Maybe they could step in and ride the Jubilee Trophy final for whoever it is that doesn't want to stage it :D

Maybe that is why the season is planned to be done by the end of September..

As it leaves 31 days in October to fit this prestigious event in... ;)

Belle Vue had better get their act together pretty quick, as they have three away meetings before meeting Peterborough at home on the 24th April. They could see themselves well adrift at the bottom of the table.

They only need to be 4th from bottom come play off time...

Then they can bring Lambo/#aceslegend back to retain their title so deservedly, and fairly, won last year...;):D

Our team is based on Lidsey stepping up to 3rd heat leader. A spot he should be more than capable of.  To do that he must do better away from home, so our season hinges on him. If he doesn’t step upto the plate then belle Vue got 3 reserves in Lidsey, blodorn and the RS obviously. Brennan got me is a 2nd string now. 
 

last night though was hopefully a bad day at the office. I’ve not seen us that bad for a long time. 
 

thanks goes to rowe who I though battled hard.  And deffo put himself in the shop window for a permanent RS position 

Can’t see Lidsey being a heat leader he is same level as Brennan over here 

You had to break up a title winning side but you have lost Fricke(Lambert) Zagar and Etheridge and replaced with Bewley, Lidsey and Mulford … makes you much weaker

Lidsey didn't have a good season in poland last year hopefully things will turn around for him.

Dan needs to find some form also

he has been a big disappointment in all the matches so far

I will be there always am, but due to the score it's not the best meeting to fill a big bank holiday slot, should made this the league meeting and had the cup match a few weeks later instead of league fixture A.

Dan's starting technique is pretty awful to be honest...

Proper MX style..

Craig Cook has a similar way of gating which has obviously worked for him domestically...

Dan says he has put some "muscle weight" on, so maybe he isn't getting  out of the starts with that upright, 'lift feet up and go' style that he has, the same as he did when a bit lighter..

It doesn't need too many extra pounds for inertia to play it's part at the starting gate given how important every first few yards are to the overall result..

Sometimes, it looks like he goes upwards rather than forwards as the back wheel seems to bounce in the air... 

The Polish faithful won't be as forgiving as the UK fans given so much more rides on his performances over there, so hopefully Dan can sort his early season issues out..

Always great to watch from the back so hopefully he soon starts to get to the second bend 'just behind' rather than a fair distance off, thus giving himself a chance of 3 points, and us fans a chance to watch a true generational talent on a bike..

There's no reason to change the league date. I'm glad they are racing the cup tie sharpish, stops other teams having to wait ages to play the winners in the next round.

If a league match is postponed, clubs will work very hard to find a date before the cut-off. Cup not so much!

We've now got two consecutive home matches v. Wolves anyway  - and both are Bank Holidays.

Take your point re: the KO Cup match not being very attractive though. Have spoken to a chap today who bought 4 tickets for his family for Easter Monday. He's now not bothering with the KO Cup match but swapping those tickets for tickets for the league match on the next Bank Holiday.

Agreed, and being a BHM it means the first leg score could have a lesser impact on the crowd than a non BHM would...

A good call from the Aces..
