Anyone seen the TNT Sports social media posts. Heat 1 they say Fricke beat Kurtz (he didn’t) They put video of good heat 9 with title of Kirke and Lindsey (Cook & Lidsey)

Great heat 13

Yep left Manchester it was warm and sunny, get to Oxford it’s cold and overcast.

Quite straightforward, bit slow around Wolverhampton as usual but I never use M42, M5 and M40 was fine.

I've seen Redcar fans trying to get Saturday tickets but they been sold out a while.

Wow wow wow wow

.

Show me better racing anywhere else. Harris and king in last one, lambert, wright Thompson in that one!

It’s definitely slicker and dryer tonight, produces better racing. only putting sprinkling of water down every 4 heats, hopefully same for GP.

Those obsessing about crowd, would you rather watch crap racing elsewhere or racing like this .

Ipswich fans don’t even turn up to Ipswich meetings when it’s on tv!

That’s if they were actual sold, some maybe just reserved for BSPL.

It is, final pre sale grandstand tickets were about 300 lower than average league meeting.

Very warm and sunny

Anyone got a printable race card?

Its only a good view if you are stood at the fence (which you would have been today) as soon as there is semi decent crowd and layer of people around the fence, anyone behind struggles to see.

You can always judge what size a crowd will be roughly at Belle Vue by the pre sales seats for grandstand. Tomorrow the pre-sales are terrible, lot worst then an average Belle Vue league meeting. Probably due to the poor lineup and mainly as people aren't going to travel on a Monday when they likely to be coming for the GP's in 4 weeks time. I live 5 minutes away and even questioning if I can be bothered.

It was 40.75 with Zischke on 4.57. Take 1.57 off means 39.18

I agree Zischke isn’t going to get replaced now on that average (unless the went for Gusts in future) but I think he is going to improve. Nos he getting regular meetings for Workington and riding in Poland each Tuesday. I do think he equipment is bit slow round NSS which is shown as gating his poor. Regarding Cairns, if that happens, yes he won’t have much experience but at Sheffield on Thursday his time winning heat 1 in the NL meeting was half a second faster then the winning time for heat 2 in Premiership meeting

Actually incorrect, team total is now 39.18 so 0.82 under the limit.

Doesn’t seem to be as Gusts is 3.00 also.

Tate Zischke average dropped from 4.57 to 3.00 from Monday.

I’d say the 201/203 bus from Hyde Road to Piccadilly, then Metrolink tram to Salford Quays. Or an Uber taxi.

Wasn’t that quick, 29 June Mountain was replaced last year

Meant to post earlier but you can watch the pre show for free on YouTube before purchasing
