Yet better racing in last 2 heats than there was in 15 heats at Leicester last week.

8 years and we have the best track guy in the country, you can’t stop the rain! You can add water but you can’t take it off!!!

Another damp very grippy track leading to fast times but poor racing. We not had a dry meeting yet .

Like old days tonight, 4 Ipswich riders wearing race jackets. The guests are understandable but why Sayfutdinov and Jenkins not got Ipswich race suits?

Lidsey was at airport at 5am getting flight, if it had been delayed/cancelled he had time to make other flights.

None of the other riders have been delayed as none that stupid to fly in to Stansted at 1pm. There is an airport in Manchester you know.

Would never fly in to Stansted at that time to get to Manchester, that was to go home. Oxford did get the 75% last week but clouting was only one available at short notice.

Ryan Douglas guests for Ipswich, lot better round NSS then King.

Ipswich could get stronger using for example Douglas, Masters etc.

In Manchester we suppose to be in the middle of the band of rain moving south and we barely had any rain at all, it’s very windy. Made decision to set off about 4.30, hope we don’t have a wasted trip.

Looking at several forecasts all show rain from around 5pm to 9pm, not small bit of rain either, big band moving south down country. Can’t see how it can be on although frustrating with a dry day.

Adult tickets bit more then I expected but it’s the kids tickets which are ridiculous barely any cheaper then adults if at all.

Just after I posted on that they have put lineups on social media now https://x.com/speedwaylions/status/1767491610697187740?s=46&t=dIBO1b0Z20UuRPqs9f-4pg

Am hearing this unlikely to go ahead as track is a mess still. Notice nothing about this meeting in Leicester social media.

Workington didn't have to get new land, that track had been there for 20+ years as a training track.

SoN2 been expanded to 8 teams and 28 heats to fit Great Britain in as hosts.

It was, you asked that question Saturday morning, the full team was announced Friday evening.

Because Ipswich finished on 39.16 so they could get stronger!!!!!!

Of course, had to go from 42.74 to below 40, not going to get stronger! Key is improvement over the season though.

Belle Vue included KOC in Season Ticket

No I’ve seen it plenty of times when 2 minutes has gone on literally when they have crossed the line.

Leicester had a blank canvas and look at what they did.

At least they did it on the track with a cracking race and wasn’t decided by Lidsey engine failure.

Kurtz and Lidsey for me.

Whatever the result the racing been night and day compared to Thursday. People go on about throttle jockeys, give me throttle jockey racing any day compared to that crap from Ipswich.
