Also what no one is mentioning is that if your whole family are Speedway fans, you are only paying the £15 once for all of you. People are forever moaning about what it costs to take a family, so this is surely a huge saving?

As a native of the Aces now living in north London £14.99 for live coverage of the meeting, produced very well and excellent stream I thought it very good value. Hopefully the club get a cut of the sales income so it’s a win for the club and a definite win for me. Great racing , great meeting.

Well I paid the £15 to watch it from comfort of my own home and I am happy I did. The meeting was presented well by BV and as expected and the riders rose to the challenge and provided top notch racing. Quality of the stream was very good, the camera angles very adequate, the commentary was ok. Negatives of the meeting in relationship to the streaming was the seemingly lack of knowledge of how great Ove Fundin was and the battles he and Peter Craven had…..but then I am an Ove Fundin fan. My other moan, not the fault of the stream company, BSN, was the length of time grading the track after every four races. Thankfully BSN covered the time with an interview, but there again, if I had been at BV and not streaming then that excessive tractor grading would certainly have been very boring. I wasn’t there….maybe the time spent was necessary. So, I spent £15, I sat in the comfort of my own home, no petrol money spent, no hassle travelling 30 mile each way in rush hour traffic (it was 7 o’clock start), I could easily have spent £8-£10 on a fish and chip supper on the way home, and risked a call off meeting due to weather (but it was BV and the track is more weather friendly because it was built right). £15 well spent in my opinion.

Not exactly robbery as you have a choice whether to pay/watch it.

Fortunately there aren't many like you out there. What an embarrassment.

she did look ok but the track was very slick very smooth the times were slower than when Dan Bewley had the track record for the colts in 2017. she rode middle of track most of the time. listen there will never be a woman speedway world champion in a million years, not even a transgender man/ woman, not unless zmarzlic comes clean,

I thought Celina's interview on BSN was great, she explained the early problems they had with getting the power down and how they had made changes. She was definitely more competitive in her last two races and was on the pace . Her English was great, she comes across as really personable and you can tell she is living the dream. Can't help but wish her all the best with the Comets in the Championship. I thought the stream was good quality, the interviews filled the grading breaks nicely and it was novel watching 5 rider semi and 6 rider final plus it was on for over 3 hours and there was some really good racing.

What I saw of her last season,she will certainly give most of the reserves in the League a run for their money.Wish her well.

You don’t have to buy it though, just watch Emmerdale.

Encouraging from Celina great experience being on track and in the pits with some of the worlds best. countdown is on now can’t wait for our first meeting away at Scunny!

Well our lady rider was not far of the pace in the Peter craven meeting, did not score a point but looked OK against the very big boys, her last ride was good, well done Celina, she will score points in the championship no bother

As a cost cutting measure have you thought about leaving the wife at home? I've just totted up my costs for this meeting at £56.76... I wish I hadn't! So yes add another £25 and I can see where you're coming from. Arguably the line-up for this meeting is as good as you're going to see in this country this year, the 6 rider final is truly spectacular to watch and as comfortable as watching it from the home can be, you can't beat live Speedway! Horses for courses though, I was able to travel up there at the time I wanted and on my own.

While I agree with the points in testimonials and friendlies not meaning a lot for a rider who had a lot of trouble last year to be mixing it in the final with fast Freddie was great to see and I hope he gets sorted a team

He complained close contact with Lindgren's footrest took out spokes in his front wheel.

I think the new names to the UK may well surprise everyone Celina, Tate and Antti are dark horses and will be keen to make their names. I wouldn't mind betting the Premiership sides will be watching to pick up their next reserves.

I think Celina is going to prove a few people wrong this season. Well done girl...

I don't think its to bad some gp riders, decent track and watching at home for 15 quid.

It's good but not as seriously as good as some other sides

Comets will have a final rider of that there is no doubt. Don't know what is happening regarding Craig but if he is having issues and is not 100% committed then for the sake of the promotion and fans I hope he does the right thing.

Quite true, this young man has been riding on the beach with Dan the Man and Brady Kurtz as well as putting in laps at Northside both on the track and round the small training track on a dirt bike. Tate and his mam have also been mucking in with ongoing work at Northside. Thoroughly impressed by their work ethic, quite refreshing.

@Supersteady84 you know dont you??

Unibet offer Polish top flight, Swedish, GP and World Cup also. Bet365 offer all of the above, plus the UK Premiership and Polish Liga1 and the televised Liga2 match usually plus individuals.

All races live on ITV 3/4 this weekend

So we had two planned meetings on Thursday. One went ahead on a damp track and the other was called off. Some supporters have said that the meeting that went ahead should have been called off and at the same time others have criticised the promotion who called their meeting off for not trying to run. Seems to me that whatever the two promotions had done they would be told they had done the wrong thing! I constantly read that promoters don't have a clue but when there are only two possible actions in a situation both courses of action are criticised. Maybe this shows just how difficult it is to run a speedway track and maybe we should accept that while we all think we understand how things should be run, we are not the ones who can lose a fortune running the sport.
