Why do they not use rakers any more bringing the dirt back to the inside line as was a blue grove coming on the 4th bend yesterday and was hardly touched by the spinning wheel.I would not give up on bowes as hopefully come good and can build for the future.Yes Batchelor is not a no 1 but you have to think having better reserves this year and all to do with the points,Not a lot of options really as r-r probably the best but most of the team have been hit and miss this season  and covering the rides might not be a great idea.Still early days but a little concern.  

We shall see 

Long Eaton have more chance of winning the BSN Series than Poole.

I'm not sure it is personally...certainly not like when TNT/Eurosport/Sky are in town. I just think that certain promotions make zero effort to make any time up if/when incidents happen, whether that be air fence deflations or extended track grading. Yes it was a 7pm parade on a Saturday night with what looked like loads of kids in (judging by the "track invasion") but there was a match to get on. 

Off the top of my head, we had to endure a 15 minutes wait between heats 3 and 4, then a 32 - yes, 32 - minutes wait between heats 12 and 13. I actually thought BSN did their best to plug those ridiculous gaps. An utterly dreadful advert for speedway, that circuit. No wonder Plymouth can’t find a main sponsor. Who wants associated with that?

Don't think BSN says anything (sure I heard that in a broadcast a couple of years ago) about timing as they don't go to advert breaks.   The thing that others have mentioned to me is that people watching at home know the gate choice, changes etc before people who have paid to go to the stadium (doesn't bother me).
