Whats the point in holding these events in the backwaters of Speedway? Two men and his dog watching onecof there own crowned world champion is pathetic

How can you tell from limited TV pictures.

By looking at Woffinden and watching him sing the national anthem when it was played. It was clear for all to see.

 

Good win by Kurtz in heat 1. What a shame Watt has the spot rather than Brady.

FIRST time I have ever watched a SGP live at 4am in the morning ... 15 hours behind Oz here in Florida

Welcome to the GP Davy. Shame Kurtz didn't get the number 16 berth..

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Got to say Watt looks a slimmer and younger man than the guy with heaps of worries and pressure on him at the start of the season.

Three heats of absolute boredom so far. Hopefully saying that will mean the track will now start to produce some actual racing.

He sung the GB national anthem at the SWC. What's your point Shovel.

Over 20k and you can hear the atmosphere is good

Not a great crowd. Shame as its Australias biggest ever speedway meeting. Perhaps the meeting should be run as as season opener rather than the last. That way the Aussies would see an injury free lineup and the last meetings would be where the fans are.

 

I noticed Woffinden singing the Aussie national anthem there. Unusual thing for a “Brit” to do.

 

Not really, I've sung the Portuguese one for example, also sung the Canadien one once.

Looks a poor crowd?

Very few speedway meetings have great racing in the first few races.

 

Crowd does look very disappointing.

The lad lived the vast majority of his childhood in Oz ffs.

It's called having dual heritage.

Bit of a sad and silly Woffy bashing early on.

 

WTF is Watt doing in the meeting? Huge mistake by the organisers.

Bore fest after 4 heats.

Steve Shovlar tried to sing the Spanish anthem.

Can you?? Loads of gaps in the crowd... whats the point of going to these big stadiums then having no one in them

Studio. ‘The track looks very good doesn’t it”. Jesus wept.

IF there are 25,000 - 20,000 at the stadium it will look half empty which is the same as Cardiff. Both are huge stadiums. There aren't any outdoor speedways stadiums to fit that crowd. You can't win.
