Will the FIM announce is exactly 6 days before? Or will they announce it as soon as they sign off the squad? 1 minute ago, cinderfella said: He's meant to be pretty good at moto-x too so I'm sure he'd handle bRough Park fine Hey if a test match there ensured your continuation I'd be down in a flash. It's the shape more than anything I can see him trying one of his dive bomb manoeuvres down the back straight and ending up in the overflow car park I don't think there'll be any racing at Brough this year anymore, after all the shale people took on the track walk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Tigers' fans would rather see their team especially when things could get expensive? It's simple, we'll all save money by not coming through to Edinburgh for the KO cup (when's the date?) - sorted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cup delay is no fault of Monarchs. Birmingham to thank for that one. Feather in the cap for Glasgow getting this test match. Just a shame in October. Could be a hiding for Team GB if Poles send their top 6 riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,856 Posted October 4, 2021 Even Bartosz , muesli and Kubera would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,905 Posted October 4, 2021 As was proven by the huge crowd at the GB/Australia Test, people will turn out in their droves to see top names they cannot expect to watch in regular action. The names of Tai and Bartoz (five World titles!) alone will pull them in, and having the rest of their nations' SON squads on parade as well is just icing on the cake. Full marks to Allied, and to Team GB for honouring their sponsorship. Can't wait! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted October 4, 2021 So assuming it's six man teams, what would GB's strongest side be? Woffinden Lambert Bewley Ellis Cook King 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the track is prepared and raceable, I don’t really care if I watch the Tigers or anyone else round Ashfield. I’ll gladly pay my money and watch, because it’s always an entertaining track. Though it would be nice to see four more home matches for the Tigers… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted October 4, 2021 Don’t bemoan an attractive meeting - live speedway at your track. On behalf of speedway fans from Coventry, Eastbourne, Birmingham, Newcastle, Arena Essex, etc etc 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted October 4, 2021 This is the kind of meeting, British Speedway needs at this moment in time. Congrats to Glasgow for pulling it off. Up Team Gb! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,274 Posted October 4, 2021 Too far to go, but would definitely pay for a stream if no TV coverage.. Well done Glasgow... Let's hope for no 'cry offs' and the best half dozen from both nations attend... Could be a cracking night.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 4, 2021 Think our promotion to be applauded for this. Only time out with SON going to see potentially woffy, Lambert, bartosz, magic, dudek. Honestly rather go to this than play offs, can't wait to see teams 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
