Great news... this forum would be a hell of a lot quieter without all of the Birmingham fiascos .

More guests than a Downing Street party

I've been to 30 so far this season, Left my blinkers at home Leicester Birmingham Scumthorpe Peterborough Oxford Belle Vue

remind me how many matches you've been to this season again?

Don't think Bomber's too happy judging by his face last night and what he's just not said on Twitter

A fiver I think

So... how many guests? I genuinely don't know who rides for who anymore these days!

In a word.... Television. Speedway has always danced to the tune of Television and while they were getting the big bucks from sky you could argue the case that was the right thing to do. But now we're working with these amateurs from Eurosport you could think it's doing more harm than good

I don't think that was the case, as far as I know it's the home governing body that makes the decision as regards a GP wild card and for the FIM to accept or reject it. That's the way it works for GP's in other countries, that's why you get the likes of Nick Skorja included when the GP's are held in the back of beyond... the UK in the past chose an Australian for a wild card spot, how forward thinking was that?

How many times were they in and out of that media room? Can somebody clip it up and put it to the Benny Hill music?

I don't blame them for maximising their earnings... but they could go and get another job like millions of others have to do when they have their careers ended through redundancy etc. Why should they be any different to the rest of us?

And you can take the family... result!

He said the majority of riders

I blame Poole

Erm... I did

I called this before the start, Ellis to Cardiff and British Championship rerun in October. It's the common sense decision and hopefully it won't be on Eurosport and will be on a Saturday night so I'll be more inclined to actually attend. What is unacceptable though is the inability of anybody to make a decision that I reached half an hour before the start. Again the fans are at the very bottom of anybody's concerns. Which is pretty much par for the course with the current and every other regime. Eurosport running their show as if no rain was forecast at all, despite everybody saying rain is forecast didn't help things either

Should have held it at Odsal under the superdome roof

Adam Ellis in his Doug Wyer tribute race suit! I do like a tassle

October? Adam Ellis seeded from last year?

Surprised they didn't cancel it based on the forecast

looking at the rainfall radar they'll be lucky to start let alone finish!

I'm sure it wasn't just to annoy me

Do you know what the attendances/capacities are for the other GP venues?

There should be equivalent tickets available, I'm not saying there are, but if that's not the case they need naming and shaming and the authorities need notifying

My ticket was £22 and I get the SGP2 on Sunday also! How much VFM do you want?!?
