What a,shambles this is......

Bewley is enjoying it!  The Witches know that the Holders can't cope with this sort of surface, so they might as well build up a lead ...

When Tatum did the track walk, it looked much harder on the outside - perhaps they ripped it up after he had been out there!?

Ipswich have done the track for their team and why not make it so the away riders are scared of it.

Dan B is an away rider...

So is Batch....

EFF Me!!!

And you expect people to pay money to watch this crap..,

 

It’s why I stopped going to meetings a good while back. First you had six riders and Mr R/R and now you have a sad imitation of what use to be such a good evenings entertainment and the club owners think this is acceptable. CL use to command respective but now he has joined the ranks of BP and dear old Godfrey.

After all these years Eurosport are getting worse, camera work all over the place, graphics wtf, commentators no idea of the rules, all cobbled together.

Track is tricky - nothing like it was on thurs last week! Witches might regret dropping these points early on! 
 

and who the heck is doing the scores!

Bewley seems to be enjoying the track however  

I said earlier tonight would be the complete opposite of Thursday. Thursday was dry, slick and easy to ride. I’d heard a whisper that tonight was going to be a difficult track. Last year it was a difficult track against Sheffield in the cup due to weather and the Sheffield boys didn’t fancy it. The track conditions were then repeated a week later in the play offs to take the Holders out of the game. I’m afraid it’s a case of win at all costs this evening. Weather has been fine, and this is the most difficult the track has been all season long. That isn’t a coincidence.

They must tailor their approach to the professionalism of those who deliver it...

I would've done the same thing considering top spot is on the line.

Like you say it's win at all costs.

Probably, 2 pints of Lager and a packet of stale crisps.

Absolutely agree. British speedway at its best if you believe the morons who run it. You really wonder why those in charge think that this is a spectacle, it is crap and when you look at Poland and the crowd, the atmosphere and even if the racing is not good the rest makes up for it. Dan Bewley is in town and a depleted crowd says it all.  It is an embarrassment. 

Second of three home matches in 8 days, two of which on TV - several people of the Witches Facebook page said they wouldn't go to all three (couldn't afford to).

Watching on Eurosport and the picture is breaking up sums up the rubbishe state of the sport, no wonder it is not taken seriously and even having a 1/2 in the GP in Cardiff the media is not interested. Sums up the position of the sport and who in there right mind would want to get involved in this mickey mouse presentation or put serious money into speedway. You faff about having to follow it on Discovery+ and most discerning follows simply cannot be bothered to hunt down the televised coverage. BSPL seemingly do not have a brain when it comes to the most sensible media exposure.
