Sunny Armadale is just Cardiff without the roof. What's not to like?

PS have just seen Gavan's post which has previously said this.

Another tough meeting for the GT Tyres Comets. Track specialist Danny King and a very much in form Scotty Nicholls form a strong Gladiators spearhead. Both riders dominated heats 13 and 15 at Glasgow last night. This is very much going to need yet another big team effort if we are to bag the 2 points. Good to see Niklas back and today would be very timely for him to produce his best performance in the big C. Thanks in anticipation to Mitch Cluff whom I hope performs as well as he did when guesting for us against the Bandits and to Mickie Simpson who if he can beat Tom Spencer will have done all we ask. Come on you Comets, we need to start our home league campaign off with a win so give it your all guys and scrap for every point ! UTC.

Newman yes but not so sure on Bowes. In theory it should help increase his GSA. If we get to that stage then it may well be a question of money as I get the feeling the Ford's won't want to pay for a foreign rider/youngster to come over with all the associated costs involved. Not in the Champ with less money involved in the sport. Problem is of course is if they stay with Bowes and his GSA does not get back to above 5 at reserve then they have kind of snookered themselves on a decent replacement. Hopefully his POL signing late this week will give him more laps to improve confidence but in all honesty I remain to be convinced. Just hope I am wrong.

I’m not complaining with the Redcar draw, especially when it was a 50/50 Redcar or Poole

Then next week apparently we have the bikers festival thingy so they will be taking up a lot of the car park as well

It’s been a very wet morning, and I did see the shows have taken up over half the FREE carpark, and like has been said 3/4 Bandits out, along with Harrison, after a successful start to the season crowds wise I dont mind the call tbh. Hopefully no Scunny fans had accommodation booked.

Friday 8th May – West Lothian 15 Workington 21

Forecast changed for the better yesterday. I looked the other day and it was expected to rain from early morning to late morning. Thankfully, it looks great today. On another note, im excited to see young Mickie on his debut championship meeting.

We play golf by the "Adolf & Eva" rules. Only two shots in the bunker.

Is there a possibility that by looking back over his left shoulder, Rushen caused his bike to veer to the left afterwards? Thereby not a deliberate move, but one caused by lack of experience but neverthleless something which should be addressed with him?

Clearly the forecast that the Referee was seeing. Wonder if the shows in the carpark and injuries are the real reasons. Referee in Berwick from yesterday as he was officiating at Armadale last night

Next full averages will be issued 28th May, Glasgow if making any changes need to do it before then as Flint and Howarth have added to their starting averages so eating into any surplus points once new team averages issued.

You probably loved Derwent Park. Which WAS the worst place in speedway

On other note how long is PHB suspended for, is it the whole of May?

Pretty sure as both Thursday night teams the only thing that could sway who gets the Monday was Leicester having the ‘holders card’ therefore getting first choice of race night. Can’t use the scores from the North/South tables as North section have stronger teams (in my opinion anyway).

The injured Piotr Pawlicki is replaced at 3 by Wiktor Przyjemski.

True but Nowak and Tarasenko were. There is just no knowing how it will go. After Worky next Friday we have four away matches before our next home meeting. If we are to keep the current 1-7 we need to work with them and not assume they can turn up on the day of the meeting after a 4 week break and outperform what they have shown so far. We could also help ourselves by prepping the track to suit our riders. Im not sure that has really been happening.

I don't know. Having Newman and Bowes,at reserve could be a masterstroke.

They couldn’t have it live,just in case it went wrong.🤔👎

Sheer Masterclass from Scott Nichols.Good win for Tigers,Hausl and KJP struggle early with track conditions (a little dirt))when it slickens off the look OK.

Weather forecast is good , no rain forecast , with a high of 12 degrees but sunny at start time .

Weather is fine we’re all good 10 mins off the track and sun shining

The racing has been some of the best we’ve seen at Workington recently and I can’t see this being any different this afternoon. Weneed to be on top form Plymouth were very impressive at Glasgow last night. Come on the Comets !

Whats weather like please?
