  1. The health and safety brigade must have been doing their nut!
  2. I saw him filling up with petrol near to the NSS talking to the service station attendant, more likely to see him in the team
  3. You have to question whether they are "fans" then if that is the case... or freebie comps
  4. Speedway not the only sport with attendance issues. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9VTImzsKmy/?igsh=MWQxd3dvYjM1YmZoaQ== At least they'll have paid for a ticket though and the whole event will have been underwritten by TV money and sponsorship.
  5. Brave stuff from Henriksson... despite a Telford style start!
  6. ... and if you're in the South stand tomorrow night leave about 3 hours to get in through security!!!
  7. Personally, I don't really care because I ain't going... will watch Eurosport meeting instead
  8. If you've got a ticket for the East stand don't forget to bring your Anusol
  9. But a wet evening between 4 and 9... let's hope it's wrong!
  10. I'm sorry, I don't know if I'm being thick (don't answer that!) but I still don't get it... is it because there were 7 quali spots up from last year but because GB came last they've made it 8? Or were there qualifiers this year and what happens if a nation that aren't currently in it want to be in it, USA for example?
  11. Probably waiting to see if everybody has to be "upgraded" to sit in the middle tier.
  12. But GB are seeded through to the final of SoN1 against 6 other teams qualifying from 2 semis also consisting of 7 teams??
  13. Is there any particular reason why SoN2 has 8 teams competing while SoN has 7?
  14. Something to do with his estranged wife and got the children working for one of the sponsors I think
  15. That's not something common to Speedway, there's only really PL Football that can fill a stadium. We're often told that events are "sold out" only to see many empty seats when it's on TV, F1 being a prime example. We were told by the commentators that the Snooker World Champs was sold out, again many empty seats, even for the final! Look at Wimbledon this year, many empty seats. Maybe Speedway could do with a "Royal Box" as for some reason the organisers of these events seem to think that there's a benefit to having a load of free-loading celebs in attendance or perhaps just lower the ticket prices. My 4 day ticket works out at £30.75 per meeting, which I'm happy to pay but it's not family friendly... for a "family" sport.
  16. I think this rain may just finish the track off for tonight
  17. Credit to the track staff and whoever it was that forced the riders out!
