If they'd started at 12, as advertised, they'd have got this in, no bother... 10 minutes per race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. To be fair to Collins he did have a broken leg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Whats the more important, Belle Vue trying to get a win or rider safety? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 (edited) It's a new first for me... I've never seen them blading a track while it's pissing it down with rain! Edited May 27 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Apart from the tigers and witches it looks like nobody else wants to a play off place at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 why did they not start bang on at 12 ? When racing did get under way, even after track work there seemed no urgency, ref should of put the 2 mins on a soon as last race was finished, I get belle vue want to carry on and the current track work does like it finally making a difference from the last downpour, why have they only got one tractor driver ? the conditions were not great until around heat 8, hopefully after watching around an hour of tractor we will get to see another 5 heats, the sun is out now but there are still dark clouds around,on the racing side, passing is none existent as visibility is bad and Sheffield are quicker out of the starts and deserve to be ahead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Not a good look for the BV management at all. This should be the incentive they needed to cancel these stupid lunchtime meetings altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what time you start them as long as you start them on time and get the meeting moving along once you do with the threat of rain around... none of this happened 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 (edited) I can't help but think that if this match was against any other team than Sheffield it would probably have been called an hour ago Edited May 27 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
