This was in the Speedway Star before Cardiff in interview with Paul Bellamy

Doesn't matter about it being held at Kings Lynn but question is, have Team GB been renting out Kings Lynn this past week practising there?

LOL Kennett!! Who has been terrible this year. That is the team I would have pick too, if anyone might have come in for Stead it should be Daniel King.

We were on third bend top tier and couldn't understand a word being said, PA was terrible. To me it seemed like the speakers on the ceiling were not working, all the sound was coming from the speakers on the floor. As others have said very poor entertainment beforehand but the racing was superb and that's when we go for really.

You couldn't see the top tier on home straight though that was empty, watch it on sky, also at the start of the heats when the lineup comes up look at all the empty blocks. I don't think it was 10,000 down, I'd say about 38000-40,000.

Crowd was down on other years no way a record, if you looked carefully, they were lots of blocks in the bottom tier on the bends that were completely empty which had not been sold, also top tier on home straight was empty. We were on top tier on third bend row 16 and the first 14 rows in front of us were completely empty like the tickets had been reserved till some people realised and moved into them at the start. On sky they just focus on middle tier on back straight where they give the free flags out which is full.

Not the best racing of the season but very entertaining GP. Holder & Pedersen spat their dummies out lol

Nicki was correct, he beat Hancock & Bjerre.

The Australia squad will be interesting

Titan the robot going straight from Big Brother house then

That will be for football and rugby though, not speedway.

Correct and you will find the ones sold by most tracks are flammable.

I'm guessing its that area outside near the pits where they do the autographs etc.

Yes I noticed that, they showed it few times, was hoping referee wasn't using that to make his decision!

Has anyone bought tickets on the lower tier on the bends? Doesn't seem to be any available on seetickets, would expect them to be in the £40 category, spoke to someone at seetickets and they said tickets have not been released by the promotor for those sections, does that mean lower tier bends will be empty?

Apologies if there is a topic somewhere, had a quick look round and couldn't see one. Does anyone have the lineups and venues for the GP qualifiers this weekend?

And the first GP too, the spoiler rule is only over here, would have expected Pearson & Louis to know that. No idea why he doesn't want to use one though!

Didn't they basically do this 2 years ago, freestyle motoX jumps.

The app has been updated today, the points above I made have been done, it now uses the countback rules if riders tied on points, also automatically selects the correct riders for the semis, just have to select the helmet colour for each now.

yep and that's why there isn't many people there.

What a load of rubbish, borefest tonight

Problem is it is a temporary track which doesn't have proper drainage so won't be able to cope with the rain as well as permanent tracks. I know what it is like, I was at Gothenburg in 2004? when it rained a lot during the day started the GP and was called off after 4 heats as the track was spongy.

Raining there at the moment, looks like it will be wet one in Gothenburg again! http://www.smhi.se/en/Weather/2.732/Radar-...ghtning-strikes

It should be finished by 8pm unless it overuns, but the organisers try to make sure that doesn't happen to tv compnaies etc.
