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!

You know we won right.  Zero shame what for LOL.

It would seem Kings Lynn had some bad luck but it also could be said Boughen should have withdrawn after his fall so Harris could have taken heat 8.

Must admit, it did seem to be a "gift horse" didn't it? 

If not 100% to ride then he, or the manager ,should have made the call for him to withdraw from the meeting..

And also, I am quite surprised the KL fans have been seemingly "ok" about the mechanical failures..

The Aces seemed to have working bikes..

Which is pretty much the most important thing..

They won’t have it don’t waste your breath. They’ll all stick their fingers in their ears and go blah blah and they’ll genuinely think they fully deserved the win and got no luck whatsoever. Just like they believe they fully deserved to be champions last year because they were the best side in the league. They’re pure fantasists. 

We are champions, not other opinion matters.  Get over it, move on, go out and get some fresh air, it really will help you. 

Belle Vue are 14 times champions,  if you want to go on who was the best team in the league Belle Vue would be 15 times champions:).

Regulation query: Because Boughen was withdrawn before starting a 3rd heat, shouldn't King's Lynn have been 3 rider's only in heat 12 or 14??

 

Not totally up to date with the rules

This just isn’t right is it. I’ve no doubt Boughen was genuinely unfit to take his third ride but if this can happen then that just opens up the door to manipulation in the future. It’s accepted that Premiership teams have six Premiership standard riders, and one up and coming rising star each for the sole reason of mixing it with better riders to help their progression in the sport. Every rising star has to take three programmed rides, no advantage to either side. The fact a club can replace their rising star with let’s face it, a seasoned heat leader despite him riding at reserve, doesn’t sit well with me. You’ve basically just been handed a bonus tactical substitution that the other club won’t have. Okay Harris only got one point in that heat but that’s not the point. If a rising star can’t fulfil their programmed rides, then that club should run heats with only one rider. Unlucky for that club yes, but that’s the way it should be. 
 

The only other way around it, is by giving the opposing club the option of replacing their rising star with their senior reserve also. Unless the injured rising star was due in heat 14 which wouldn’t allow the opposition an opportunity to replace theirs, in which case you go with one rider.

I don't know why Aces fans are going over the top for, Yes you finished the meeting well as I said last night and you won the meeting by 2 points but the warnings signs are still lingering in regards to the Belle Vue 1-7.

Got to take into account that If it wasn't for King's Lynn's issues earlier in the meeting it would have resulted in a third straight double digit defeat for Belle Vue this season (50 - 40).

I'd be happy with the win but I'd also be very wary at the same time because it was far from convincing and you needed alot of luck against a team that doesn't have an out and out No.1/No.5.

Feel a bit for Ben Cook. The fella is a decent enough little rider but he’s not and never will be, a number 1. The poor start looks as if it’s denting his confidence and the sooner he gets away from that position the better. None of the others are number 1 material either, but there’s a lot of experience in this team and a few of them would handle the position a lot better IMO. 
 

Mind you his brother Zach has started poorly also! Good win in his last ride though and an important one at an important time so that might get him going.

I would be happy for the win too but it should be said their bottom end look weak, without the issues K Lynn had their lower order riders scores would have very low.

He held Bewley off well in ht 13 and was on a 5 - 1 when his mechanical issue occurred. There is plenty of positives for him to take. There's a platform to build from!!

Despite the defeat imo, King's Lynn came out of last night's meeting with more positives than Belle Vue.

Everyone at King's Lynn should be thinking of the positives rather than the negatives because there's a lot to be encouraged about last night imo.

King's Lynn's top two only scored 6+1 between them and it still only resulted in a 2 point defeat due to three 5-1's turning into three shared Heats which would've resulted in an easy 10 point win on the night, A winning margin that most forum members predicted before the off.

The defending Champions Belle Vue are being branded as one of Ipswich's main threats this season (Bookies 2nd Favourites), Unlike Oxford who are nailed on for the wooden spoon (On Paper) and King's Lynn's rock solid 1-7 with no real big hitters proved that they could more than compete with Belle Vue around the AFA.

Where's what have Belle Vue really got to gloat about, They won but it was only due to the other teams misfortunes, They'll know full well that they cant rely on that happening to the opposition every week so in reality they still need to improve drastically if they want to defend their title.

Another belle Vue thread in less than 2 weeks that’s gone way over the top. 
 

like a never ending school playground fight. 
 

end of the day Belle Vue get the win

 

kings lynn very unlucky to lose but that’s sport im afraid. Both sets of supporters can certainly be happy with last night. 
 

im not going to get ahead of myself as that result certainly painted over the cracks of our side but a wins a win. 
 

well done Zach on gaining your first race win in our colours and that ride arguably won us the meeting.

Neither of the Cook brothers seem to be on fire at the moment but they will come good, Zach beating his brother is fairly rare too and no doubt Zach mentioned it on the way home!

A lot of riders hold off Bewley with all due respect. Hume did it for Ipswich at Foxhall a couple of seasons ago, Jenkins last week etc. Bewley can be fast on big open tracks but he lacks a racing brain and can be a bit clueless when behind. My point stands, there are more experienced riders in your team that will suit the position better IMO. Cook needs to be riding in the middle order. 

[Col]

Only going by updates.
It seems two early EF's cost Kings Lynn a few points but Harris being able to take an extra ride following Boughen withdrawal evened things up a little.
Interesting that it was Bewley rather than Lidsey chosen for heat 14, Lidsey's score to that point was better than Bewley but looks like Lemon got that right.
Kings Lynn were always going to struggle when it came to last heat deciders, it's the price they pay for having a rider like Harris at reserve.

Ben top scored in Poland at the weekend! I know it's not the top league anymore but still. Also Zach tends to take a couple of weeks to get settled into the season even in the Championship level. 

But I agree with Aries that Ben needs away from no1 spot especially when still getting used to having KL as home track.
