TTT Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 28 minutes ago, ouch said: It’s the same team that won the league but with Zach (5.57) instead of Ben 6.99 due to rules. Will a 1.42 drop make a huge difference to our ability to qualify? Zach finished strongly against some tough teams whilst in the main body of the side. In his last 3+3 meetings he averaged 6.40. Carry on like that and it limits the damage to our title winning team. BV will make the play-offs for sure, Always will due to the NSS form. Zach for Ben is a big drop off imo, Zach's a good rider but Ben's home form was mustard (Had more 1st places then 2nd, 3rd and 4th's) Big shoes to fill.

Then you get tossed on to the scrap heap in a purely tactical move. Out of around 10 teams that have put or left Connor on the scrap heap over the last few seasons, just one is continually being vilified for it. The fact it’s the only team to have offered him any top flight meetings (just a few less than previous seasons) since 2022 is BSF trolling at its finest. 2019 Left on the scrap heap 2021 Kings Lynn 16 then dropped 2022 Sheffield 18 then dropped 2023 Left on the scrap heap 2024 Belle Vue 13 then dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a good point there about Ben at the NSS. The general opinion on here is that we easily beat opponents around there due to many factors so sacrificing a few points means we still win but don’t hammer teams. Zach’s away average was actually higher than Bens so hopefully that will help turn some of those close losses into wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Zach is better at Foxhall than Ben. And easily so. Zach’s worst Foxhall performance ironically was when he guested FOR Ipswich. As an away rider, been generally good. So if the two meet in the play offs, Belle Vue will be stronger at Foxhall next year. Think Zach will soon get dialled in at the NSS too. Most do when they have that as their home track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great to get an Aces v Witches final. When you remember the titanic semi final of ‘23 with THAT heat 15. Terrific stuff, it would be get to see those four riders going for it again in a final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
