Yes @Ray Stadia @RoundTheBoards @SPEEDY69 you're all correct. As everyone knows, a bike leaving the shale and hitting the concrete kerb with the back wheel is liable to take-off. I think someone has maybe had a drink and meant to actually type: "Best wishes to Tai for a full and speedy recovery"

It also says Ablitt (8.33) will be the No.1 So that must mean Roynon (8.84) is out. It leaves 6.16 to replace Muff 1. Nathan Ablitt 8.33 2. Luke Harrison 7.66 3. ??????????? 6.16 4. Luke Harris 5.36 5. Mickie Simpson 4.49 6. Jamie Etherington 3.00 7. Harrison Rogers 3.00

Max Perry Lion Cubs 6.89 Vinnie Foord Kent Eagles 6.29 Sonny Springer Fox Cubs 5.60 Sam McGurk Edinburgh Academy 5.56 Luke Harris Steelers 5.36 Stene Pijper Boro Tigers 4.82 Cooper Rushen Lion Cubs 3.00 37.52

Looks like 3 tickets have become available in the main stand Block F for Saturday and 4 in the main stand Block F for Friday if anyone needs to grab them quickly before they go again.

Presumably that was a typo, and you mean a step down from the Championship? (NL can't be a step down from itself ) Personally I prefer NDL to Championship. I watch Premiership to see the top stars, and NDL to see the young upcomers. I tend to skip Championship.

So now the events are selling out, the whinging has got down to the level of moaning about the cost of a cap, some sunglasses and a blob of AmbreSolaire? There's some sad case about

Ticket sales still seem to be going well, since the one-day options went on sale this morning. Glad I got mine last Friday. Obviously the main grandstand was already a complete sell out last week, but there were one-day tickets for both Friday and Saturday on the back straight standing at 10am this morning. They all appear to have gone now. The temporary East stand still has tickets, but the middle sections have pretty much all gone for Saturday.

You comment is silly. The capacity is the capacity. The variable factor is the price. Since it sold out so quickly, the price seemingly could have been higher. That's how supply and demand economics works. "What you are saying is like saying, if Ferrari worked harder and made an extra 30 million cars every year, we could all buy a new Ferrari for £10,000. In reality, the supply of Ferraris is limited, and those that can afford to pay for them, get them at the market-clearing price. Re Cardiff, I think it has run its course. The novelty has worn off, and Manchester will be massively better. The big draw of Cardiff was the social side, and when it drew 40,000 the streets were swarming with people and the stadium had a great atmosphere. We used to go every year, but last year was the first time I'd been for 5 years. The atmosphere, both in the city centre and in the stadium was noticeably more subdued. Cardiff's racing is never that great, and its notorious problem of not having enough hotels is a problem when Cardiff is so out-of-the-way for many people. Belle Vue doesn't have the same problems as the racing is superb, and being more central in Britain makes it more accessible. I'm looking forward to these very special meetings on a superb track I can get to in under an hour.

You don't make any sense. The grandstand sold out in less than a day. They can't bring any more people in beyond a full house. If anything, the speed of the sales says the prices were too low.

on the SGPManchester.com website for the single day option available which will be available from Wednesday it already shows the Main Grandstand sold out, so the only options would appear to be south stand or east stand. (unless south stand also sells out before Wednesday)

Why would they hold tickets back for Wednesday if they can sell them now? That would make no sense, and SGP isn't a charity. Where are all the people who were predicting an empty stadium? I knew they'd sell fast, and got mine early. All the grandstands seemed available at 10am, so if any are held back they can only be the back-straight I'd guess. The grandstand is now showing completely full, it's hard to tell how many back straight have sold, although I'm hearing they're almost all gone. East stand seems to be selling pretty well too. I don't expect the East stand will sell out before Wednesday, but I suspect that if people want to go for just 1 day, then the East stand will be the only option available by Wednesday. If I only wanted to go one day, I think I'd buy the 2-day package, and try to sell the other day on to another fan. Perhaps someone needs to set up an app to match people who can only go Friday, with people who can only go Saturday, get the 2-day discount and share the saving.

That makes no sense. If shares in this venture are being offered publicly to members of the public, why shouldn't those members of the public discuss things on a public forum? If someone doesn't want public information available to the public, that makes me immediately wonder what it is that they want to hide?

Would imagine the local Health & Safety Executive are going to be very on the ball about safety issues at Mildenhall. Another Motocross rider killed on the Mildenhall MX track next door yesterday. The second death in 6 months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2je8jpl55o

Much as I would like to see a new track reopen, I find this idea of a loan from the SRBF to a private business, to be in very bad taste. What would the Charity Commission think of a charity gambling with injured riders' money in this way?
