The problem is we have protected heats which originally was to protect British riders. Once it was agreed to let them move up the old heat format should be used. They would have then earned the right to move up and vice versa.

Id take a point now if it was offered.

They way Garrity rode there last week I wouldn't be at all surprised if he made the final. Ive put an eachway bet on him. Its an open field this year

Manchester has a hell of a lot to offer entertainment wise. Just down the road the Etihad Stadium had Coldplay playing. All very well saying big catchment areas but that usually means more competition too.

Don't think Karlsson would ride for anyone else but Wolves to be honest. Would be nice to have a rider we could call upon if needed

Very good especially as we may need Roynon for a week or two

I guess Rose moves to 4 as you're using you're 3rd draft rider (Lambert) as guest for Kai. The 3rd draft rider assumes his own average not the one he's replacing, I think.

Horton on Thursday said we will have at least one more home one as we are contracted to at least 2.

Ben Barker is now available to sign, Glasgow have let him go.

The new owners are talking with the council and haven't ruled anything out, yet.

People have weeks in advance to book a ticket, if most people want to wait till the day then that's up to them but expect queues. I'm sure I read you can even order them on the day (or before) and then pick them up at a different desk? Pretty much every other sport/stadium has a similar scheme these days.

I certainly wouldn't rule out us riding at Brandon next year, Rugby Council seem quite determined to keep us there.

Won't happen unless there is going to be a track ready for 2018.

Shame for GB as with Ellis in the side they had a chance.

We was allowed to bring food and drink on the back straight but was told it wasn't allowed in the seating area.

£3 at Brandon!

I assure you she does go to Brandon.

If the reserve spot was open to anyone and not just under 21 riders then Garrity might have been in contention after what I saw yesterday. He was flying round there. Think there is too many in front of him at the moment. Oh and by the way I can see Lambert loving Belle Vue.

Jeremy Heaver on the Save Cov Speedway facebook page. The councillior confirmed Sandhu has no links, he has seen paperwork and met the individuals.

So it seems the bank had a big say in the sale of Brandon. I did say this when it was put up for sale, it made no sense otherwise. If the bank wanted it sold does Sandhu even have the money for a replacement? I bloody hope so!

I have to say that was an excellent meeting. Most riders made a pass at some point, Nicholls-Bomber heat could've gne either way but Nicholls just always managed to get the outside run. Thought KK was going to get Zagar on the line in heat 15 and Garrity looked very good round there after his first ride, made some excellent passes. Overall Belle Vue deserved the win but that poor start really cost us. How Worrall got away with that start in heat 2 I have no idea. As for the stadium, very good. Obviously issues with ticketing but I'd advise get them printed the £1 extra will be worth it. Perhaps will need more kiosks behind the back straight when the world cup is on though! Oh and nowhere to dry your hands in the toilets which is a bit shoddy.

Seems to be plenty of Bees fans heading up today. Not expecting anything but looking forward to seeing the new stadium and good racing. I'd take a point today!

Is the answer Starman? Yawn.

Well we have an extra hour to get to Manchester 👍.

Blimey, why are people taking offence to this? Ridiculous!
