About 6 riders announced earlier on in this thread, but still about 10 short, may find out if/when I arrive at Glasgow in less than 2 days time, beginning to wonder if Mr cook wants a crowd to turn up 2nd guessing who is gonna ride !!

Yes can't but wonder why the publicity is so lacking? Are fans, if they turn up, going to be surprised or left disappointed by the line up. I know of quite a few folk who were going to travel but have made other arrangements due to lack of info on participating riders.

It’s not but on the other hand we are in the Year 2019 and chip & pin / contactless is and should be available everywhere. Typical of speedway in general to be way behind the times. 

Attending speedway should be as straightforward and hassle free as possible. 

Cash is king

Why not book tickets online if not wanting to use cash.

That's not the point.  People are going to turn up at the gate not knowing that they can't pay by card. 

And all very we'll there being an ATM across the road......still a bloody nuisance. Should all have been made much clearer to fans.

Looked through this thread and other sites and can’t see who’s all riding in this meeting,  does anyone know or is Cookie having problems finding ‘mates’ to ride ?

What's going on with riders for this meeting ?

Never known no one not advertise who is riding in there meeting. Craig is tweeting about everything to do with his meeting bar riders unless it's down to a pairs meeting now !!!!

We were going with a full mini bus that turned into a full car but now we looking like we not going to bother at all.

[cinderfella 865]

I've posted on the various Glasgow social media pages asking and apart from the 6 riders already mentioned nobody either knows or is willing to divulge who the other 9 riders are likely to be. What had the potential to be a great meeting with a big crowd could turn into a farce unfortunately for Cookie due to poor advertising etc. The only thing that has any decent exposure is the fact that there will be the 4 mascots from the teams participating.

Very poor from Craig who is normally bang on with his social media. Not advertising what his meeting actually is and who's riding in it is a huge mistake and one which will make fans not bother. He appealed to Edinburgh fans to attend but they don't know there team.

[cinderfella 865]

Just had a thought - is Cookie not really publicising his meeting because he wants folk to turn up who genuinely support and appreciate him no matter the standard of the meeting rather than fans who only go along to see big pull riders?

You have to sell your meeting. I've seen a few comments not happy he charging more to attend his testimonial than Glasgow charge to attend there meetings.

Not so much of a fans favourite decision that one.

heard Greg Hancock wants to ride for Glasgow . there , that should put a few on the gate .

lets just hope the A.T.M. at the fuel station does not run out of cash .. that could be a bit of a dummer .

Does entry cost not include the meeting programme and an Easter Egg?

 

[H20 48]

Yeah if you pre ordered a ticket. Its £20 on the door !!!!

Which of the four teams racing has MPT rode for then ?

Looks like he been struggling to get riders to me. That's why he not announced any before now.
