Flappy Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Problem with wolves is they need 2-3 changes but they'll consistently make the play offs without them but won't win anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will attack the track more than Wolves though. Wolves looked beaten from the start tonight. As I expect us to get beat comfortably at Owlerton, I expect us to win comfortably at the NSS. Will be an interesting one as no lead will be safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In watching these three play offs it seems it is now 'in your face' and I felt I was actually watching it dying this painful death on TV for all to see. Actually Mr Clemens I've been watching this meeting from a computer screen on holiday in SW Scotland and couldn't agree with you moreI have a wonderful view from my holiday cottage towards the Island of Arran and found it more appealing than watching this meeting online 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 No surprises tonight, Wolves only made the play-offs by default tbh. Whole team was built wrong from Day 1, Two out of depth reserves put immense pressure on the 1-5 to outscore the oppositions 1-5 every week and that was never going to happen.

Wright, Brennan, Etheridge and Blodorn will then need to get 10 to 12 from their 16 races.. Blodorn at Owlerton will be better than he would be at Wolves I would say, and could be a good card to play.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I gave up after heat 10 and watched something else, I get Eurosport with my sky subscription , I can honestly say if I had to pay extra I wouldn’t bother. The GP,s haven’t been a lot better either, apart from one or two they have been borefests as well. The sport is on its arse at the moment and the TV coverage isn’t helping. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Well the P.Offs (P/Ship and C/ship) so far have certainly captured my imagination. Both edge of the seat stuff. In fact I have nearly fell off my seat in the lounge at every meeting only to be woken up by me wife. Certainly the most important BSPA conference in the history of the sport will be looking to build on the great success of this season. It has been truly breathtaking and all supporters must be tyred out watching the action, anlas you are a Peterborough supporter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch it on sky and the difference with what I saw then and what I am seeing now is unbelievable. The Sky presentation was highly professional but when I watched the meeting that was rained off, I couldn't believe how amateurish the whole presentation was, compared to Sky. The interesting thing being most of those who were involved with Sky are doing it for Eurosport!!! The actual racing wasn't much better in the meetings that ran, there seems to be a 'tired' air about it all, as though it doesn't really matter who wins this league. It's a shame because I love my speedway, but I get the impression that if you are not prepared to accept any drivel that's served up then you are not a real speedway supporter. In other words, this is the 'viscious speedway circle' leading to the ultimate demise of the sport as an option of interest to any organisation looking to get involved in real heavy duty sponsorship. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Have not caught up with the meeting yet, but I can't help but feel this is what you get when you run the play offs in late September early October. Damp and cold and riders and fans would rather be elsewhere. Everybodys enthusiasm is waning at this time of year. Get the play off done on the August Bank Holiday when hopefully, the weather and tracks are still good and fans go into the winter remembering speedway with the sun on their backs rather than speedway getting a cold and trench foot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Same Steve Worral at Wolves as he was at BV. Can jump put of the start and win a race but then goes missing when you need him the most. Good gater at times but can't remember him ever coming from the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodorn at Owlerton will be better than he would be at Wolves I would say, and could be a good card to play.. I can't see Aces getting 40 at Owlerton! Three visits, three drubbings. Lambert is not super human, if he gets 11 from 5 that will all anyone can expect at a track he hasn't visited for years. Expect nothing from Etheridge and Brennan, if Brennan pops out the start in heat 8 he might win it but Kerr was riding determined tonight. If Blodorn gets to grip with the track he could be a surprise, no evidence of that on previous visits but he did figure out Foxhall on his most recent visit. If Zagar and Kurtz manage double figures that would be more than I'd expect. Wright should be the the trump card, as he's probably done more laps of Owlerton than all the home riders except Howarth, but I can't see it.

Beowulf Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Well done to the Tigers (we were very poor, and consign the result to history ). However, the most important thing is that the Tigers give it their all in the final. After all who wants to see a league won by threatened legal action ? The Aces may feel that they are right according to the actual wording of the laws, but without doubt they are outside the spirit of the laws that they complained about in 2016. Hypocrites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 With the manipulation of the rules that have appears to have happened over the years, what’s one more….that is if it is a manipulation of the rules. maybe the legal bods at BV are standing up to manipulation but it’s not seen by everyone.
