Lions on the other hand 2 finals (at CL level) won 1 lost 1 (at KL!). So by my calculations Lions have a 50% success rate, while the Aces have an 80% failure rate... so maybe you do win the percentages 😁 One frustrating fact about The Aces is they have way more silver medals than anyone else. Yes, we have way more gold as well and I suppose you have to be up there challenging to come second but there’s still been plenty of heartache to go along with the joy. I didn’t think we’d ever win the play offs due to our regular injuries at that time so the win in 2022 was most welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be there to bottle it, I'd rather have a recent history of coming second, then not get there at all. Even with a 29 year gap of titles were still 3 clear of second place Poole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceBelle Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 if it's called off again Monday? it's doubtful it will go ahead Thursday because fricke kurtz Lidsey are in the GP Challenge Friday in Czech Republic they may have to be there early doubtful they will turn up on the day that's if there is a flight to Czech on Friday morning? and the meeting starts 5-15 UK time it's a FIM event so it takes priority 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
