Some great racing tonight. Niels and the mighty Leon.

Who knows ? Poland and Sweden have adopted a different business model to the UK. Many top riders no longer need or want to ride in the UK especially with the travelling involved and the lack of a fixed night because of the stadiums mostly not being owned by the speedway teams. I just know which I would sooner watch. Fair play to those who think differently.

But they do put "bums on seats". The last 2 Elite League meetings I have watched- Eastbourne on Saturday and Lakeside last night had pitiful attendances.

I just switched over to Sopcast - 148887 and lo and behold they were showing heat 2. About a 3 minute delay on the Eurosport UK transmission. I'll keep my mouth shut!

How can you not love a team that has Emil and the mighty "Little Leon" at one and two. ? Of course, now I 've said that, they'll get in each others way and give up a 5-1.

Hi all, May the Scandanavian weather gods smile upon us. I have my Ermolenkoish dictionary by my side, so let's go.

Take care all, I need a stiff drink to steady my nerves after such a thrilling meeting. Alan.

Kelvin "It's not the greatest of action out on the track" You don't say mate.

Good job you said that. I'd get arrested.

I'm on the official stream which has been absolutely perfect. Unlike the meeting.........

After peacefully yawning through this with no commentary, Nigel and Kelv are now on board, so thrills it is from hereon.

"Word is that all tickets will have gone today".... Someone is telling porkies bigtime.

BSI and their apologists never admit to doing the slightest thing wrong. It's always "outside forces" at work.

Beforehand you might have fancied both Greg and Niels for a podium spot. Looks unlikely tonight to say the least. Chris Harris looking a tad better.

Just like being there. All the noise and PA but no commentary. No problem at all. As you know I;m usually listening to Polish or Danish or Ermolenkoish. Seems to have been a bit of pre-meeting B/S going on. I'm utterly shocked!!

Tai looks ultra-fast. Well done mate. Holder says it all "Starts are everything tonight" Nothing about racing.

Managed to get off okay and no following bikes thank goodness. I presume all 4 back?

Superb picture on the official stream, but no commentary whatsoever. Last one they plugged in the UK commentary, but hey i'll take the picture every time, I know it's a GP but I wish for a false start they brought them straight back round again. This endless faffing around ignores the paying punters. Such is life and it won't change. Bit of a dust storm already, particularly on turns 3 and 4. Hope water is cheap in Finland.

I've got the DVR going for the Cup Final, so don't tell me the result!

Hi all During the rider introductions there look to be a lot of people still to come in, if it is a sell out. Lovely weather.

There, they did it. Thanks for the company folks and over to Sky.

You know by now that I am totally bleeding useless with this stuff. "Where is the "on-off" button on this machine?????" If they hurry up with heat14, we can switch over and only miss "Pearson's Waffle"

Thank you "techies"

Waiting for my son to figure out why. Adjusting the font and size doesn't alter it. Want to fly over and fix it for me?

Well that makes it interesting now.
