Panther1997 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Travelling over for this before hopefully Leicester tonight, any update on the weather, I see Belle Vue haven’t put a preview up which is kind of worrying me, that it might be in doubt?

There’s a preview on the Sheffield site and Kurtz named at number 1 for the Aces Are there any weather updates ?

TBH with you. Weather took a right turn for the worse with rain most morning. and with us most likely using rr at one against Sheffield a postponement is belle vues easiest decision to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Lemo made a point of congratulating him on his GP qualification in the same sentence as saying he wouldn't be riding because of injury.

He spent a lot of money to travel to aus and do the championships and and ride in that oceana meeting to qualify for it. I don’t blame him for giving it a go. if you saw the meeting Saturday you would see he could hardly walk and get in and off the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Was thinking of coming across for this but the forecast has put me off! Shame as I have yet to see a meeting at the NSS - maybe SWC or whatever it’s called nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optics just don't look when he scored well, and qualified to the next stage of the World Championship, riding in an event between two Aces fixtures that he's missing through injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Huge pressure on Bewley and Lidsey. Think it will be still very close as BV reserves will score more than tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 This has been going on for years, I remember Peter Collins finishing second in a world final then missing subsequent Belle Vue fixtures with injury. Sheffield should win this but we’ll still qualify so it doesn’t matter, which btw is what a lot of former fans realised since the play offs came in. Saves them doing a complete season and provides big crowds for the final - right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, on days like today, Saves me around £100 as the result will be largely irrelevant in the context of a top four finish.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the amount of seats left in the grandstand currently, it may not be a bad result.. For a BHM meeting v Sheffield it is very surprising... SON and BF ticket costs impacting the Aces' "bread and butter" meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
