It’s like planning it for Scunthorpe and then moving it to Belle Vue.

They did only score 3 less then Sheffield last week.

So unlucky for Tom Brennan to get a puncture on last lap of heat 15.

So drawn out tonight, last week finished for 9.15pm Going to be nearer 10pm tonight. Problem with newcomers coming to TV meeting, great racing yes but they won’t be impressed by huge delays inbetween.

Think the only heat without a pass been heat 1.

Good to see Charles Wright, thought he’d broken his arm the way he was holding it. Kurtz not made a single gate all night.

Not surprised, Esbjerg was always strange choice for world event.

Always thought Esbjerg was a strange choice, Vojens the obvious choice for Denmark for a world event.

But ok for Lawson to do it at Poole.

Yep what an idiot, had it over the tapes!

Wright third to first, should be happy Belle Vue not gating

You’d rather close score and all from the gate then? Heat 2 gone from 3-3 to 5-1 on last lap. Heat 4 gone from 3-3 to 5-1 on last lap.

But what he did to Palm Toft was ok you said, can give it out but can’t take it

Lawson throwing his dummy out like Holder last week giving fans the finger. Not shown on TV.

Got a cold cider in my hand

Let’s address the usual moans first The crowd, will probably be low as usual for TV meetings. Pre-sale seats are down around 30% on last week, but Belle Vue have offered 300 free tickets to local community groups but unknown what the uptake will be. The track, it’s been 29 degrees today, they have been soaking the track, pictures I’ve seen shown it flooded. Will still be warm evening so track bound to be wet still to start with to avoid dust but give it 4-5 heats for a dirt line to materialise.

Riders complimenting track that you can't pass on till heat 12.

When Sheffield going to bring Stefan Nielsen back?

It did at Old Trafford last season for Manchester United match, couldn’t sell at food or drink in whole stadium as card system was down. Also Wolves v Belle Vue couple of weeks ago, Wolverhampton were not selling any food or drink before the meeting as all their tills had problem, we didn’t come on here slating Wolves.

A third party cockup you mean, nothing to do with Belle Vue. Their card machine wasn’t working, don’t know why they couldn’t take cash instead but they decided not to serve instead, big loss of income for their company.

Newcastle were getting 250, that’s shocking.

And next week will be on Eurosport and will be dragged out 30 minutes more.

Needs to concentrate on racing rather then keep giving the fans the finger.

Mr predictor completely wrong again.

Belle Vue 22 Sheffield 8 after heat 5. Aces walking it at the moment
