I hope you're holding a sign like those beggars do at football... Dan, please can I have your race jacket Watering the track! Thank goodness!

The health and safety brigade must have been doing their nut!

I saw him filling up with petrol near to the NSS talking to the service station attendant, more likely to see him in the team

You have to question whether they are "fans" then if that is the case... or freebie comps

Speedway not the only sport with attendance issues. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9VTImzsKmy/?igsh=MWQxd3dvYjM1YmZoaQ== At least they'll have paid for a ticket though and the whole event will have been underwritten by TV money and sponsorship.

Banbor went down like Bambi

He was so masterful though

Is Dan injured?

Brave stuff from Henriksson... despite a Telford style start!

... and if you're in the South stand tomorrow night leave about 3 hours to get in through security!!!

Personally, I don't really care because I ain't going... will watch Eurosport meeting instead

If you've got a ticket for the East stand don't forget to bring your Anusol

... with their programmes

But a wet evening between 4 and 9... let's hope it's wrong!

Looks like it's going to be another wet one!

I'm sorry, I don't know if I'm being thick (don't answer that!) but I still don't get it... is it because there were 7 quali spots up from last year but because GB came last they've made it 8? Or were there qualifiers this year and what happens if a nation that aren't currently in it want to be in it, USA for example?

Probably waiting to see if everybody has to be "upgraded" to sit in the middle tier.

But GB are seeded through to the final of SoN1 against 6 other teams qualifying from 2 semis also consisting of 7 teams??

Is there any particular reason why SoN2 has 8 teams competing while SoN has 7?

Something to do with his estranged wife and got the children working for one of the sponsors I think

That's not something common to Speedway, there's only really PL Football that can fill a stadium. We're often told that events are "sold out" only to see many empty seats when it's on TV, F1 being a prime example. We were told by the commentators that the Snooker World Champs was sold out, again many empty seats, even for the final! Look at Wimbledon this year, many empty seats. Maybe Speedway could do with a "Royal Box" as for some reason the organisers of these events seem to think that there's a benefit to having a load of free-loading celebs in attendance or perhaps just lower the ticket prices. My 4 day ticket works out at £30.75 per meeting, which I'm happy to pay but it's not family friendly... for a "family" sport.

And this is the post you decide to comment on

I think this rain may just finish the track off for tonight

You've had one too many

Somebody should sign that Milik up
