Definitely, his previous performances at NSS have been very poor but am sure can improve there with some setup help from Fricke & Bjerre etc.

He broke rib at Swindon last week, along with the broken hand he already had.

Belle Vue signed Nikolaj Busk Jacobsen to replace Tero Aarnio

Holder didn't need a visa to ride in SoN as he wasn't being employed in this country.

That was dangerous from Christina Turnbull, waited till the riders crossed the line to put red lights on so she could award it when rider lay in middle of first bend.

You are forgetting about 'young' Andy Meredith at Belle Vue who prepares best track in the country. Obviously learnt it all from his dad Colin.

When I was taken to Peterborough as a kid in the early 90's I seem to remember the grass banking along backstraight was a lot higher and steeper? Is my mind playing tricks on me or was it reduced? I know its been like its current state at least the last 15 years.

Peterborough can’t ride any home meetings in August yet still have 3 home meetings to be arranged with play offs starting mid way through September.

Nicholls moves penalises himself and gets a 2nd chance

Buster going on how good his track is due to track records, grippy inside just makes crap racing and riders lifting slamming into fence!

Yes last Monday, crashed again in the meeting making his broken hand worst.

Ah right, is that about same time as BT Sport deal done?

Go Speed I think run by Terry Russell own all the rights.

Yes they are at weekends, but there are some big distances, some teams in the league from Dundee, Belfast, Cardiff, Guildford etc. When it’s Manchester v Sheffield or Sheffield v Nottingham etc there are lots of travelling fans who would rather be there then watching on a stream and usually sell out.

The idea is to attract away fans and neutrals to watch it who wouldn’t want to travel without stopping locals from attending. Price of around £10 is lot cheaper for an away fan then travelling etc. Ice hockey been doing this for years and have learnt this you don’t want to affect the the home crowd but gain from mainly away fans watching steam who don’t want to travel.

It has been very succesful in ice hockey with 10 out of the 11 teams doing it. Crowds don't seem to have been affected too much as I have been told 90% of the viewers are away fans.

£5 too cheap, what would happen is locals would stop attending, would need to be around £10. Ice Hockey been doing this for several years now.

Fake and any link on there will lead to malware

The Manchester Evening News hasn’t really covered speedway or other minority sport like Ice Hockey etc for years. Occasionally there is a few inches but not often, nothing to do with the current promotion, I would say since Richard Frost retired from MEN.

We had some very heavy thunder storms last night and drizzle this morning so practise was quite wet and grippy. It’s warm and sunny now so tonight I predict track will be lot dryer and slicker (makes for better racing) could play into GB hands a bit regarding setups.

Belle Vue have been heavily advertising it on social media last few days, they have also been advertising it on digital billboards around Manchester. You are right about SpeedwayGB, nothing from them about it all week then this morning several tweets from practise few hours before meeting when its too late for most.

I doubt there will be a stream, can't see a Polish company coming over to stream it.

Will JK be doing an U21 World Cup one?

Not really as usually British Final crowd isn't that big with it being on a Monday and live on TV.
