I think I posted just before Dave Jones did.

The weather for Glasgow all day tomorrow is terrible. It will be amazing if the match is on, and if it is it could be follow the leader.

That is beautifully. Just what a speedway bike should look like.

I am very happy with Team GB, has a good ring to it.

Stream available from Glasgow Speedway web site …… £14.99 i don’t mind paying if a stream is available, helps the club out. I will watch a freebie if it’s from a track in a foreign country that is not shown on tv.

When the adrenalin wears off, the pain kicks in. It was said last night, Simon Stead I think it was, that after the meeting on Saturday night and before he left the stadium Woffy was in lots of pain and could hardly walk. He is having scans Tuesday.

But it would have been totally boring if on Saturday you knew who was going to be champion because they were 10 points in the lead. Who would have guessed the in the final ride of the weekend a Pole was going to pick the same line his team mate in front also ended up on but going slower. End of. They should have sorted out what they were going to do before the race started. First and third would have been good enough but you can’t relax on BV track, they bottled it.

Winning because of opponents misfortune! They all had the same track to race on. Janowski chose the outside line, pity his team mate chose that also but was going slower then Janowski.

What has Lebedevs ridden in?

Latvia riders?

Well done GB team. They gave it all and did it. I hoe this win is promoted the right way and gets on the sports pages of national newspapers, and gets at least local tv coverage. Rider of the weekend ….Hellstrom-Bangs, he deserves a special medal for making a good name for himself. .

It could be that the reserve rides so well (he has to have at least one race) that it is planned for a rider not doing too well to deliberately tape break to get the reserve in. Sort of Cheating the system.

The difference between racing last night and most of this years GPs is clear. I have already wiped out most of this years GPs from my recorder, some straight after the meeting. Last nights SON has not been wiped out and will no doubt be viewed a number of times during the winter months. It doesn’t matter how many overtakes there was in a race, Denmark v Australia has been highlighted. There was a lot of very close racing. That race between Den and Aussie, for the first two laps you could throw a blanket over all four, for the last two laps you could throw a blanket over the first three. Wembley was a poor race track, a lot of races were spread out. For sure there was good races, but very few would have been like that Den v Aussie race, and others from last night. What made Wembley was the atmosphere, 70,000 plus fans made it a great night.

With all the passing that happens at NSS, and having been an avid BV supporter since early 60’s/late 70’s, I rate NSS higher then the old Hyde Road. I not wanting to take anything away from Hyde Road, it was a brilliant track, but the NSS let’s more riders get into the action. If the land offered by Manchester Council had been bigger I have no doubt Chris Morton and partner would have built a copy of Hyde Road. The land offered is restrained so they designed a track with care and attention and came up with a fantastic raceway.

Personally speaking, there was some very good racing tonight. I have seen more consistent better racing, but compared to some GP’s this year it was very good. Having said that, I hope someone else has a big say on track prep for tomorrows meeting.

How come Phil Morris is in charge of track prep. Yes I know he is the travelling FIM clerk of the course, but why cannot he be humble enough to recognise some tracks have excellent staff preparing excellent racing tracks that don’t need him butting in. It’s as if he has to do something different to justify his existence.

BBC weather forecast is similar to what R&R has posted. From early hours of Sunday morning until noon on Sunday there is a high chance of LIGHT rain, and light winds. For the rest of the afternoon, dark clouds (not rain). BV will be able to take light rain, no problem. Too many doomsayers on here.

Maybe not the owner of the forum making a living, more like helping with the cost of running a forum. I don’t think they come free of costs, so a bit of income from adverts helps keep the forum running. I think it’s a case of adverts occasionally or each member of the forum make a financial contribution. Maybe a referendum is needed to sort adverts v contribution. A simple majority decides, no discussions for the next 20 years.

The stream is £14.99, just got mine.

What’s the title of the book.

That would be good. It’s a racers track but not too big.

I hope so. Couldn’t see anything on Glasgows website, but perhaps they trying to sell seats before they release stream.

Belle Vue is in England, it is Wales that is doing the covid passport thing.

If the Poles get a hiding its their fault, they should have put a stronger team up.

Will this test match be available to pay and watch remotely as they did for the gp challenge qualifier.
