Watching tonight, it was clear the "missing bit" is the crowd engagement... Wroclaw v Lublin last week had a stadium rocking, as did, to be fair, the two GP's at the NSS.. The racing is one thing, the crowd interaction is the other part of the equation which will engage those watching on TV... Some very good racing got met with a polite round of applause, and programmes being filled in...

Bless him.... A proper 100% lad for a good many years...

Didn't want to be riding the inside... Possibly a cut back...?

Generational talent level maybe?... A huge way to go obviously, but you can't teach that move, at that speed... Few can do that, hence they become top level.. With Cairns, and Harrison, in particular, we have some very good level lads coming through..

Dare I say it... That first lap from Rushen was Kurtz and Bewleyesque.... A proper level of talent ..

Kelvin's maths are not a great advert for a private education are they?..

Kemp under no pressure is very much a different rider...

Get in Ace!!!! Get him in the GB squad!!!!

It is all a bit flat... We, as fans, judge the racing, but we are not the target audience.. To make it an "event" it must have so much more... The commentators are selling it, but the fans don't seem to join in... Wroclaw last week showed what a fanbase for such a sport as Speedway should be... I presume the fans are prioritising filling their programmes in...

Great race.... And Allen gets his name right!!!

They are doing an excellent job of filming a "packed" grandstand, and also, not showing an empty grandstand in "E/F", in front of the start line, from the start gate camera from the inside.. Which TNT used to show... They have obviously learned...

The what?....

Baddum Tish...

Who is Will Kerns?.....

Puncture them.....

Brilliant from Flint... The NSS when slickened off gives so many lines...

They need to get Rushen interviewed... Young kid... Ticks boxes.. Edit. I have hope....

Kemp and Rowe have both flattered to deceive in their careers haven't they?...

Emma is a massive asset to UK Speedway... Ultra professional and unfazed by having to react quickly...

There are no stands.... And to put them there costs effing shed loads... And won't get filled anyway. Basically, no need for them... At the NSS, standing just before bend 3 is the spot... Amazing speed, amazing cutting across each other at those amazing speeds...

The race times are getting slower, which usually means better racing..

Is it the in-house BV stream team?... They do have a fair few camera angles...

The vast majority of local residents don't speak English...😁

They are naff to be fair... I can only think that "we have a great race track" muddles their thinking...
