Steve Shovlar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Not a great crowd. Shame as its Australias biggest ever speedway meeting. Perhaps the meeting should be run as as season opener rather than the last. That way the Aussies would see an injury free lineup and the last meetings would be where the fans are. I noticed Woffinden singing the Aussie national anthem there. Unusual thing for a “Brit” to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Whats the point in holding these events in the backwaters of Speedway? Two men and his dog watching onecof there own crowned world champion is pathetic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 How can you tell from limited TV pictures. By looking at Woffinden and watching him sing the national anthem when it was played. It was clear for all to see. Good win by Kurtz in heat 1. What a shame Watt has the spot rather than Brady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 FIRST time I have ever watched a SGP live at 4am in the morning ... 15 hours behind Oz here in Florida 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Welcome to the GP Davy. Shame Kurtz didn't get the number 16 berth.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Got to say Watt looks a slimmer and younger man than the guy with heaps of worries and pressure on him at the start of the season. Three heats of absolute boredom so far. Hopefully saying that will mean the track will now start to produce some actual racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd does look very disappointing. Edited October 28, 2017 by BWitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I noticed Woffinden singing the Aussie national anthem there. Unusual thing for a “Brit” to do. The lad lived the vast majority of his childhood in Oz ffs. It's called having dual heritage. Bit of a sad and silly Woffy bashing early on. WTF is Watt doing in the meeting? Huge mistake by the organisers. Bore fest after 4 heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Can you?? Loads of gaps in the crowd... whats the point of going to these big stadiums then having no one in them IF there are 25,000 - 20,000 at the stadium it will look half empty which is the same as Cardiff. Both are huge stadiums. There aren't any outdoor speedways stadiums to fit that crowd. You can't win.
