Didn’t pay off on this occasion. Expand No harm in trying, losing a 7-2 is no worse than losing a 6-3. Had to try something. It's pretty much the only times riders looked to slow the opposition, in the last 2 races. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it stands to reason it would be a mickey mouse cup Even Poland has a mickey mouse team So there it is we just have to live with these things 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInTheDHSS Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Give it 10 mins once the euphoria of Britain winning has died down, and I'm sure this forum will revert to type and the moaning about the crowd size will take priority. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 (edited) I'm actually glad there was a poor crowd or at least loads of spaces available in the stands. Speedway fans have let the promoters know what they are prepared to pay, had the stadium been full, then it could have been made more expensive next time. If Belle Vue hold the SON, SWC or a GP in the future, they'll have to make tickets cheaper, find a sponsor, get discovery to ask for less money or let Poland host everything.

Loads of empty seats at the end. Poor crowd Rob and you know it. Racing was very good as expected.

Hawk127 Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 If only the press would recognise the win given the bigger sporting picture with England tomorrow. No doubt they don’t give a fig, just as well you have the supporters that the sport has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
