Sun shining and blue skies. Wrapping up warm ☀️

Why wouldn't he get a heat 15? He did yesterday against Leicester. He was able to beat their whole team, including their heatleaders and that was riding at a tougher position.

Great line up and weather looking good. Really looking forward to it. Hope Bomber gets a packed stadium. He has been amazing for Coventry and also when guesting for other teams, even at short notice. Never turned his back on team GB either.

I really hope Belle Vue can get the track sorted soon. The stadium looks brilliant in photos and they have a good team.

Auty rode at reserve for Leicester, not number 1

NKI pulls out through injury. He is replaced by Craig Cook

I agree. People go to watch racing not to see riders slowly go round just to get through 4 laps (if they are lucky) That's not a meeting.

If the track had been prepared correctly and got to race they would have gone out. Woffy has tweeted that it was unsafe. The track had already failed track inspections and one of the riders who practiced before tonight on it told Havelock that it wasn't great. Rumours had been going round that the track wasn't fit to ride yesterday so why do nothing. The blame is with those at Belle Vue who shouldn't have let fans in tonight, knowing they had already had lots of problems with the track.

Klindt said it had failed two inspections this week

Should have given them a safe track to race on then

Klindt says he heard it failed a track inspection twice this week. Can't blame the riders for not wanting to just push their bikes round for 4 laps and hope for the best.

Really hope they make a better job of the World Cup 😕

Why was it left to Chris Harris to explain to the fans what was happening? Wasn't that the job of those at Belle Vue to explain to the fans how this mess happened?

Riders safety should come first. Nobody wants to see anybody injured. Harris says the track was rideable but not raceable but he will give most things a try. Why should fans pay out to watch riders just try and make it round 4 laps. I feel sorry for the fans who made the trip. Sitting there in the cold without any updates. Shambles and sad to see

Havelock tweeted: Oh dear. I heard rumours the new track was not gonna be ready🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hans had also mentioned the track wasn't great. There were rumours last night that the new track had problems & the meeting was a huge doubt but I took it with a pinch of salt. If it was suspected last night that there were big problems with the track then why we're fans let in & left sitting without any updates until 7pm?

Absolute shambles!

Feel really sorry for the fans. They have been sat there in the freezing cold and nobody has kept them up todate on what's happening until an hour later. Not a great start for Belle Vue's new stadium

Garrity looks like he may have got his bikes sorted. Riding as a heatleader at no 5 against Leicester at the moment and beat their number 3, 5 and just won the TR over Leicester's number 1 &2. Scored 14pts riding at no 5 in the EL format 👍🏻

@MikkelBechJ so gutted I can't do @CH37Testimonial tomorrow duo to las tights crash. I'll give my wrist some rest and be ready for first league meeting🐾🐾 His replacement is to be announced

Something I hope is changed fast is the person in charge of the music. Playing "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion & "Wannabe" by spice girls. 👎🏻🙉

With all the hype about this Poole team, I would have expected them to easily beat us at home. Yes you had no Holder but we had 2 riders with bike problems all night and we aren't the strongest competition they will have on paper. Tbh Poole weren't what I thought they would be. I can not see them going all season unbeaten that's for sure. Think Belle Vue & possibly Swindon will give them a run for their money.

After watching the bees last night (and freezing it was that cold) I actually feel a bit more positive about the team than I did this time yesterday. KASPAZAK was brilliant to watch and rode better in one meeting than our so called no 1 of last couple of years did all season. Really hoping we can see that from him consistently. Looked confident and that was riding through the pain barrier. HARRIS was great to watch as always. In heat 10 he could have gone off 15m and would have still beat them with ease. KING had a shocker. He looked under power all night as could see he was trying but had no speed. Whilst he isn't a heatleader, at home he is capable of much more than that. KACPER fought hard for his points and looks like he could be a good racer once he gets used to the track. Some promising signs esp as only his first home meeting. I agree it would have been better if he had more support in the top 5 GARRITY started off really well in heat 1 beating Buzz & Kurtz but was on his teammates equipment in heat 1. Heard he was having problems with his bikes which he needs to get sorted. BATES surprised me. I've never been a fan of his but last night he was very fast. He would have won both reserve races had he not tried to team ride Sarjeant in heat 12. SARJEANT is my main concern. He looks to have no power and easily beaten. That said he still was able to beat Newman & Ellis. I thought the track rode well esp when it was freezing cold and raining from heat 4.

King & Sarjeant were born terrible last night at Brandon. King looked to have no power. Hoping they can both sort it soon

Any news on Iversen?

Nicki Pedersen: Just been told that our flight from Copenhagen to Manchester are canceled with @SAS They are not going to find alternative today
