fans on the back straight. Be lucky to have had 12-1400 in the whole stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 It may be in here somewhere, but to save me going through what I’m guessing is 23 pages of Belle Vue cheated v.

Be lucky to have had 12-1400 in the whole stadium. For starters over 1000 advanced ticket sales in grandstand. Probably 100 more on day if not more. The craven was full that holds about 200 about 600 in south stand last night at a gues. Easily over 1500 there but still small for a semi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started in 2004 season which was a very wet summer and Belle Vue had lot of meetings rained off, group of fans turned it into Mexico as bit of fun. The sombreros tend to only come out for playoffs now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Let's hope Belle Vue actually turn up to the final this season unlike when they lost to 6 mobility scooters and a kid on a skateboard last year 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hancock first rode for Poole on 5 August 2013 and completed 4 home and 3 away meetings before the play offs. Hardly being signed “just for the play offs” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Good to see Lambert back in the UK (regardless of circumstances) - will he be back next season tho? Witches tried in the opening half of the meeting but fell away badly as the night progressed - they were out of it and it showed sadly! If its a Sheffield v Bv final I will certainly attend the Owlerton leg Edited October 4, 2022 by GeneralMelchett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that bizarrely BSF get off on as it weakens their rivals. Bit sick if you ask me but everyone’s different I suppose. The worse thing about that particular season was Middlo forcing his riders out onto a dangerous rain effected track he himself said was bad. My low opinion of him dropped even lower as I still had poor Chris’ incident in my mind. All for a bit of silverware, shocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
