I presume Bewley will move up, Kemp will be the U21 reserve and Palin would be on standby to ride in day 2 if there was an injury.

in 2019 NL Palin averaged 8.82, Rowe averaged 8.37.

I'm not sure where you have got that about initial costs, Belle Vue were using an external company who are being paid. I didn't see the Edinburgh and Plymouth streams but I would guess they didn't have a setup like this with multiple people working those computers, plus at least 5 cameras with 4 camera operators etc, not cheap.

Why is all the discussion about tv deals. From what I understand this announcement was that Eurosport EVENTS have taking over the running and promoting of SGP/SoN etc from BSI in 2022. I presume Eurosport will take over the tv deal aswell eventually but that is secondary and the big debate should be how Eurosport Events will promote these series in future.

On a slightly different note, I was surprised Freddie performed so well at weekend knowing his wife had gone into labour on Friday in a foreign country on her own.

I don’t understand all these calls for more younger new faces. The GP series is suppose to be the best 15 riders in the world, some of these older riders are still up there. In reality it’s the top 10 who retain their place each year and if a rider finishes in top 10 they deserve it IMO. The only reason they have the number lower is to create some drama. Liking the look of next years series, the only disappointment is Kasprzak but he qualified in dodgy circumstances. I’d personally prefer it if only 2 qualified from GP challenge (not that it would have helped this year).

I think the indoor tracks have got a lot better in recent years. I read somewhere in past, think it was Ole Olsen saying that the old practise sessions they did on the Friday involved more wear on the track then a GP.

Jaimon is 21 too.

Thomsen wins, Klindt 2nd, Birkemose 3rd.

What if a 12 wins and 13 comes 2nd? a run off?

Obviously these 2 events are different as no fans are allowed in, but in the future if streaming is continued when fans are present the price can't be set too low as this will then effect the attendance, home fans would stay at home if the stream is cheap. It needs to be targeted at away fans and neutrals who don't want to take time off work and drive a long distance with additional expenses to watch. So for example £12 would be lot cheaper and convenient for them but £12 would hopefully mean most home fans would actually go and pay the £18 to watch it live.

Link for programme now been emailed.

BV saying will be sent out nearer the time.

Exactly, like I said 90% of all tickets have been sold, seating and standing. Like Fromafar said only solution would be to refund them all and put limited amount back on sale again. For the Youth meeting on 10 October it is being limited to 20% of capacity. I'm pretty sure wouldn't be allowed any more then 33% of capacity for SoN.

To have a crowd, if allowed, it would be limited to around 33% of capacity, but over 90% of tickets have been sold so not sure how they would do that.

When Belle Vue greyhound stadium closed giving a final reason of financial problems due to no public being allowed, I feared how many others could follow.

NDL been cancelled now

Few differences with the older riders and those from last couple of decades. Bonus points were included then and now not been for quite a few years, what year did that change? With the older 13 heat format the top riders didn't face each other that often, seem to remember the number 1's only raced each other once in heat 1? Where as with the 15 heat format they face each other more often usually 3 times each meeting. Gate positions, team mates could choose gate position each heat, what year did that change?

And remove Fricke.

No they haven't agreed to not riding in other leagues, they have agreed to stay in Poland and can't leave at moment else will have to go through another 2 weeks quarantine.

Yes they will as soon as travel/quarantine restrictions have been lifted and that will be well before British Speedway can start.

I'd guess they will seed riders into Challenge and probably have it in October like it use to be.

As the grandstand has sold out I think you stand a very good chance of someone buying them from you.

They are in the afternoon.
