Great to see such a great portrayal of our sport and performed by a talented top group. Top vid and commentary.

Wow. Stunned, but delighted to see this.

 

The video, just like the song, is pure Elbow, understated but beautiful & poignant. Its heart-warming to see such recognition of the Aces & the importance of their history in Manchester.

 

With all the apparent negativity & doom surrounding UK speedway at present, this is a welcome reminder of what the sport and each individual club, means to a dwindling band of passionate folk, throughout the country. Its all a bit sentimental, but hey, what's wrong with that?

 

Lets hope that this video & the subsequent mainstream exposure, is another timely boost for the Aces & their plans for the new stadium.

A superb compilation. Strangely enough, for me, I enjoyed the Music too.

 

A terrific advert for Speedway.

Is that an official video then? I am well chuffed... well and truly gobsmacked. Elbow are not a bad group... but this record, and I've only heard it for the first time... ably backed by a superb video, I have to say... moxey63 likes it!

 

Speedway don't half look good... I knew there was a reason for it.

 

Just off to download the Elbow ditty!

I actuall enjoyed the downbeat nature of it, the storytelling of days gone past to a soundtrack with melonchony undertones.

Very cool indeed.

It's difficult to define, but there is a certain working man's grittiness in speedway. It works so well on film.
