Well done Jason Edwards great ride - I am just trying to enjoy this - what we need is some frantic racing in the later Heats just like the old British finals had! 
 

it’s actually nice to be watching speedway on a Saturday night on mainstream UK tv! 

Agreed, I’m enjoying it too. Albeit the beer probably helps. The track looks promising now too, think we’ll see some great racing later hopefully.

Totally agree, great to have racing live on a Saturday night. When did that last happen. Thanks ITV 4 and hopefully that can see the potential and perhaps look at the wider European scene.

Thanks to ITV4 for putting the speedway on, racing seems to be getting better and closer, wish I could say the commentators are getting better. The crowd looks better than I was expecting, but even with a full house the camera angles won't show much of the crowd as no one is allowed on either bends

Is there a reason for that?

There are no stands....

And to put them there costs effing shed loads...

And won't get filled anyway.  

Basically, no need for them...

At the NSS, standing just before bend 3 is the spot...

Amazing speed, amazing cutting across each other at those amazing speeds...

Elf and safety very few if any flying stones on the straights, Theirs no access to bends 1+2 bends 3+4 is a car park, and can't see the track very well, if you were allowed to stand

Considering the line up i was Hoping Tom Brennan would have a good meeting and bang in some good points to regain some confidence having been forced to ride at No1 for so long, so far not going well which i must say has surprised me. Hopefully he can come to the party in the later heats.

Felt so bad for Rory and Emma during that transition - you could tell they were both being screamed at in their ear pieces. Excruciating to watch!

Emma is a massive asset to UK Speedway...

Ultra professional and unfazed by having to react quickly...

Yes, not quite sure who's running the show but it's not the first sudden duff with cutting away too soon or lingering too long.

Kemp and Rowe have both flattered to deceive in their careers haven't they?...

 

Yes. Kemp is such a frustrating rider. He's been a match winner for Leicester a few times and made some great passes, but if it doesn't go well he suddenly looks like a novice.

Cooper Rushen comes across as a great competitor and good luck to the lad. We need more like him and if the UK can generate this sort of rider, the future does look bright. Great to see lads like this having the confidence to mix it with some of the best in KK speedway.
