One thing we can agree on is that it looked terrible and hope it never happens again. Hope it's a lesson that the sport learns from.

I work in a Head Office in retail and I can change prices up or down, when I choose, but it is totally different to advertised prices for seats at a sporting event. Many of these events sell out quickly, it's about knowing your market and Belle Vue sadly over estimated what they had. Start moving prices for these events and you're opening a can of worms IMO.

Rubbish and airlines are not advertised sporting events. If they did that, then they'd never get early sales as folk would wait for the reductions.

Great ride Leon Madsen. Passing Zmarzlik on his own track is very notable. Nasty crash that for the Kupiec.

Don't bite

How could they do something about it? They couldn't offer cheap tickets without refunding the ones already sold. IMO it was too expensive, but you can't just cut prices???

Yep for got that, but as you say he didn't need to chase.

Well done GB. Rob unbeaten all night and Bewley came very good.

Got a bit of 15/8 for half my original stake. Bloody commentators.

Good result for GB, but the track must be iffy if Zmarzlik can't make an impression. Real shame as this track is great week in week out.

Does the track seem as good as it normally is. Tense meeting but not much passing.

Fkin hell. Well ridden Thorsell.

Good race. Lebedev can take points off of any team.

You're maybe right, but I'm leaving it. Done OK on the first 4 heats so I'm covered. Apart from Poland the Odds against Teams have won.

You're joking?

I cashed out also

Fricke out. They said they don't know the reason???? Poland backed 7/2 with that news.

Maybe next year there should be a Rest Of The World team for the World Cup. Laguta, Sayfutdinov, Vaculik etc. Gets around the Russian problem that other sports ignore.

Last heat decider tomorrow.

Daniil Medvedev has played and won at Wimbledon today. What's the difference with Sayfutdinov & Laguta etc. Tarasenko and Emil ride over here. Seems ok to ride in league matches but not international. A bit hypocritical if I'm honest. They don't stop being Russian in the league. Appreciate they'd have to ride under a blank flag with no anthems etc.

Unless something goes wildly wrong, I suspect Zmarzlik & Kubera will take all the rides. Agree Magic doesn't look at ease with the track.

Finns are entertaining. You shouldn't be allowed to change countries once you've ridden for your National side. Stupid.

Thorsell too. Pointless warnings as you say

Thorsell Moved should have been excluded. Good race though.

Normal prices until Final.
