Advance sales in grandstand are 300 down on last week. First day back in school for most kids probably affected it plus the expense, 3 meetings in 3 weeks. 

Hopefully many will still rock up and attend..

Luckily I pick and choose who to watch so dont fork out for each meeting..

Been to the PCMM and the opening Sheffield match which were both good meetings..

More of the same tonight would mean a decent evening out...

Laguta next week too so someone else worth paying to see..

Doyle and Sayfutdinov could have three races together, which, if they ended 15-3 to the Witches, no one would give a second glance to..

11 races with a TS for one of those two would bring around 30 points so Ipswich will be in the mix...

And if they only have 10 races, so no TS needed, then Ipswich will definitely be in the mix, and Ht13 and 15 could easily go their way...

Looking forward to some cracking racing, let's hope the warm, windy weather doesn't dry the track too much..

You're being blasé to think that Doyle & Sayfutdinov "could easily" have the beating of Bewley & Kurtz at the NSS.  I would suggest 13 & 15 "could easily" goin the favour of the Aces.

It’s better than a normal race night on a school night.

That's good,good to know that the better riders may attract a few more people back or even newbies.

Or Bewley. Would feel shortchanged had I been there.

4 more rides each than we would have seen them in last season,so maybe better value than last year:).I know what you are saying though.

Some cracking racing...

Track staff did a great job given the dry, slightly windy conditions..

Track had both an inside and outside line which allowed passing..

Not seen Doyle so down on power before, even when leading the Aces riders he was blocking them more than moving further away from them..

Lidsey, Rew, Kurtz, Bewley and Emil absolutely top class entertainment...

And Charles Wright did a "special" in Ht 14 to block pass Rew brilliantly.. 

Proper "hard riding" as Emil had done to Kurtz earlier.. 

One gripe is the No7's..

No disrespect but why are these lads riding in the top league? Can't be good for them.. 

They need ring fenced positions in Div 2 as they often dont bring much to the meetings other than racing against themselves..

Run in the topl flight with six man teams and share out the money not spent on the 7th roder on the six that do.. 

No other sport makes it compulsory to include "youth team" level competitors to go up against world class level opponents, so in such a technical, specialised sport as Speedway it makes it even more of a poor idea..

Norick once again continues to impress and is developing nicely, and Ben Barker rode his whatsits off as usual for minimal rewards.. 

You would certainly not feel £24 is too much to watch entertainment like this..

Roll on next week to watch Artem...
