I quite enjoyed both nights of racing (always good racing at the National Speedway Stadium) - how they managed to get last night on was a minor miracle and it wasn't just processional riding. I think it is good to see the lesser countries against the "big boys", however, I don't know how anyone would make any money out of running these 2 events. Given that the GB hosts aren't racing until Friday and Saturday, the crowds were rather sparse (as you would expect) - but they were worse than sparse and certainly would have hit someone deep in their pockets - I suspect they are looking for big crowds on Friday and Saturday to compensate. If someone happened to tune in on Discovery+ (it is hard enough for the diehard fans to get access never mind someone with a passing interest), they wouldn't have thought that they must attend in person because the lack of crowd impacted the atmosphere and with the weather thrown in last night - it just made it not a great advert for speedway.
Discovery+ should be showing this on Eurosport and not on a specialist channel that requires yet more subscriptions.
