Some light rain this evening though but no more than that. I honestly don’t think you’ve much to worry about tomorrow night. Assuming Robert Lambert gets 15, which he should, you obviously only need 25 from the rest. 8 each from Zagar and Kurtz, plus 4 from Brennan is 20. Blodorn will pick up a few and Simon Lambert is an upgrade on Etheridge round Owlerton. I see it being close but those last few heat advantages on Monday night have probably edged it in your favour. Its a shame it’s not both of our usual teams lining up against each other but at this stage of the year we know that’s highly unlikely! Good and fair post, I'm as keen as any fellow Aces supporters to see them finally break the hoodoo and lift the silverware but equally I want to see decent evening's racing, hopefully in the balance until the closing heats, obviously a Belle Vue aggregate victory would be so good to see. I know there's a couple who think we've already lost and I can see where they are coming from, years of disappointment at the final knockings take their toll. Keep the faith people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINYS Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Sheffield finished higher in the league than Belle Vue so they deserve to win, play offs are just a money spinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as he is, Lambert ain't getting 15 on a track he hasn't been to for five years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I expect about 11-12 from his 5 rides. It's not as easy to pass on as the NSS. And 5 years is a long time.

I fully expect him him to score 12-15 or so of course an EF or crash could ruin it but i've seen him ride there admittedly it was 2015 or 16 but he wont be scared to have a good go! Tigers need a couple of early heat advantages then its game on, Zagar wasnt all that when i saw him at Owlerton earlier this year and Brennan struggled as well, the key man is Kurtz if he shows up and scores well the Aces might well nick it!

Neila Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Noticed on Monday nite, belle Vue rider's seemed to struggle out of the gate, no problems passing on the belle Vue circuit, but think it will be a lot harder at Sheffield to pass,if they miss the gate, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum posting rules say only the Monmore Green track can be criticised, and no other. Keep to the rules and everything will be fine. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been to Monmore Green for years but one of the best meetings I ever saw was the 2005 Playoff draw with Ipswich and then Max won the ride off!

PhilTheAce Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Whatever happens tonight. May the best team win. And no weather will play a part in either meeting. So maybe October play offs do work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckerroo Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Zagar the key to the meeting, excellent and combative when on it, infuriatingly cba when hes not, not the best gater either . 11 or so from him and the aces sneak to 40, 5 or 6 and they dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 It will be interesting to see how many Robert Lambert gets tonight. Undoubtedly the best rider on view, but his gating hasn't been great, and Sheffield doesn't have as many overtaking lines as Belle Vue offers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
