I get that regarding calling it based on a weather forecast, KL's postponement this week (along with others historically) calling it the day before was ridiculous for the sport. As for last night, BSN interviewed the ref on his track walk and he said the track was ok, the riders were even doing the coin toss in front of the cameras 5 minutes before it was called for goodness sake for it to then be called off was also ridiculous for the sport. There was obviously concerns over the track as it was all the BSN crew were going on about prior to the scheduled start time... despite continually going on about how good it was all going to be. Riders, management and officials should be at the track at least 90 minutes before the start time and a decision made whether to run or not long before fans are allowed into the stadium. If a match can't then be started then the home team should forfeit the points.

It's funny because the BSN crew spent about half an hour telling us how good it was going to be! It's madness... you have 1 club calling a meeting off over 24 hours before it was due to start based on an incorrect forecast and another who let all the fans in and call it off without a race being run! All in the space of 48 hours

Eurosport's coverage deteriorated even further last night where most of the ad-breaks were just filled with musical video montages instead of interesting extra content as was fanfared at the start of the season

Was thinking the exact same thing myself while watching last night. It's a particularly poor camera angle that they use for the majority coverage at Wolves and doesn't show the racing in the best possible way

Good close match with plenty of good racing... if you didn't like that, you don't like Speedway

Why not run on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon then... that makes better business sense

Have you ever watched Premier Sport?

Maybe Havvy was talking Pirate... Arrrrrggggh

I'm no prude and am not adverse to a bit of effing and jeffing myself... in the right environment though. Would it be acceptable for example for the centre green presenter to swear during his presentation? I think not If i wanted an incoherent sweary old man in my living room I'd take in the local tramp. It's no coincidence that Sky binned bin off and BT & Eurosport have never touched him with a barge pole and he seems quite bitter about that. For me he very nearly spoiled what was otherwise an excellent night off Speedway and didn't add anything to the broadcast rambling on with his incoherent anecdotes during races.

I think it's far more professional than other so called professional broadcasters. And I also think that the people that run it like to think they are running a professional outfit, you can tell that by the investment in new kit, the great comms with customers etc. I don't think we'll be seeing Havvy on there again in a while

So in his commentary he managed to say B*ll*cked, @rse, 5h1t, F'd off a number of times and a debateable F**kin... what a pro

Great comeback from the Bears, brilliant performance by Jordan Jenkins, Speedway at its best. Whoever wins, Speedway is the winner tonight

Havvy's accent has broken the kit

I like how Kyle Newman's pit bay just has a strip of tape through the name Bickley

Yeah, Danny King letting them down big time

Some good Speedway tonight. Interesting that Tom Brennan has been given the captaincy ahead of Craig Cook

Well he definitely just said bollocked there... ironic really as he spent most of his time on Twitter pre pandemic slagging Kelvin Tatum and Nigel Pearson off for their commentary Wouldn't surprise me if he gets the hook in the next few heats

No, before that, it was bearly understandable whatever he said

Ver, ver drunk

Did he just drop an F-Bomb there?

Sounds like the drunken tramp in town shouting at the pigeons

Has anybody managed to catch ANYTHING Havvy has said yet?

A proper 3 or 5 Test series like we used to have would be far more tempting for me

No maybe... he did, just look at the score sheet
