Odds On

very poor in term of racing only kept awake because the closeness of the score. Aussies have won their Cup Final tonight, a battle between them and GB for a place on the rostrum.

well I bet the youngsters learnt a lot from that tonight!

The guy has pissed all over the British fans, so if he's giving the youngsters a chance surely he'll be in the pits helping them out!

just shows the guy is the complete ??....so what was the point in him riding in the previous round?...I bet the Germans are a bit miffed with him, as without him the Yanks would of been smoked and the Germans would of been in Manchester tonight.

really enjoyed the weekend and the camping went well as well.

Think we have seen the winners tonight, Sweden look the real deal to me.

bump...and need I say any more!

Bomber has been a great ambassador for both the sport and his Country, how many other riders could we say the same about.

Crowd looked down on previous meetings?

Anybody have a link please.

Post of the year....he's a bigger fool than I gave him credit for!

There are no riders just purely on appearance money, most are on a guarantee and points money, even promoters are not that stupid! However its not rocket science to watch certain Sky meetings and see both sets of promoters lose money, a heat 15 5-1 could cost a promoter any where between 30-50 paying public!

last nights meeting was a poor advert for the sport.

anyone remember "soldier boy" who was a bit of a character on the terraces?

It is becoming more and more evident that the Elite league is fast approaching its sell by date, how refreshing to see overtaking and close racing last night in the Premier League and also how enjoyable and interesting to have no boring and tedious interviews with the likes of Rossiter, Middleditch and co. Surely the time has come for the BSPA to do a deal with Sky to take the so called Elite league off of our tv's and replace it with mainly the Premier League and even the odd meeting from the National League. The Premier league is far from perfect but in terms of entertainment and excitement it is almost like a different product to the Elite league. The programme has a real future the only problem is that it is stale with the same teams, same team managers being interviewed year in year out. Let the programme promote our sport and show people it is exciting, riders can pass and we have different characters in the sport.

Hows the new stadium looking, has Rosco it opened yet?..there was a picture of him with a speedway bike and a set of plans many moons ago in the local paper!!

pretty similar to a certain Aussie who displays his lack of enthusiasm for a track by not putting it all in....not much difference really only that one of them has a pair.

Just looked at his interview after heat two, he had the lump then so no dramas after all!!

Who lumped Bridger?...he's got a beaut of a lump over one of his eyes.

I always thought his passing was more to do with the way he squared the corners off when overtaking!!

Fact #1..Bjarne is a poor mans version of Todd Wiltshire, start tart. Fact #2..Most riders nowadays cant ride on anything other than a smooth, slick track. Fact #3..The Pirates don't like it up em! Fact #4..Brady Kurtz is an accident waiting to happen. So on that assumption any fan walking into the stadium and see's a track that is anything other than ultra smooth can expect riders to not put it all in?

To be honest I'd rather watch racing on a track like this than some of the roads we usually see.

Yeah the tracks rough in places but proves the point most riders nowadays don't know how to race other than on a smooth track. The likes of Bomber, Nicholls, Loram, Gollob etc would of stayed on,

Always good to see the Englishman win.

Bjarne is just clueless when behind.
