mikebv Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Another cracking meeting at the NSS... Got to get a GP soon surely.. The top lads tonight showed when racing together just how many lines you can use (safely), at full pelt... Brady Kurtz for a GP wild card around there (or Charles Wright), and you would have top quality entertainment guaranteed.. Crowd looked very decent too.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problem, mind you, it was 2weeks 2 days ago, that is the Saturday before the original meeting being rained off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) A very good meeting, plenty of exciting racing even if it wasn’t for a race win. The meeting was very slick too. I like the 5 rider semi, and the 6 rider final Only thing there I would change is make the 5 rider semi 5 laps, and the 6 rider final 6 laps. I like the presentation of the final….. finalist coming out as passengers on big bikes, and then being able to chose their own gate. Overall presentation was better than GP presentations, IMO. Well done Belle Vue, and thanks to ALL the riders for making a great meeting. 22 races with very good competitive racing., in 2.5 hours. If every speedway meeting was held as good as that, presentation and racing, then maybe speedway in the uk could start attracting sponsors and crowds. And thank you to BSN for streaming the meeting. Quality I found to be very good, and the presenters/interviewers were all professional. Well done BSN Edited April 3, 2023 by OveFundinFan 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry1603 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 An excellent meeting with many great races. Doyle was a worthy winner, as several others could easily have taken it, but his experience of GP finals may have helped when it counted. The 5 rider semi / 6 rider final worked well and the BV staff deserve great credit for the slick presentation. Not sure about the reason to give the two track reserves two 'match races' but that's being picky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I enjoyed the meeting the highways agency soiled the night. M56 shut, can't get on M6 South off A56 so have to go up a junction to come back. If more than half the M6 South was more than 1 lane I'd be surprised. Gave up at Stoke and went on A roads. Be warned Aces fans in Manchester, M6 North looked worse! You're at Monmore next week. Congratulations to Doyle, despite hoping for a British winner. Harris is strange, resists Lambert then changes bikes to one which fails to get off the line. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M6 has been an ongoing nightmare for years, had many problems with closures etc when driving down to Cornwall over the past few years, think i will use the A34 Monday as there is plenty of time to get to Monmore.

They don't usually start the closures until 10:30, so if I attend a league match at the NSS which finishes by 9:20 I can usually beat them. But for that reason I won't be attending any televised meetings this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) A highly entertaining night of Speedway entertainment, meeting run really slick, I didn't care much for the faffing around before the final, OK if you're in the main stand not much doing on the back straight in the cheap seats though. 5 and 6 rider races around the NSS is truly a sight to behold! If I had to have a minor gripe (and of course I do ) I found it difficult to identify the Aces in the final with 4 of them racing around in pretty much identical race suits, but that is minor. Overall a brilliant nights racing in a meeting that is fast becoming probably the 2nd most prestigious individual meeting to win in the UK and the winner seemed pretty happy to win also, which tells you something. Hopefully Harris was using this meeting as a test session if not with the form of Sedgeman and Fricke it looks like it may be a long season for Leicester! Glad I made the decision to travel home across the pennines and not down the M6! Why the British road system shuts down at 10pm these days is a right pain in the arse for the travelling sports fan.

OveFundinFan Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Well, crowds are depleted at British speedway, we all acknowledge that. Many have said speedway needs to be a show to attract younger ones to come and see a show, not just to see 22 minutes of racing (15 if it’s a league match). BV did something last night to give more value for money. Introduced riders to the crowds via passengers on Harley Davidsons and at the start line up. Chase the Ace always works had. The whole meeting was very slickly run (no delays), a 5 rider semi, and a 6 rider final. I think that was pretty good show from BV, yet there is criticism. Anyone with some positive critisism ? Something that promotors can do to make a live meeting more attractive on a regular basis, but not costing a fortune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking for an argument but 8 old men going round the track on some Triumph motorbikes is not going to get the kids to come through the turnstiles... making the riders available for photo's with their bikes in full clobber etc pre-meeting would maybe help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Really enjoyed that, the racing improved after a slow start. A fair bit of rustiness on show but a competitive meeting with the cream rising to the top in the later stages. Always a great speedway experience and night out at the NSS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
