That was towards the end of the season, on a Saturday and in a central location. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been at Poole before and the attendance hasn't been terrible but has the event been promoted properly? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 10, 2018 I guess the BSPA will continue to run this meeting until such time as they cant turn a profit on it. How times have changed from the days when riders had to battle hard to even get a place at Belle Vue for that end of season Finale. Really meant something to even get there, let alone win it. I guess thats the World of Speedway in The UK in 2018. Amazing what the punters are prepared to put up with these days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He comes last in the final and because I said he blew the final I’m having a pop! Your a little bit to precious sweetie In the Aussie champs he blew every final and again he came last here. It’s not having a dig it’s just factual. What do you want me to say lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 10, 2018 I found it a very boring event last night. Poor racing, a terribly dusty track for the last half dozen heats, while the first 8 heats were the same as Swindon on Monday with little to no passing. All played out in front of a small crowd. Only saw one visiting Swindon fan sitting behind us. Not sure how Gavan can say Brady blew the final. He was on one of the worst gates with the World champ on the best gate! I have to say the program was excellent though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
