Bit of afters in the pits after that heat, or did I imagine it?

This retired bugger was watching but not on here. Is that allowed? Will be back for the 5.30 event, too.

Thanks, Paul, for taking the trouble to dig that out. Much appreciated.

Yep, doing alright so far (many years of experience!!), but did miss the 'joker' ride (I hate that term!!). Otherwise all OK thanks for your concern!

Been on my calendar all week. Retirement has it's benefits. (Not BENEFITS you understand, just some good points!)

Thanks, didn't know that that crazy rule applied in Denmark. (They are usually so much more sensible over there!)

MJJ riding without helmet cover. Exclusion in UK?

At the next break perhaps someone could explain the A,B,C classes as applied to team selection in Denmark? Seemingly no A rider for the home team, yet it looks an easy night for them so far. Do Danish teams drop their A riders like the Poles when the season is effectively lost, to cut costs? I know it's a different scene in Denmark v. Poland, but I suppose even these small clubs need to watch their outlay?

Don't enjoy a meeting as much if I'm not filling in a prog. Just doesn't feel right, something missing. Even do it for the GP's on TV despite having the race by race on the laptop in front of me. Hey, whatever works! EDIT: See previous two posts!!

Despite my earlier reflections that's it for me tonight. If I was at the track it might be different, but I have a life here too. Thanks for your company and the updates.............

While we are reminiscing I remember years ago setting off from Manchester in a snowstorm, travelled down the M6 in a blizzard to watch the Aces at Brandon. Crazy! , but by the time we got there it was a bright day and the meeting went on as if nothing was happening further north. Sometimes it's worth the effort!

Yep, we've all been at matches like this haven't we..................don't want to leave, just in case.................but know that really it's not going to happen.......................

'Interesting' choice of music on the Tannoy................I am sure I can even hear the crowd joining in! (Wouldn't happen at Kirky Lane!)

His own worst enemy! He didn't need to do what he did, he could have been clear for a 5-1, but that's Nicki!

I'm in 'foreign' too............but good images.............thanks to Brandon bee.

Thanks!!

My usual sources are not forthcoming with appropriate images!! Any suggestions as to where to watch? EDIT: have now found link with Swedish(?) commentary. English??

I'll sign your expenses form .Tell PS to take it out of my subscription.

Pleasant evening here in South Manchester and should be just heading off for Kirky Lane. Sadly the previous 24 hours have been VERY wet, so an early call off. Will have to settle for the Danish offering this week. On another minor subject........who I wonder is the older guy in the pits (blue shirt, blue trainers) who seems to be there on every shot of that area? I think we should be told!!

Lost the bl**dy broadband again so missed heat 6, so thanks for the score update. I'm filling in my programme here and am having to compute the individual scores when the riders totals come up on screen when I miss a heat. (Hope that makes sense!) What was that you said.....'very relaxing'!

Thanks, back on since heat 2 but as you say.......the graphics guy seems to be on holiday!

result of heat 1 please......................my broadband went down at the tapes!!!!!!

Long been an issue that I have been following. Ask Bob Dugard at Eastbourne if this is possible!! Not so much the state of the track itself as how the graders 'treat' the gates as they pass over the starting line. I remember Alun Rossiter complaining at Kirky Lane that the water cart was over-watering certain gates before races in a meeting a few seasons ago. Not saying it was happening, but if someone like Rossiter brings it up he must know something.

Blimey, that's what I call an immediate response!!!! Keep up the good work.....................

So grateful for these streams but..............I do wish our friend on Premier Sports would have a better shot at pronouncing Thomasz' name....................Yed-zay-ak ( emphasis on the 'zay') is the nearest I can recommend, but certainly not Yed-ray-ak. Sorry to be pedantic, but it does grate. Still, on with the match...................
