Best Pairs Cup

I think it has been pretty good so far, at least for a meeting this early in the season.

Good way to get the early season cobwebs dusted off. It also looks like a freezing cold night which may have kept some spectators indoors. Still not a bad crowd at all in a magnificent stadium.

Probably not a bad attendance,but I sort of wish they would focus on the fuller areas instead of showing so many empty seats...........I know it is a cheat,but looks better

You're right it is a cheat best to show it how it is.No bigger cheats than Sky when covering the Elite league,apparently Swindon will have 9 cameras at their new stadium,probably all to focus on one patch of tarmac in front of the main stand.

Whatever the reasons, it's madness that Britain is not involved in this....how can they expect to be contenders on the world stage if they are not in events like this....they deserve all they get .

Watching Manzares and the Latvians gaining experience on the world stage , it shouldn't surprise us if they outpace any young Brits down the road.. Good for them and meanwhile the UK snores away.......

I had been looking forward to this all week.

 

I have to watch Eurosport on my pc via a Sky go link to my Son's Sky account. Sky go needs me to run a programme called Silverlight to enable me to view.

 

All my browsing is done via Chrome and Chrome no longer supports Silverlight.

 

I switched to Internet Explorer but I could not get a connection.

 

In desperation I installed Firefox and reinstalled Silverlight. Both installed correctly but Silverlight would not run, so Sky go would not play.

 

So, I missed the meeting and unless my Son can rectify the problem, no speedway for me.

 

Aaaargh!!!!

Just thought it makes the event look better if you don't show empty seats.That was my opinion,but my girlfriend who isn't a speedway fan came and watched a bit and was impressed with the crowd.So I guess it is what part of the programme you watch and what your expectations are.Was a good start to the season,could have been better and I guess I wonder why such a big meeting is on so early in the season,but if the weather had been better maybe the stadium would have been packed.

Perhaps they wanted to minimize scheduling conflicts by putting the events during the time of the season when there aren't that many other events going on?
