racers and royals 8,712 Posted July 24, 2018 Would be really good if you could add Glasgow Saturday 4th August to the title. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,658 Posted July 24, 2018 Hope Doyle is fit and both Australia and GB put out their strongest sides possible. Hope it's a great success for Glasgow and speedway in the UK in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFTGNigel 18 Posted July 24, 2018 I was up in Glasgow anyway to see the (now postponed) Glasgow v Newcastle meeting on Friday night along with some Track Cycling and Football. Very excited about this and already bought my ticket. Was just thinking at the GP on Saturday that a proper Test Match was long overdue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted July 24, 2018 Hopefully next year there will be a few more up and down the country. Can't make this one but it's certainly a step in the right direction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike.Butler 601 Posted July 24, 2018 Full international at a tier 2 track...when did that last happen? Glasgow deserve it...wish we had similarly excellent promoters and track down south.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Welwyn 62 Posted July 24, 2018 Wonder what everyone would consider the best GB & Aus 1-7's actually are right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCookie 753 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Woffinden, Lambert, Cook, Bewley, Worrall (S), Ellis got to be nailed on - maybe the likes of Garrity/Howarth be thereabouts? vs Holder (J) and (C?), Batchelor, Morris, Masters, Kurtz, Doyle Edited July 24, 2018 by JCookie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icicle 896 Posted July 24, 2018 Note from info on this that the stadium has only a capacity of 2,500 only! Thought it was larger than that? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noodles 1,337 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I'm sure I read somewhere they would be 6 man teams? Which side is Schlein going to ride for? Edited July 24, 2018 by Noodles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw Glasgow tweeted that after I had posted potential teams. That would marry up with my thought that this is a joint venture between the new 'Team GB' ownership & Glasgow as an experiment for future Tests. Denmark use 6-rider teams and might be easier for the likes of Sweden to come over with 6-man rather than 7-man teams. As for Schlein, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
