  1. Farcical that USA make the race off and Denmark don't. Need some proper seeded draw for each event rather then the fix they keep doing now every year.
  2. First rain off of the year at Belle Vue. Don't know if this accurate but someone told me it was the only track left not to have a rain off.
  3. Opposite to that, last GP at Copenhagen in 2014 had reported attendance of around 13,000, the same year there was also a GP at Vojens which attendance was nearer 20,000. Danish speedway fans didn't like travelling to Copenhagen, the return bridge toll is expensive and hotels are very expensive, I think the corporate percentage there was a lot higher. They seem to prefer the cheaper standing prices at Vojens. In regards standing at Horsens the 2 remaining standing areas were full, in previous years there has also been standing on back straight 2nd bend end but this year that been replaced by seats and most of them seats were empty!
  4. Copenhagen is too far out of the way with most speedway clubs on the mainland. The venue and location isn't the problem and the racing has been excellent but they did get bigger attendances at Vojens but I think reason it was moved was the corporate hospitality available. I think the reason for empty seats this year is the downward spiral of Nicki Pedersen and Iversen etc.
  5. If this goes ahead (could be the first rainoff at Belle Vue of the season) can see it being very tight match. Kings Lynn have several riders who ride the track very well.
  6. Steve Worrall has scored 10+1 (4) and 8+1 (4) at Kings Lynn this year, does well there.
  7. How did the £10 admission go? Don't know what crowds been like this season at Poole but on TV crowd didn't look much bigger then when i been in past.
  8. Good introductions on BT Sport but then let down by that terrible camera angle at rear of grandstand behind the pillar! Track as bumpy as usual.
  9. Any news on next year's Danish GP, am I right that was the 3rd year of 3 year contract at Horsens?
  10. I was surprised by empty seats too, always been full in past, I can only presumeNicki Pedersen injury affected attendance. Regards Jason Doyle, we bumped into him (not literally) in motorway services on Friday morning, his foot was all bandaged up with no shoe on and couldn't put any weight on it he said he would be fine but at that point I thought even if does ride he will struggle, what a performance.
  11. Is anyone going to Poole tonight able to get us some programmes and post them up for us please. Will of course pay for postage etc, send me a PM if possible.
  12. Same here, originally it was scheduled for 2 hours 30 mins but my sky box recorded for 3 hours so recorded everything.
  13. With Kenneth Bjerre missing another Home meeting this Friday it's going to be middle of July before he will have done 4 home.
  14. If that was good racing I dread to think what its usually like, the changes seem to have made little difference. Last night track was very patchy to start with which led to some passing at the start mainly due to rider mistakes locking up, there was one excellent move from Grajczonek to go from 3rd to 1st in 1 go in heat 3. After the sun delay the racing was terrible, all from the gate with except of heat 9 I think when Bewley passed Bjerre end of the first lap.
  15. Not exactly last minute, been known for over a week they guesting for BV tonight.
  16. Cook did exactly that in heat 15 and Tungate went round outside of him.
  17. If I was a Somerset fan I'd love this start time! As a BV fan that goes to most away meetings, I'd love to set off early on a Bank Holiday and be home for about 6pm rather then 2am with work the next day! Reason for the early start time is it is stock cars next door starting at 3.30, council won't allow both to run at same time, would be chaos parking etc.
  18. Reason for early start is stock cars start at 4.00 next door. As for Somerset fans, yes it's an early start but they get home nice and early with work the next day. Yes you can pay cash on the day, from either south stand ticket booth (cash only) or grandstand ticket office (cash & cards)
