Has all that enthusiasm gone now  

Absolutely no need for it to be, Lynn would have won that at a canter without three enormous slices of bad fortune. Nothing to be concerned about as disappointing as the final score was.

But that's speedway. Belle Vue did the necessary in heats 12 & 14 to set up the win when those heats really ought to have been Lynn heat advantages so credit to them, and it was a great race to finish which shows the value of transponders. 

Let's see what we can do up there on Monday and fingers crossed Ashton will be fit.

I have to question the use of Chris Harris in heat 15. If Lynn have decided he's one of their top 2 riders, would it not be better for him to take a ride from the 5th best (Cook) to allow the 3rd best (Kvech) an extra race in heat 15?

May not have been easy to plan this week with Boughen's injury, they wouldn't want Harris to go out in heats 12,13&14. I guess Harris could've replaced Cook in 10 & left Cook in 13? But that's still 3 on the trot (10,11,12). When was the interval lol!

interval was after heat 11

personally i think bomber had to be in heat 15 as he was our best chance of winning the race which he very nearly did 

cook was better than his score suggests and kvech not as comfortable as his does 

all shoulda woulda coulda but i dont think thats the reason we lost the meeting

Terrific performance from The Aces with all the top 5 being at least paid a win and the reserves posting a credible paid ten, the result was only in doubt due to a below par performance from Dan - before the last heat. 

I’d pencilled Brady in as a super tac but the ef’s to the stars prevented that, curtailing our scoring somewhat. When I realise that the  Harris scoring machine and stars best rider could take half of RS Ashton’s rides, I thought here we go again but The Aces prevailed with a gutsy finish. 

Fingers crossed for Ashton, I hope he’s at the NSS on Monday where the stars will be optimistic of snatching a result given our vulnerability at home. Hopefully our away form with continue to carry over from last year.

Cook was not better than his score suggests really, he thoroughly deserved his 2 last places

Lynn got caught out by not having a true number one and by the sounds of it some bad luck.

We know the usual suspects will be gloating at the victory.

Shame to hear of another injury. Hope things aren't too bad for Ashton 

Mind you if they had a true number one, Harris wouldn't be getting 6 or 7 rides a meeting.

I guess maybe they won't be strong enough to win when things go against them, but if they can avoid multiple efs should be able to beat anyone bar Ipswich.

Oh hello look who’s woken up!! Not a word spoken on the two threads against Ipswich strangely, but after Belle Vue get away with one by scraping past a team who suffered three EF’s whilst on comfortably 5-1’s, you’re on here within seconds giving it the biggun!

2 5-1s and a 4-2 actually (Bewley had already passed Cook).

If Bewley hadn’t been so slow out of the start every race giving everyone  a head start then could have been more comfortable Belle Vue win.

Very disappointing night for Stars fans.

Out of interest, does anyone know what Bewley said re his fine? Some of our group heard him say he "best make that £100 (fine) up" or he was "still £800 up" or something similar 😂

Nothing about £800. He said he been fined £100 for riding across the concrete and needs to start scoring some points to make it up as his starts  was terrible .

They have zero shame. Arsebelle, SUPERARSE, Rob B, Phil(drink those tears)TheAce, and the biggest tool of all “Ouch”. Undoubtedly the biggest collection of absolutely whoppers from one club on this entire forum. Horrible lot!

Cook seemed to be slowing before Bewley had got past him.Even if it was only a 4-2 the other two ef's most definitely cost Lynn the match anyway,or do you think Bewley would have got Lawson from 30 yards back from the last bend lap 4 and Tate the same albeit on the 2nd bend last lap over Boughen.

You’d have lost by 10 without the Stars’ bad luck, don’t get too excited 

Not sure a defeat by ten...

Kurtz would have had a tac ride and Harris did take two of Boughen's rides, when he would only have been able to take one max otherwise...

(Was that legal by the way as IRR wouldn't have been in place?)

But, that is sport, and particularly in one that requires a level of mechanical capability from the competitors, you could counter argue that the meeting was lost in the preparation of certain riders ..

All things being equal though, KL would have won I would say...

But closer given one more ride for Boughen and a Tac ride for Kurtz, (probably with Lidsey)...
