nw42 2,048 Posted May 12, 2015 Decent night's speedway on Sky, If I lived up that way I would definitely consider going to watch speedway @ Glasgow on a regular basis, I know there wasn't much passing but the riding was spectacular, very reminiscent of visits to the Shay on a good few Saturday nights. Andre Compton the stand out rider for me, always love watching him ride, a real thrills n spills merchant and usually has plenty of speed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cue Ball 416 Posted May 12, 2015 Never been to Ashfield, looks like a nice race track and worth a visit at some point. Thought overall it was a decent meeting and Sheffield could have come away with a point with a bit more luck - Andre arguably dropped a point or 2 by hitting his kill switch. Garrity was in a decent position to score points when Lawson knocked his chain off and Garrity was in the lead when he abandoned ship, considering the loss of Proctor I thought we did alright. Thanks to Josh G - entertaining rider and a cracking race to stalk Sargeant 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salty 2,202 Posted May 12, 2015 Good to see the place smartened up and a very healthy crowd. Racing was entertaining and good to see Compton riding well. Hasn't been a great start to the season on TV with some poor EL stuff, the Warsaw fiasco and the Pairs meetings been hit by the weather so was good to have a meeting that showed the sport in a positive light. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted May 12, 2015 Tonight has proved what some of us have been saying all along. Get a good crowd into the stadium and an average meeting will look that much better. Had tonights meeting been raced in front of a sparse crowd like many TV matches are, it wouldn't be getting the praise it is now. That's not a knock on it, I enjoyed it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tapeworm 169 Posted May 12, 2015 Well done to all at Glasgow speedway for a good showing in front of a great live crowd and TV audience despite very iffy weather for several days and the competing glamorous football match on TV........... and to Josh and Andre for making a fight of it. Highlights for me were:- 3rd - Josh's excellent tactical ride in heat 11 2nd - Dimitri snatching Nick's new track record in heat 5 thanks the close attentions of Josh 1st - Aaron's masterful shepherding of Rafael in heat 12 despite Birks' best efforts Even the Lord Provost seemed very impressed by the Facennas' investment and vision. Onwards and upwards for the Caledonian Tiggs ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lioness 1,453 Posted May 12, 2015 Glad someone else mentioned Aaron in heat 12. I thought he was superb the way he protected his temporary team mate yet the commentators barely mentioned it and worse went on a short while later to bemoan that in their opinion team riding was dead! Err Mr Summers in ht 12 proved otherwise 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eide67 199 Posted May 12, 2015 Very enjoyable viewing tonight, with some pretty good racing considering the weather. The place looked great on TV and it's hard to believe it's the same track I visited at the tail end of last season. The big crowd, great camera work and enthusiastic commentators (much maligned - unfairly in my opinion) made it exciting viewing. Perhaps it's because we don't see them very often, but Premier meetings always seem much better on TV than Elite ones. Anyway congratulations to all at Glasgow Speedway on all the improvements and putting on a great show tonight. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Average meeting but a lot better than what normally gets served up on Sky Josh G pass in heat 11 was differnt class leg back and ride the fence fantastic stuff. Berge was entertaining as always round Ashfield great to watch. Shocker from the ref to exclude bates the pole should of went is it was his fault, Bates was slighty ahead as they went to turn the Pole should of shut off as he was never getting across him into the corner the minute he decided he wasn't going to it was always going to end up in a crash. Nice to see some things don't change though Kozza still out of control, Sarjeant still loves a running start and Bates is still a plonker without a brain. P.S your still the wee team in scotland though Edited May 12, 2015 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a4poster 82 Posted May 12, 2015 Good meeting on Sky tonight and it looked as though it was well promoted. I just hope at the end of the season if the Elite league needs further propping up they will not put pressure on Glasgow stepping up and allow the new promotion to make that decision when they feel it is ready.
