"Who let the dogs out" .....

British Speedway - If in doubt play "Sweet Caroline" ........ Geez please no viking hand-clap.

Certainly no reason why they can't talk over the breaks in racing.

Glasgow promoter is doing the co-commentary on the stream and he stated more crashes in this meeting than they have had all season. Stakes are higher. Not sure why riders struggling. Interesting to see on twitter Darcy Ward tweeted that a lot of riders won't like the Glasgow track .

That doesn't look good for Thomsen !!

Holeshot is the first rider to get to the apex of turn 1 !! A MotoX terminology.

No buffering issues for me. Just lacks replays or graphics but this is a streaming service and not a tv production. Hope that Chris Holder's injuries not too serious but I did not what looked like Crumpie (Ruthless hoodie) take Jack Holder away. Get well soon Chris.

I read on here that VisitWales makes a significant contribution as long as there is no other SGP in the UK ???.

Prague - That was another pitiful SGP. On the SGP calendar to appeal as a destination not a race track. Possibly the worst track in SGP.

The British SGP has always been an event - the speedway family congregate on mass in Cardiff for the event. For me the parameters have changed and it is no longer a weekend jolly but a weekend for the family as "speedway" is and has been the family sport. My children love it (16+12) and without a local track now that Eastbourne Eagles have closed we have maintained our trips to British Final + British SGP ( so Yes it has been a great 2022!!!!). There weekend was made by having a photo with Nicki Pedersen on the Sun. Lovely guy was happy to have a chat and says he won't be retiring. Hotel - £247 Tickets - £210 Petrol - £100 As a weekend experience it is still something that I would look to do but with hotels difficult to book for Sep '23 - I fully expect this to come at a premium next year. I am seriously looking at making a long week-end of SWC in Wroclaw rather than Cardiff. On the most part the event was garbage this weekend with the Bewley victory papering over the cracks. Discovery Sports have not changed a great deal in terms of presentation apart from prolonged tractor dancing and this is now the 3xSGP that has been poor in 2022. Not sure how true but I have heard many say that VisitWales contributes to the event with the guarantee that no other SGP takes place in the UK and with the advance dates given over a year before hotels can set a premium rate for the event weekend as they do for all events in the Welsh Capital and make a mark up. Will be interested to see the numbers announced for this year - whether they will use the Arsenal / Emirates numerical system and state 40,000+ despite the obvious lack of numbers this year. 2023 - I won't make any commitment until I see the hotel costs.

The meeting against Kings Lynn was a drubbing but the racing on the most part was excellent with Pickering leading the charge for the away side. To be honest most of the PL racing on Eurosport has been far better than the SGP offering. "Gate and gone"

How many will be staying to watch the SON2 on the Sun ???

If you are a British rider you should have an opportunity to ride in the British Final. The only riders currently riding abroad only are Woffinden , Lambert + Bewley so why punish those ?? Majority of riders in the Final were riding in Britain and that field was stretched with the withdrawal of Barker and Cook the week prior.

The development of Brennan has been excellent. I saw him race his first race in Eastbourne kevlars and he failed to make it into bend 2 !!!!! He has come on leaps and bounds and I am sure with the right development can move forward. On Monday he was excellent and shows how far he has progressed. He was fast , aggressive and determined. My kids will be proud to wear his colours on Sun !!!

Sure Tommy B will be heading that way. On podcasts during lock-down Martin Dugard was saying Tom needed to get more European experience he has done that this season and I am sure with a strong performance in the SGP2 next week and I am sure he will be representing his Polish team more regularly in 2023.

Brummies - "More guests than a Premier Inn" Would be a major surprise if they are running in 2023.

For British Speedway - I have always been told Bet365 - SkyBet didn't have odds for the British Final on Monday. So I opened a Bet 365 account for a couple of punts.

Cost would be prohibitive. With so many "wokes" in society these days and noise pollution there is zero chance of speedway in London unless a Saudi Arabian Royal Family member falls in love with the sport.

Can't see it !! The cost of putting a temporary track in at Odsal would be vastly greater than potentially putting a temporary stand up at Belle Vue in order to increase the attendance.

Speedy recovery Zane Kennedy - that is not a good watch.

Discovery + - Has a free 7 day trial !! Sign up Wed and cancel Sun - Job Done.

Should anybody find any streams or links for Speedway of Nations this week - feel free to post them.

No sign of any SGP Merchandise online - Naturally will be plenty of unofficial vendors and I guess Monster at the fan zone.

At Arlington we used to get there about an hour before ... Get a seat in Grandstand , kids could go to the pits and then get a cardboard burger. With no local tracks we haven't even been in 2022 yet .... 2 more weeks until the British Final.

The price for the tickets is competitively priced family tickets £60 (2adults and 2kids) which is pretty decent. Although the price of a train from London is over £300 return even with an advance booking.
