Hodder has really not really improved with 2 Full Seasons at reserve.

I'm already a bit concerned about Mario Hausl and Freddy Hodder. Hodder looked dreadful at Ashfield last Friday and Hausl only achieving six points and a bonus point from 3 meetings after arriving on a 5 point average doesn't bode well imo. Maybe he will get better but i can eventually see him being shipped out like Ashton Boughen was a year ago. He just cannot gate.

Advance sales look poor, probably the lowest I have seen in the Grandstand.   Blocks A and B are usually three quarters full by now, I would say one third full at best currently... And seats behind the tapes are a fifth full at best... There is even South Stand Car Parking available which usually goes a few days before the meeting.. BSN impacting maybe?  There isn't any real threat of rain (admittedly it is Manchester).. Hopefully the South Stand is full given it is a whole £2 cheaper... To be honest £50 for a couple to stand watching Speedway does seem to be a tad too much...

Poor.

I can see a fairly comfortable home win.  54-36 Ipswich missing Doyle and Sayfutdinov is a hugely different team.      Brennan, Musielak, King and Lawson can all perform OK at the N.S.S., but they will all need to be on form togerher. Hellstrom-Bangs could be a big scorer at reserve.   He really wanted to be riding for Belle Vue ahead of any other British club, so tonight is his chance to show them they were wrong when he was begging them for a team place.  

He was awful in sparring matches too for Czestochowa.
