TTT Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 18 hours ago, foreverblue said: All depends on Doyle and Emil being fully fit to race on full power but even on full power Kurtz and Bewley will be tough to beat home or away. Brennan is the key rider, I would fancy him to beat Lidsey, Ellis should beat Blodorn and King should beat Zach at Ipswich but at Belle Vue may be a different story. I can see Zichke beating Thompson at belle Vue but could be the other way round at Ipswich, Jenkins should beat Mulford home and away. Overall I don't see much between the teams and a few ifs and buts so it will be close. The one key factor that it could come down to is Zischke never doing a lap around a tricky Foxhall circuit.

I think he will be pretty good at Belle Vue but Ipswich can be tricky for the inexperienced although he wont be short of advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley can be up and down at Foxhall despite being quoted last year as saying he loves racing round there just doesn’t seem to score consistently. kurtz for me has been the best away rider at Foxhall for a good few years now tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzac Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 3 hours ago, Baldyman said: If Ipswich is tricky,, good job these riders don't have to visit lakeside, wolves and Eastbourne anymore then Slightly off topic, but with the above I do think a lot of riders of all levels are swayed with so called trick(y) tracks and are mentally beaten before they ride them. Remember at Arlington seeing it both ways, even in our NL days, some were beaten before they rode there, but remember Adam Ellis, Ellis Perks, and and others getting to grips( no pun intended) straight away. Obviously exceptional, but Dan Bewley's one meeting there early days in the NL saw him flirt with the fence in his first race, then win the next 4 and look amazing. Think it is probably a worse situation now, most can ride on the block, but don't have the throttle skills of riders gone by. Think it maybe partly the reason Tom Brennen has risen above the others of his era, honed his skill as a nipper at Arlington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t remember lidsey ever looking particularly fast or comfortable at Foxhall tbh - maybe wrong. Blodorn has done an ok job as a second string/reserve for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted Friday at 11:13 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:13 AM Kurtz is usually decent at Foxhall if he gets out of te gate e is difficult to get past - he's beaten by Jason and Emil in the last couple of years. I think Zach Cook had a really good meeting for Wolves as well a couople of years ago at reserve scored 10+ i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely it does and not just the supporters either. At the end of the day, this is sport, it’s win or lose and it’s competitive. Ask Chris Louis off record if he’s bothered if Ipswich finally win the title or not.. Indeed - but the winners don't actually win very much ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Hi, this is my first post here, and this is going to be my first team speedway match for about 25 years. Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of travel advice - I'm trying to get back to Liverpool on the train after. I'm planning to come to as many as I can this year so I'm trying out ways of doing it. 7.30 start What sort of time is it likely to finish? 25min bus journey to Picadilly there's a train at 10, last one at 10.47 Do you think this is feasible or ridiculous? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Another thing to do is. if you have Facebook. Join my unofficial belle Vue aces fans page https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BxBV4XQjb/?mibextid=wwXIfr Do a post on there to see if anyone else travels from Liverpool and hopefully you will find someone who you could share trips with.

tom Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Brilliant, thanks both of you. I'll see how it goes this week. Sounds like there's a good chance of the first train, definitely the second one. (I haven't been on Facebook for quite a few years but I'll bear that in mind too, thanks). Cheers.
