What is needed is more promotors like Barry Bishop. Maybe not follow exactly his meeting style (he is promoting on an island with lots of holiday makers) but with his creative thinking and application. Speedway has got to get more youngsters involved. It was a family sport when I was took by my parents over 60 years ago, but from what I see now it’s mostly those that were there as kids back then and the youngsters are, in the main, missing. So some creative thinking needed to attract younger ones, to make the sport more cost effective for competitors, and make a profit for promotors to reinvest.

Where is more central? Poole by any chance. Someone has posted there is only 30 miles in it between Poole to Manchester and Glasgow/Edinburgh and Manchester. That seems pretty central. You not going to please every supporter. NSS is a good race track, lots of chances to overtake, and can take more rain then most other tracks.

Actually I think Laguta has come out of his comfort zone. His manager says there has been a difference since Laguta winning Prague. Certainly he is chasing with a view to take on a pass. He went round the outside of Freddie last night…… brave man.

The last half the meeting was good racing, but half a meeting wasted waiting for the track to come to the riders. This is the world championship, the pinnacle. The riders deserve something better, the fans who have paid good money to be there deserve something better, the tv viewers having paid good money to view deserve better, and so do the sponsors of the event and riders alike. Malilla is a better race track then we got last night. I know track staff will have worked very hard to get any racing on, and I appreciate that, but it would take not a lot of effort from a load of juniors doing different racing lines for 10 or more laps just to help the track along.

I think tonight has highlighted the fault in the scoring system like it’s not been highlighted before.

They each won a race, but Thomson had 2 seconds to Tais one, does that do it.

How Does that go? Madsen switched on and he leaves them.

It might annoy “us” if a procedural point is mentioned more then once, but what if someone new was watching (which we all wish). Repetition for emphasis is very useful in such cases.

I hope the track is sorted by heat 12.

Just send out 4 riders at a spacing so they don’t get filled in, rider different lines for 10 laps, job done.

Why don’t they send some riders out and develop the track a bit. Madsen big loser there.

Nice tribute to Phil Rsing from Scott and Charlie in the studio. Prostate cancer I heard, if you over 50 go get checked.

Have the meeting somewhere else and it would be far away for most of the country. Manchester is well placed for the national M-Ways

You can imagine the rush for the second night when the final positions are determined and the rostrum is filled. Could be someone who wants to see both nights is restricted to Friday only. Doing the way they have, a ticket for a double nighter means the true fans get to see both nights.

So to see the worlds best it is very good value. When speedway dies in the uk we have to treasure certain race tracks, NSS is one of them. The Phoenix will rise from the ashes.

So is it £45 total for 2 nights, or £45 for each night

Is the price shown for 2 nights racing, I can’t see options for the Friday or Saturday. If it price for 2 nights it’s a bargain. If it’s price for one night it’s still going to be value for money.

Ove Fundin (no brainier for me), Peter Craven, Igor Plechanov, Peter Collins, Chris Morton. All value for money riders.

I just read on speedwaygp website that after discussions with local authority another 1000 tickets been released for sale, but they don’t think many will be available for entry on the night.

What would the crowd be for a league meeting pre COVID?? For a league meeting during COVID restrictions, have they also restricted fans to only certain parts of the track?? Have restrictions eased in Sweden, or the Manilla area of Sweden, that would open up to more spectators. I just trying to think of reasons why it could be different.

The story goes the Saudi company Aramaco (nothing to do with oil) has just invested £130 million over 5 years which allows Valentino Rossi to put his VR46 team into MotoGP (he already has Mot2 and Moto3 teams). The money out there.

Impressive. Look forward to Friday

Ah, so that’s why Lockatev is first reserve for the series and probably come in this week for Vaculik. Interesting how this Saturdays No 16 goes on, Aspergen. He has a tough act to follow after last Fri/Sat but what an experience it is for these guys. A handful of points would be good.

So right Ian. One qualified as Euro champ, and Lambert is do I very well. 3 qualify from GPChallenge and Thomson not too bad, KK shows signs of a fight but can’t turn into points, and Berntzon is not ready for GPs. I thinks nexts next entrant from Euros, Mikelson will do ok. Just waiting to see the three from the Challenge. Quality riders in the field, will they shine through or fluff it.
