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

LagutaRacingFan Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Emil and Artem have a 100% winning record in the Speedway of Nations. Them not riding has made this event more interesting.

Expand No Rob. They would have filled empty seats which generate zero money. Rather bums on seats for £30 than a seat sitting empty. The club knew the attendance was dire but didn’t go pro-active to do something about it last week or this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted July 13, 2024 Report Share Posted July 13, 2024 Great win for Team GB,I'm beaming at the moment.The only thing that I thought was wrong was Stead lifting the trophy first,shouldn't that had been the captain.Maybe I missed something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this event has shown me is that Russia would wipe the floor with this field. Emil and Artem would hit 7-2s in every heat. Expand I do wonder reading your post's and your fascination with the Russian if you’re are a patient in a mental asylum. Did you see Zmarzliks crash in mid-week? A lot riders if they were leading the World Championship would have decided to stay at home and have a rest. If I remember righty Laguta Pulled out and missed meetings with sprained ankle !!
