Let's hope for no 'cry offs' and the best half dozen from both nations attend... Could be a cracking night.. Too far? It's not too far for Scot's to travel to Manchester for big meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read the original link it is 6 man teams featuring the GB and Polish SoN squads. So as others have posted The GB squad is likely to be Woffinden, Lambert, Bewley ( 2 of whom will be used in the Belle Vue meetings) and two U21's , one of whom will make the team at Belle Vue, probably Tom Brennan. The 6th rider will presumably be someone like Adam Ellis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are the chances that it'll be Glasgow riders added? Cook for GB and Nowak for Poland? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,962 Posted October 5, 2021 Is there an "official" Test Match race format? Back in the day when they were regular fixtures on the calendar they always used to be 8 man teams riding over 18 heats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edmon 166 Posted October 5, 2021 What is the crowd limit for Ashfield? Will proof of double vaccine be required, as required by Scottish Government? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 917 Posted October 5, 2021 Just got my ticket. Should be great - the GB vs Australia Test a couple of years ago was certainly worth it. I only hope the weather is better - the last Test match was a June meeting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With only a 50/50 chance of meetings taking place this month I would say if the past couple if weeks are anything to go by.. Going to the SON both days and that is a ten mile round trip. And that gives me doubts... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topaz325 1,853 Posted October 6, 2021 I would have thought an earlier start time of 6pm or 6:30pm would have been better for most people. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
