Yes... And have a wicker shopping basket on the front...

And play offs are won on aggregate... The Aces have had some close calls this year at home so a big win delivers a much greater chance of qualification... Riding against the opposition reserves several times a night will certainly help him...

One of the few tracks you dont fill your programme in by bend three, lap one..

Missed the pristine white shirt to be honest...

Magic moments are created in almost no time at all... I thought the meeting was excellent (Tai's injury apart), with razor sharp reflexes on show and riders riding inches from the fence... And plenty of passing and very close, hard racing... Exactly what you pay for.... And. You get to see lots and lots of Phil.... Mmmmmmm, lovely... GP Speedway...

Black Leathers... Monkey masks... 2 valve engines.. 3 shilling to get in, and still have enough for 20 Woodbine and a fish supper on the way home..

How good was that? GP Speedway... And some still moan....

Wow... What a first lap... These lads are different class aren't they?

There are enough reasons to see the sport as a bit Mickey Mouse, so to see a team make changes suggests the title may be worth winning... And in any professional sport, you should need to perform to keep your place rather than having an average level that fits a bigger plan.. Well done to the Aces, I can see this kid having a big future...

Gordon Pairman in last weeks SS did a very informative Q and A, and suggested all the legal threats were basically not worth the words... And bemoaned the fact that instead of allowing the IOW and others to possibly develop riders, the BSP did their utmost to try and stop them.. But, to be fair, he always seemed to come across as someone with common sense...

Apart from not having a 14000 capacity... A flaw in your cunning plan Balder's...

Dan, all over... Could have rode all three up the track, and didn't..

I think the pricing structure for the final is to subsidise the lack of people attending the other three meetings... Big costs for four meetings to cover... As a "one off", I would think somewhere between £35 to stand to £65 to sit would be around the cost...

About 7,000 I think... £50 a ticket on average and affordable maybe?

Get 14,000 paying circa £350k and anyone can have one... Great ride from Fajfer!!!

Isn't Phil dreamy...?

Looks a very exciting prospect... Some great YT footage of him from Workington.. The NSS will suit him down to the ground..

Just saw that. Confused....

I am always amazed that the live matches dont get promoted locally as separate entities.. The images portrayed on screen of a three quarters empty stadium the other night, does the Aces, and the sport, no favours... Many businesses would kill for two hours, prime time, worth of advertising being beamed out to the very large reach both locally and nationally that Eurosport has... UK Speedway seem to have no interest in showcasing their sport, either individually or as a collective, which I find baffling...

"Technical tracks", when well prepared, are a bit of a "Freddie Special"... He enters the bends quicker than most, and can manoeuvre the bike to find the traction needed to pass those in front.. No point having someone with his skillset there if a slick dust bowl is all that gets provided..

Due to the way the sport is ran, there is no tribal feeling of "I must go" that you get with other team sports.. As, for a great many, the racing is the reason to be there, rather than the importance of the result.. Hence, many can comfortably stay away and watch it on the TV, and see it as a chance to "save a few quid", but still watch the racing.. As an example, Tungate's score the other night for KL could actually assist KL prevent his own team from making the play offs... If that happens, then Oxford would then be asking a lot of their "big" crowds to return next year in the same numbers I would suggest .. TV crowds show that fans, in the main, don't take it "too seriously" hence when they get a chance to see it without forking out any more cash than their TV subscription, then they do.. Promoters cannot complain about that as they set the operating model...

Track staff 100/100 too.. A Hot day, and they nailed it... Not many could have delivered that level of surface...

Too many big meetings... The PCM, The British Final, and obviously, The Son, which will have miles more Aces fans there than any other team... Not cheap having such great racing to watch, with many of the world's best in attendance ....

Having a large screen to watch the TV coverage replays etc at the same time, and all the interviews and comments too, could help maybe? It is mind numbing being sat there for what seems a long, long time waiting for your next race to start...

Excellent in Poland this weekend.. And has been decent through the season.. Major comfort for the Lions I am sure...
