And unless the riders/promotion are willing to publish their wage slips online, how can anyone be sure that the extra admission fees will be going directly to the riders?

I think that people were disappointed with the performance, however I cannot say it was unexpected. I thought GB would have come second, I never thought they could beat Denmark, but as it goes 2nd and 3rd both get to the race off, regardless of how they performed. In my opinion, I think the wrong decision was made to go with the track specialists. I have no experience of riding, and no experience of track prep, however as a fan I believe that the track specialists would ride the track how they are used to in League racing, regardless of how the set up was last night. Of course there will be Brits supporting GB regardless of their performance last night. The Poles support Poland because they are Polish, the Swedes support Sweden because they are Swedish...Half the Brits support Britain Because they are British, the other half support Denmark because they are the favourites to win and glory hunters don't want to be seen supporting a team like GB. Back to the manager situation, would it have been possible to have a team manager who makes the decisions, then someone to motivate riders in the pits? Surely someone like David Norris, who is respected by the riders as someone who was a rider and seems to have the passion that managers often do not have.

Just wondering if this meeting is free admitance as all the other rounds have been free. We went to Mildenhall last Sunday purposely to watch this meeting and it was cancelled. We would like to watch the under 15 meeting but due to prior commitments we cannot stay for the Bronze helmet meeting.

We were just wondering this. Is he drunk or has he recently had a fall and took a knock to the head?
