Some people don't appreciate a bit of fun 🙄

Cook was a pale shadow when he came last year to Glasgow.

Crowds have felt normal to me this year. I've not noticed them being particularly up or down on last year.

It's a poor line-up but it's likely to be the best they could come up with to cover for the injuries at such short notice. It should be a Monarchs win tonight but improvement has to come from Mitchell Cluff if it is to be a big victory because the bonus points in this league phase will be important.

Forecast looks terrible on the met office rain radar I’m afraid. Rain comes in about 15.45 and leaves at midnight

Pointless saying it's a poor lineup without offering what he would consider a better one IMO.

Rain late afternoon,saves alot in travel and medical cover early call off.

Very early call off this, forcast does not look that bad to make a call now.

most of the more senior riders dont want to risk getting injured. they should have at least sent a couple of riders out to do a few laps to test the track. it was a bad look

Forecast looked fine when i checked yesterday.

Going to be tough now, with already using r/r

Agreed. The boys will need to be on it tonight and have their gating gloves on. Jeppesen can fly round Ashfield as can Cook on his day and Batchelor can pop out the traps for an occasional win as can Zischke. Perry can sometimes gate well and hold a front position. Much will depend on Hausel and Jacobsen’s performance imo.

The Board of Directors....

That does change things slightly. Cairns is getting 7 rides.

Cooper not riding tonight, after his fall at Oxford on Wednesday, Harry Sadler replaces him

Meeting off 😥

Didnt think it was a good crowd against Berwick but maybe that was related to the weather?

He didn’t say he could……that’s my point.

Thanks Lisa, hope the ill informed can understand the Bowes situation. Heading up to Redcar, just stopped for Mc Donald. Go Pirates.☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

In this weeks "star" gerry says crowds are up this year!

'They will again be without Fraser Bowes at number two as he is still recovering from a freak accident in which a spring hit him in the eye whilst working on his bikes in his workshop on Tuesday. He will also miss the second leg of the cup under the seven-day rule for a non-speedway injury.'

I think there is definitely a market for streaming at the right price... One of Speedways weaknesses also can be it's strength... Due to the team model it uses, you don't have the same tribalism that other team sports can engender, however the sport does have a large proportion of followers that generically follow the sport, and very closely.. Meaning any meeting, regardless of the two teams involved, will attract their attention.. I watch Swedish and Polish meetings on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but won't lay out £14 or so for a UK stream.. Make it £7-£10 and I probably would, at least once a week... In the Speedway Star, Gerry Facenna mentions how surprised he was by how many fans from overseas have purchased their streams.. It could be a big market if the price point is set well, and clubs don't just think that the fans of both teams are their target market, (or might not attend and buy the stream instead).. Glasgow say they only streamed due to crowd increases in the stadium, and, once again, are using their own fans to help drive bigger crowds with free tickets.. That's the key... If a promoter thinks "I won't stream as my fans will stay at home and watch", then they either are not promoting well enough, not providing enough entertainment, or the competitions they run are not engaging enough people... Do their day job properly, and streaming should be the icing on the cake..

Not a great line up for Oxford,seem to be relying on Dayle Wood to have a good one, for Edinburgh Kye is flying so should be a very easy home win. Injuries happen and you sometimes get lucky with who you can bring in and sometimes you dont, the guests for Oxford are clearly poor replacements.

If you don’t get an answer from someone who has been there recently, you could try emailing the club. I’m sure they will be efficient in replying. sekretariat@speedway-prague.cz

Not even Ipswich Speedway! Some people have too much time on their hands.
