Giving their own fans terrific value for money in a short space of time, as they get to see England have two full innings, while the opposition fans only get to see their team have one... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are people like me really the last fans standing. My 2 eldest kids have found better things to do (teenagers) while my youngest is still Aces mad. Chase the Ace is great and the white line challenge is a good idea. What I’d like to see is a faster show. 15 heats in an hour or just over. Most of the time I don’t think the NSS needs grading every 4 heats. Speedway needs to be exciting, which it is but dragging it out makes it dull, even for 37 year veterans like me. Make it fast, punchy and loud. This won’t happen with the tv there. Except the 7.45 start time, I thought it was pretty quick considering tv. as for the racing, not great imo . And I’ve found that for the last few years. It’s fast and excited granted but lesser riders are never going to have the speed to make passes or trouble the front guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
