Odds On Posted Tuesday at 08:18 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:18 AM any chance of holding the second leg back at Belle Vue?...by far the best track in the league and would be another great spectacle for the sport, as opposed to the dross that will be served up at Sheffield.

Interestingly, if you look at the live updates threads from bank holiday monday, the updaters that day had more races down as 'from the gate' at Belle Vue than at Sheffield. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted Tuesday at 08:30 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:30 AM Hope BV can put up 40 just to make the Grand Final spectacle worth watching for one leg of the Grand Final unfortunately I think they'll fall just short though. Howarth, Pickering & Bomber won't ride like that at Owlerton and Sheffield will win the reserve battle imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s with the slagging of owlerton again the NSS is a great racetrack but if the opposition come to owlerton and have a go the racing is good standard. Harris rides our track well I suspect he’ll stay at number 5 and ride better than first leg. Picko and Chris is the key partnership they need heat advantages whenever they ride together. Lidsey and Cook not been convincing at all so far this season when visiting Sheffield. prediction, Sheff to win superheat 🤩 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted Tuesday at 08:43 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:43 AM Don’t think 12 points will be enough for the Aces. Holders and Pickering very consistent round Owlerton… it’s theirs to lose in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fast close races but very little passing, standard for NSS, people get excited about close finishes when riders in front rolling off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted Tuesday at 08:50 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:50 AM In their 12 home League fixtures Sheffield have scored 619 points so averaging 51.58 points per meeting. The 2 league meetings v Belle Vue scored 110 points averaging 55 points per meeting so it’s definitely an achievable target to get the 52 points needed to go through to the Grand Final 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted Tuesday at 09:03 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:03 AM Gating competition. Sheffields gating gloves seeing them through to a mouthwatering final with Leicester. A ray of light for fans tuning in is I won’t be watching and whenever I don’t watch it’s a great meeting apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience watching the playoffs it is very hard to pull a lead back. Even 8 points can be challenging. It is just different to normal league aggregate meetings. BV know they can just sit on 3-3s and frustrate Sheffield and then they over try and potentially get excluded from crashing or causing them etc. Edited Tuesday at 09:21 AM by lisa-colette 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few chats with his brother over the years who is a nice guy and of course he would support his brother with any criticism but they do seem poles apart in their attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, his hot head brothers nearly cost him that night. Crumpy had the sense to get him away from the situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
