Was that your upgrade!

Don't let facts get in the way of my banter please

Caution Shovlar is reversing! Caution Shovlar is reversing! Caution Shovlar is reversing! Caution Shovlar is reversing!

If you take the Polish contingent away the crowd is probably similar the the PCMT or British Final. Also don't forget the Poole fans are a gullible lot, they must be to torn up and watch what they do every week

Some team managers trying to be too clever by arf in the opening heats

They may as well have hired the stand that Worky bought from Wolverhampton than rent that bloody great thing!

1 Aussie 2 GB 3 Poland

I hope you're holding a sign like those beggars do at football... Dan, please can I have your race jacket Watering the track! Thank goodness!

The health and safety brigade must have been doing their nut!

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

You have to question whether they are "fans" then if that is the case... or freebie comps

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.

Banbor went down like Bambi

He was so masterful though

Is Dan injured?

Brave stuff from Henriksson... despite a Telford style start!

... and if you're in the South stand tomorrow night leave about 3 hours to get in through security!!!

Personally, I don't really care because I ain't going... will watch Eurosport meeting instead

If you've got a ticket for the East stand don't forget to bring your Anusol

... with their programmes

But a wet evening between 4 and 9... let's hope it's wrong!

Looks like it's going to be another wet one!

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?

Probably waiting to see if everybody has to be "upgraded" to sit in the middle tier.

But GB are seeded through to the final of SoN1 against 6 other teams qualifying from 2 semis also consisting of 7 teams??
