I do very much agree with that - Speedway as a live spectacle is never replicated from your armchair, what really doesn't help is all the stupid camera angles and producers trying to be clever, I often preferred the old videos from the 80s-90s that often showed the meeting from just one or perhaps two camera angles. TV speedway production is often very poor and clearly not run by people who know and care about the sport. I think BSN are probably about the best when it comes to the TV / streaming work and thats because they are fans! You are also right about BV being bobbins - Bewley and Cook excepted, you would think BV would be better at Sheffield but there you go.

I can only assume people have never experienced cracked, broken or damaged ribs! However if they are as suggested them i'd be surprised if he is fit enough to ride for a week or two at least! Of course what would helped is if the Bv management had got their backside into gear and updated people properly after the lunchtimne meeting, it finished about 2pm and they have 5 hrs to get some form of update out.

The way Lawson is riding he could be a good option - he rides Foxhall well too

Be close, I had this one down as the only match the Witches might have a chance of winning in their run in to ther end of the league season.

Not particularly commenting on the issue of guests or riders missing - but re Kurtz - a couple of people around me did say he wasnt his usual self at the NSS - having had a cracked rib or two in the past they are very painful - painkillers and adrenaline may well have got him through this AM but once they wear off he may well have decided his couldn't ride tonight - who knows, the trouble is silence from official sources doesnt help the rumours! Given how well run the entire event at the NSS is i find it surprising that the skipper missing the 2nd leg wasn't bigger news and properly annouced!

It’s what we pay our money for - today at the NSS we had some cracking heats - The Holders Dan etc - sadly BV tonight - Dan B excepted weren’t really up to it!

Witches had been very impressive at Owlerton this year - I’d say only Leicester right now stand in the Tigers way for the title - Bv not good enough tonight and struggled to win this AM!

He was trying to block him to let Jenkins through from what I could see good effort by the Witches

Maybe so but it was still a decent defensive ride - when Blodorn tried to get past Thompson you felt that it was almost by accident that Thompson blocked him off. Ben cook does like the inside line he tried the same in heat 14 on Josh this morning!

Fair play to Edwards good ride that!!

I can see Graham the track man going round on the TV!

How Bewley stayed on there was impressive I thought he was a gonna! sadly apart from that race it really is gate and go as proved when Cook and Bewley got out in front of Chris Holder and Josh! unfortunately due to The aces bad start this meeting was over ages ago

Wasn’t just me then - I thought I was having a seizure for a moment

I feel I may have made the correct decision to go to the NSS and not Owlerton tonight - so far not a patch on the noon match. Interesting that two riders look completely different to the morning - Kyle Howarth and Voulas - I suppose that’s home track advantage for you

Goodness the Ipswich team looks nothing like it should - if Brum can’t win tonight I don’t think they ever can

Yes decent attendance 2k+ I would have said - the chap I sat next to in the fourth bend area of the grandstand said normally I have this area to myself!!

It was in Heat 15

I’ll just leave this score prediction here - great meeting and great racing although heat 15 itself was a non race once the Aces gated

Been a great meeting - last heat decider coming!

Well I made it and parked up now looking forward to a good match! Have to say really impressed with the set up so far at the NSS!

Thanks for the all the parking advice - I plan to get across pretty early so will examine options! still think this maybe closer than expected hit still expect a home win maybe 48-42 ish

I am sooo old clearly i like to get a programme - last season at Sheffield v BV they ran out of programmes and i didnt get one - i had to create a scorecard on my phone so i could keep tabs of the score!

Planning to visit the NSS for this - having looked at the website it suggests plenty of parking about - the South Car park seems the best option if you are just turning up on the day? The £3 as well and if so is it cash or card or do you have to pia (pay in advance? Onto the match - well should be a good one i reckon - slender home win for me!

That's a fairly decent guest list - will be close i reckon!

Shame as Zach scored really well for Woves at Foxhall in 2023 so I was hoping / expecting more. Decent effort but not enough - nice to see Jordan getting some decent points. I wonder if the Witches can buck this dip and beat Birmingham next week I actually have that down as one they can perhaps win.
