It was announced that the attendance was the best for a British Final since its been at the NSS. Certainly looked like it too! Plenty of fans from around the country .

Jack back to number 1 in the new averages. Number 5 should suit Brady better on his return. Not sure that r/r is the best thing for Richie if Nico is still feeling under par?! Similarly, Tungate at 1 for the Panthers.

So, any last minute rider changes?

As I've said before some clubs don't get any financial gain from bar and food, car park etc so your example would net approx £9400 gate receipts (taking the VAT off) less stadium rental - maybe £3k as in some cases - and less staff costs (officials, St Johns, etc) aside from the volunteers, so that would grossly affect the bottom line. Then you would have the promotional costs eg advertising, marketing, PR etc to attract improved audiences - these could vary substantially from area to area. With both the above suggestions there is little info about exactly how you would attract new audiences nor the costs of doing so?! Sorry for the critique as I try to be positive but there are so many questions left unexplained - or maybe even worse not even considered.

Oh please!! That'll secure you 5th place for sure!!

I was assuming that Wolves may have dropped him by then!

Covatti out as well tonight at Eastbourne!! Barker guests

At least in August there may be a few more home guest options available, although with Covatti withdrawing from the Somerset team at Eastbourne tonight, who knows what will be needed by Thursday?

At least Josh showed how disappointed he was and when apologising he refused any payment from the Panthers promotion. (See Panthers website)

Could use him to guest in a couple (not all 3) of the upcoming home meetings in August - but not sure what this has to do with this Peterborough thread?!

Almost as bad as Nicholls - he rode for Poole once too!!

Tungate at 1 from 1st August!!

Good points for Kurtz on his return to competitive racing.

Keep on hampering Skipper.

Chill out Baggy. I did use emoticons! Just delighted that Poole are still top with meeting(s) in hand - even after last night's meetings!!

Hopefully so - and to be on a financial guarantee if they do!?

No. its Piraterna v Lejonen. You'll have to watch Nicolai (and Woryna, KK, Lahti, the Davidssons etc)

Yeah but the bumps are fewer and much smoother!!

Josh G guesting for Hans then?!

Josh is guesting for Panthers in any case.

Some might suggest that its far easier to promote a once-a-year GP in Cardiff (that I assume makes money, cos not all those 45000 actually pay to get in and renting the stadium for at least a week will not be cheap?) in a modern venue than every week or two for 5 months in varying venues of sparse facilities. Well done to the promoters who are still giving it a go despite all the sports ills.

Tomorrow night in Sweden!!!

Good to see that Brady is back on a MotoX bike on the new track at Middlo's!!

...and on the speedwaygb site too thank goodness. Most of the racing that night was of similar standard. Credit to both teams and the track staff!!

Sky only have the clout because of the advertising/sponsorship revenue from the gambling companies. If the law changes more to block gambling companies from their TV advertising and sponsorship then Sky and football will be up s#!t creek!
