We welcome the Cheetahs this Friday and the two best riders in the league, allegedly. Discuss! We are still lacking in meetings at the reshaped Ashfield and we, the fans, still don't know when the SCB plan to meet to discuss Lee's situation. In the meantime with a 30 day ban we need to look for a guest. We knocked them out of the play-offs last year, can we do the same in the Cup?

Lots of ifs and but's, yet no ones mentioned the change to the bandits normal lineup made by their team manager. If it had worked he would have been hailed as a genius, it didn't and he isn't. The bottom line is Glasgow won and got the bonus point.

Seen the photos Ace showed total commitment, did nothing wrong. Also impressed by him in the re-run when on exiting the 4th bend on the last lap he looked over his shoulder saw Sam Hagon and inexplicably slowed down and finished second. Richard Lawson (just for you Lisa) would have been proud of him. Just a pity the meeting doesn't count!

The season has hardly started, yet you're claiming to be skint already.

Good point. The number of times I've heard riders say after a crash 'I'll take a few pain killers and hopefully I'll be alright to ride tomorrow or later this week'. will this result in opposition team managers reporting these riders to the referee and demanding that they be tested and/or excluded from a meeting?

Think you're being a bit harsh why would Edinburgh sack anyone if they lose by six?

Really, just to be clear, I wasn't joking.

Spot on Lioness. There have been lots of opinions posted regarding last night's meeting at Berwick, some I agree with some I don't but that's my opinion. There is however a big difference between offering an opinion and making statements which they claim to be a 'FACT', which one poster has done. You clearly know more about medication and testing, but I would add that I'm aware of a number of work colleagues being advised after a basic works medical to see their doctor as a urine test had indicated they could be diabetic. A blood test at their doctor's showed they weren't diabetic. I think that is another reason for the wording used by the Speedway authorities as testing at the lab can identify more clearly was has or hasn't been taken.

What a nasty hateful thing to say but then again no surprise when you see who's saying it.

it seems in modern day speedway 'fans' sit behind a computer and moan, moan and moan - now that is comical to read.

Perhaps other teams pay more than Glasgow.

Glasgow didn't let Bewley go. He was a Belle Vue rider and decided to leave Glasgow. Connor is still a Glasgow 'asset' and is progressing nicely. Last year we chose not to use him and we won the Championship. Last year Tom was getting stick from some fans overhis home form, wrongly in my opinion, and rumour suggests he didn't really want to come back. When clubs are limited by a points limit every year, there will always be difficult decisions to make when building a team and hard decisions will have to be made.

I don't understand why clubs don't employ people to go around to all fans houses to knock on their door and keep them up-to-date with everything speedway related. It's maybe not as efficient as suggesting fans use the new fangled Internet but it would keep everyone happy unless they were down the shops and missed the visit.

For team building the limit is 38 not 40.

Well done to the Birmingham riders last night.
