Helmet camera - aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I have an amazing idea they can use, it’s called television camera. It’s on a fixed point with an experienced operator pointing it at the action.

Craig cook tactical sub according to Eurosport despite being just 2 points behind. And kelvin doesn’t notice or question it. 

At least he wasn't called the rising star all evening....

Some decent races tonight, it has to be in the interest of speedway to find a way to get the crowd in for free on television meetings, it’s been a good sporting watch tonight but the crowd is embarrassing and unfortunately visual is everything

Ryan Douglas does impress both here and in Poland. One to watch in years to come.

Bit of a slow burner then,He's 31 years old this year.

Leicester’s gamble with Cook definitely hasn’t worked out, easy to say should have kept Kemp but you’d think Dickson will be on the look out to replace at least one if not two of the Lions current 1-7

Old ground Dean...

No chance of FOMO  from anyone watching sadly...

Might as well just fill the place with 500 kids and their parents for free...

The challenge though is always to get them to return and part with the thick end of £35 for the same tickets after just one visit...

And Speedway sadly has an unrealistic, "build it and they will come" mentality rather than an organic long term growth plan...

Guestfest after Guestfest also does it no favours..

Nor does having play offs for leagues with so few participants, as when you know you are a shoe in to qualify, and another dead rubber Guestfest is planned, (and maybe on TV) the likelihood is many will keep the circa £50 for a single admission, petrol, and something to eat and drink, in their pocket..

Certainly something has to change at either 3 or 4 because that is killing us at the moment.

The Lions former Wolves riders have been exposed this year.

Protected by Monbore for too long.

Why do they do well in Poland. Is it the machinery in the UK is second best or what. I cannot believe that a rider is not chasing the cash unless they are on such a good guaranteed minimum that turning up is enough to top up the bank account.

Polish carpet rug tracks make bang average riders look good.

But even then as good as a TV league match is to watch on the TV, it's deathly dull when you're actually in attendance with the extended delays while the TV people are doing their Tv things. Until this is addressed, along with the cost, Tv meetings will never attract any sort of crowd unless it's a play off

I could swallow that if he was crap at and hated BP but did ok at other tracks, but he’s been dreadful away too.
