Heat 11 from last night

I think overall crowd was similar to last couple of years but there has been a big movement to where people are sitting, the fullest part of stadium now is top tier on 3rd & 4th bendw here the cheapest tickets are. Large portions of middle tier are now empty and looks like they weren't even selling tickets for 6 blocks in upper tier on 1st/2nd bend. Funny enough we bought the cheapest tickets last week in top rows of 3rd/4th bed, when we went to collect tickets we were given free upgrade to sit in middle tier back straight where all the British flags were, ticket sales there were obviously poor and they were desperate to fill the area for TV cameras.

I thought the rule was only used if its an obvious case of a rider falling and staying down on purpose to get a rerun. That wasn't the case with Morris.

Years ago BSI said they always wanted Cardiff towards end of the calendar but could never do it due to rugby fixtures, with the rugby world cup in Japan in September maybe they have taken the chance available to them.

Couple of decent races from Swindon meeting, there were plenty more.

Start delayed to 8.00 and the rain is getting even heavier. Just call it off.

Typical been dry all day and started pouring down at 6.50. Track wet now and looks like rain in for another hour at least. Would rather they called it off then try and start in these conditions.

Most tracks take a few heats to get going, but especially this one first 4 heats or so are always going to be more processional as the grip is round the inside early on, once the dirt starts moving out that’s when the racing lines develop. The 5:00 rain misses too, might be some rain about 7.00 now but that might miss too. Nightmare for the track guys knowing how much to water.

Been no rain at all, might get a bit of rain around 5.00 as we might catch the edge of a band going across but it won’t be much. Fridays Colts meeting started in time despite very heavy rain an hour before start.

Belle Vue ‘Rentruck’ Aces: Craig Cook, Steve Worrall, Dan Bewley, Rohan Tungate, Max Fricke (C), Jye Etheridge, Damian Dróżdż; TM: Mark Lemon Somerset ‘Cases’ Rebels: Jason Doyle (C), Bradley Wilson-Dean, Aaron Summers, Richard Lawson, Jack Holder, Jake Allen, Nico Covatti; TM: Garry May

Will Rosco be slating Morris again like he did last time.

@Phil The Ace put on Facebook : "Getting alot of stick for my behaviour towards starman over on BSF apparently. And rightly so. I apologise to him and anyone else I offended. If anyone's on there fan they please put on my apology. As I have been banned from there"

Yep of course everyone going to stay around for that!

Poor promotion from BSI this year, stadium is only going to be two thirds full and no fan zone outside the stadium this year. Half an hour before gates open and nobody around when in past it’s been buzzing.

Of all the fuss Poole made about not wearing race suits, why has Klindt decided to get himself a new Poole race suit and not wear race jacket lol.

All been done before and didn’t last, there was Team Exide (Hancock & Hamil), Team Nilsen (Nilsen & Crump), Team Rickardsson (Rickardsson & Polish rider), Team Tatum (Nikon’s Klingberg I seem to remember) none lasted long.

When this happens they have normally changed the programme in some way like the title or time so the recording gets cancelled.

BSI really pricing everything too high, also the semi final at Belle Vue was too high, and the Danish GP is ridiculously high and looks like it could only be half full.

Don't know what happened tonight but it seems anyone who set it to record on Sky it didn't record, BT must have changed the programme information at last minute.

Cheapest standing tickets were £44 plus booking fee early bird prices, now they £53! Seats range from £65 to £82! Last year was first time there was empty seats, think there will be lot more this year. Don't know why they don't just use Vojens (yes I know its all political with Olsen)

It was obvious, the only sight question was between Germany and Latvia but as Germany were at home made them the favourites.

Why has the World U21 meeting been moved from Holsted on the Friday?

2 meetings with race offs etc to decide what was always obvious the 7 teams in final was going to be.

Strange format, when you get riders of similar capability you get great racing like the World Cup Final was. A GP here would be amazing

Speedway from the top drawer there
