Is that you Matt?

You have to feel for poor old Louis Bleriot behind the start gate there, he's been trying all night but he just hasn't been able to get off the ground, needs to redesign those wings..

Can't remember seeing a finer heat1 than that, here's hoping it's a sign of things to come this evening, well done Holder.

Thanks but I can't get this to fit on one page, the bottom row is on page 2, done the shrink to fit etc but no joy. Never had a problem with your cards before, any advice please..

Yep, you brought 2 according to your buddy.

Not sure I want to see that one again, good luck Magic.

Thanks for that, I was convinced I'd seen a classic from this track but couldn't recall which one, here's hoping the track will be prepared in a similar fashion. Here's the meeting for anyone who fancies a taster this afternoon, I just skimmed through and picked 3 random heats, all had plenty of action but if you jump to 1hr 44mins & 35 seconds (sorry I don't know how to link it) you'll see a Pedersen special on Peter Ljung, I'll miss him when he's gone from the sport, even though I've given him plenty of stick over the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9_txq-iz0k Dirty bugger!!! Edit, thanks was to Keepturningleft, cheers.

Is that you Soldier Boy?

It says everything mate but it's not going to change anytime soon, at least we are able to watch these riders on tv thanks to all concerned.

Great ride from Lindgren to win it, over 30 points already, I'm sure we've seen him on less than 30 after half a dozen GP's in the past, looks leaner than previous seasons too, no reason why he can't feature in the top 4 or 5 for the whole season if he stays healthy. Congratulations to the track people too, brilliant meeting.

Heat 12 was a classic duel, best race I've seen for a while, brilliant!!

Hancock, played for and not got.

I'm concurring with Scott Nicholls, had a bit of e/w on Zagar @ 20/1.

Out of interest, well done on getting them to stick it on for you, how many in the pub will be likely to take an interest in the meeting? Will you be subjected to the usual anorak sport jibes etc. Will you take a printed racecard to fill in and, most importantly do they allow airhorns?

Are you referring to the Premier Sports coverage on now? If so I think your speakers may need adjusting, the sound from the track is audible, bikes, crowd, stadium announcer etc..

Well we have to be grateful for the crumbs from the table really, better than no speedway at all.

Well his quote does say 'asked to ride' but I imagine it likely to have been to ask if available if selected. Either way it seems he's pretty much finished on the GB front for the time being, such a shame wherever the blame lies.

Thanks for the commentary and the interaction Dave, not the greatest of meetings but enough of a taster to leave me looking forward to the rest of the season.

This is brilliant, answers to queries given out on live tv, can't fault you Dave, keep up the good work mate.

Off topic but just watching the stock cars during the breaks and the name Stuart Smith comes up, I'm sure I can remember seeing a driver called Stu Smith become World Champion back in the 70's, any relation?

Cheers for prompt reply Dave, looks like I'll be sticking around a while.

Anyone know if there will be English commentary of the Polish recordings? Not on twitter so can't ask Dave directly.

Cheers, working fine on Chrome here.

Just came across this link for todays meeting while I was looking for the line ups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGRmbpgO9CM seems genuine enough.

A lot of that was to do with the actual room they had to work with, hence the building behind bend 2 being so close, not ideal but there is scope to enhance it in future years.
