He done well, but speedway is toe-to-toe and moments matter. Heat seven was the turning point last night and we needed more from Flint. Similar to last season in the play-off final when Kerr passed Dan Thompson in heat 11 or 12 (I can’t remember). Those are the fine lines that win meetings. There are fifteen opportunities to win a speedway match, but there are isolated moments in which champions elects deliver.

Correct. The best meeting I was at last season was the play-off final second leg at Ashfield and we lost. Do not misinterpret me Steve; speedway in the UK will die without entertaining racing.

I agree about BSN, especially as I've bought a season pass. But I am pleased to say that I bought the stream and enjoyed the conclusion of this 2 leg semi final. It was a bit strange to see riders you'd expect to see scoring a few points, top scoring and established heat leaders really struggling. But that added to the drama. Some out-and-out committed riding in a "true" knock out competition.  Well done to both sides on both nights. A real racing competition.

Yep, Batchelor, despite getting a lot of hate, has never missed a meeting for us and he travels a long way. He may have his off nights but he's saved us a lot more than he's let us down. True captain. UTC!

Careless words and all that! Isn't that what they used to say?

The only negative tonight is Ben barkers injury and hopefully it’s not serious but if it is it’ll be interesting to see if the may make two changes.    I don’t know off the top of my head if there is someone on a 7.57 that can replace Bens points at home. I’m not sure how far Riss would be away but he could be a straight swap.   However you could possibly make 2 changes with barker and Spencer and that could cover the points. Would have 9.57 to cover for two riders.
