No I'm paying to watch the speedway, which is broadcast by BT. football dictating the cost has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality or otherwise of speedway commentary. Nice try at diversion tactics tho

As I, and many others, pay for the BT service why should we turn off the sound. I accept some like Pearson's efforts, I don't and as a paying consumer consider I have the right to say so.

I expect the commentators to keep me informed. They didn't make clear that Karpov's warning lasted the whole meeting, even after he was excluded. They mucked the scores up and until long after it was mentioned on here didn't allude to the fact that USA could not progress following Manzares injury. Less repetition would be good, tho apparently that is at the producers behest.

Ummm mainly telling us there are race offs and they did tell us US were in a race off but not that it was a pointless exercise

The commentators will catch up with you eventually

I doubt given the quality or lack of it of the racing any non regulars would have turned off ages ago. the result of the drilling as you put it is regular fans are treated as morons.

Sorry but I got the fact that there will be race offs the first time, i really don't need telling after every heat

I realise the racing being far from exciting makes commentating more difficult but the crap coming from their mouths tonight is ridiculous

Ta, can't rely on the commentators to inform us!

Question...now Karpov has been chucked out is his previous warning no longer in force in his next race

wondering who will have the emptiest terraces , Tetrow or Belle Vue

Unless you have an astute team manager, who gives his riders the right instructions.

I'm very doubtful as to whether the world champion riding is an incentive to lapsed fans. They can see him ride on TV every other week. The days of being able to see Mauger or Olsen once a season, therefore being a novelty, have long gone.

Just to muddy the waters a bit more surely any ban is a domestic one and does not affect FIM meetings.

Doesn't Danish priority only apply to Danes? I could be wrong but that's logical........oops sorry this is speedway and logic doesn't apply

If he was banned, Belle Vue would have been granted a facility so no need for a sick note surely

I It has been well publicised on local social media and newspapers that there would be odd days when the roads would be closed following the main closures. You simply have to read those papers or follow The appropriate twitter feeds, Norfolk Highways is quite good It was never publicised in our newspaper, nor social media. Stage that those odd days co-insided with Speedway meetings. Wonderful planning. You obviously do not read the right newspapers as it happens I travel a lot and as a matter of routine check the highways sites before setting off. Maybe I'm just more organised but I believe in being self sufficient, and don't expect venues to tell me of every possible traffic problem. Well of cause you wouldn't, You have plenty of time to waste on those things. When I was employed, I averaged 70K miles a year. If I had to check everytime I made a trip I would never get there. When I was employed part of my job was to ensure the vehicles under my control knew of possible holds up and traffic congestion so I guess it's second nature to me Quoting you re a delayed truck driver I assume was part of the works t was obvious he had no knowledge of any Speedway happening, which highlights the fact there had been no communication between the road work people and that of the Speedway Promotions, and that I find totally inefficient ....... As the works were the primary cause someone in Highways didn't do their job very well if they were unaware of the speedway.....there again it's not exactly a regular weekly occurance any more it is

For once I'm gonna defend the club!!! Those roadworks in one shape of another have been going on for months, most fans have seen them on their way to and from meetings. I would have thought anyone living within 20 miles would routinely check the AA or Council Highways site . Its very simple to do.

Only repeating what was on twitter. In an injury prone sport like speedway seems nonsense to me to have to declare a team that far in advance Not sure how us fans are supposed to know what's going on when the GB team manager doesn't appear to know or know the rules

Apparently the teams had to be declared last week and as such cannot be changed. That's what was put on twitter

Thank the good lord

Question for you Phillip, who gets the profits (or as probably the case now) the loss from the BV round of the comp? Please tell me it's not Belle Vue.

So you would be happy to be sacked by text? Fair enough if they have doubts as to his fitness that's their perogative but FFS do the man the courtesy of actually dialling his number and speaking to him. Remember this is a man who is proud to wear the Union Flag on his chest unconditionally, no ifs, no buts, no only if you do it my way. Cookie is red, white and blue right thro. Makes you wonder what price loyalty.

I don't know Phil, take those three quotes and it's pretty obvious there is a joker and its the new all singing all dancing PROFESSIONAL GB Speedway Team NOT What a disgraceful way to treat any rider
