Playoffs due to start 26 September so they got 4 weeks.

So if it was 30 degrees they would only get 2 hours before the meeting to water the track? not sure I believe that. Last dog race was 1.59pm so what happens between then and 5.30pm then?

If they can’t fix track in over 4 hours in middle of summer while it’s warm then that’s terrible. Other tracks can fix a track in an hour.

If that the case and no confirmation anywhere, that would be poor. Rain due to stop soon and then they would have 4 hours in 20 degree temperatures for it to dry and work on track.

Why they started using CET times?

It’s August, it’s school holidays maybe if your club actually promoted it, put some extra entertainment on, advertise, put some special offers on. No just have a damp squib in September instead with no Tv.

It wasn’t dodgy forecast though, 50% chance of showers that’s all.

Whoever gets outside for race off big advantage.

Thats why don't like these meetings, I know some people will say they qualified on merit but just 2 meetings. Always get some dodgy ones, like Kasprzak couple of years ago.

I thought that

Of course it's the track, 4 experienced riders crashed and injured on it today.

The GB v Poland meeting was the same

Why do they have these meetings at Glasgow, always full of crashes and injuries

If you paid for it no buffering, if watching for free then yes keeps buffering

What would you have done at Wembley then, which everyone raves about.

They had got it right for years though. I think the issue was more the extreme heat/humidity. I've read articles in past with Ole that they learned track had to be specific moisture level, was probably hard to maintain that.

That won't happen due to rugby.

Not heard anything but they said chest pains, bet it was all that tyre smoke he was breathing in on Monster stage, stupid idea.

Did it rain during the Speedway of Nations in October last year? No Has it rained during any FIM meeting at NSS? No. You will find over the last 6 years Belle Vue probably have one of the lowest number of rain offs of all tracks in UK.

It was Speedsport who built the track as they have done for 15+ years, Ole Olsen was on track and the watering van had Danish plates with Vojens on the side of it. Apparently the shale that is always in storage was moved during the winter and was contaminated with gravel. Also I suspect the high heat and humidity didn't help the track too. Cardiff wasn't actually organised by Discovery Sport, it was organised by Paul Bellamy and co from BSI under new compnay name now of Sidetrack Ltd.

It was 9,000 for World Cup in 2016, but it can go up to 10,000 that was in planning.

I thought once the event started now meeting reserve would be used.

Aces certainly have got setup dialled in for these drier slicker conditions which provides great racing but they will have to sharpen their gating for play offs. People saying huge home advantage, for years there has been no home advantage as away teams like riding the NSS so much. If Ipswich come in playoffs it will be much closer.

Doyle second problem was his own doing, he forgot to turn his fuel on! Crowd was decent but disappointing for nice summers day in school holidays and 1st v 2nd but maybe quite a lot on holiday. Lot more there last week and on previous bank holidays.
