A very poor meeting in difficult conditions with an easy win for Jason Doyle. I think all but about three or four of the races were won from gate 4.
I can understand the difficulties in arranging a metting like this and had the field included Howe, Woffinden and Schlien as it would have done without an EL match being re-arranged for today it would have been a very different story.
I am absolutely not one to criticise the promotion as it's a thankless task they do but the one thing that does annoy me is the lack of communication to the fans. For example there was no word that Kenni Larsen wouldn't be riding, presumably because it may have put people off attending, but that just creates mis-trust and the feeling that you've been a bit conned. As a constructive criticism I think the line-up should be published regardless so at least fans can make their own decision on whether to attend or not. If you don't publish the line-up then only the die-hards will attend anyway. At least that way you wouldn't feel a bit cheated although I'm sure that wasn't the intention.
Anyway rant over, a truely awful season has ended so let's hope George and Darryl can put together a good side for 2009. Hope the stories I was hearing about Kenni possibly not being in the team because of some sort of apprentership in Denmark aren't true and he will be back.
