Hopefully once the weather is more consistent they can build the dirt up a bit Shame isn’t the right word, a blue groove after 4 heats is an utter disgrace of track prep.

Gavan Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Track was awful tonight Our track has never produced great racing but to prepare it the way the did was appalling … we was covered in dust on bend 2 from about heat 3 and couldn’t see some races properly Great to get the win and to see certain riders go well ….imagine the uproar if King only scored 3 yet Scott gets away with it lol Edwards was on fire and just needed to get Tom going …. PHB had bags of potential Fricke is just a class act and Harris provided entertainment but the reserves as talented as they are will struggle against seasoned campaigners The other gripe was the presentation …. Kevin Long was probably the best presenter in the whole league for a long time so whoever replaced him would have huge shoes to fill …. But the guy on the mic was awful …. bland and monotone … generated zero interaction with the fans …no ‘give us a w’…. mispronouncing riders names…. I know we have lost 2 entertaining riders in Doyle and Emil but this guy on the mic seriously needs to be changed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his fault as that's his voice,,, but it's like you say, monotone,, perfect for sleep stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Long was there last night, working for Rerun Videos - I'm guessing he was doing interviews for the live stream? The "new" presenter is Stephen Foster, who has done it before when Long was unavailable. There was a big collective sigh when he was announced for 2026 - a great bloke, hugely experienced local radio presenter, but most definitely not a sports event announcer. At least Mike Western's fluent Swedish gave us the correct pronunciation of Hellstrom-Bangs - it really is an amazing language 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Despite the slick track I thought the racing was ok, seen far worse than yet over the years. The stream was ok, it’s the first time so you have to allow for nerves as the lad presenting made a lot of mistakes, some down to lack of knowledge as he mentioned about Shane Parker when he was at Lynn but any long time fan knows Shane was first and foremost a Witch, and they did say they know improvements need to be made, they need better mics imo because the trackside ones couldn’t deal with the level of decibels very well.
