    Already running r/r for Knudsen. 

    short notice but could've used r/r for Wright and a guest for Knudsen?

    Kemp, Hume, Pearson, Castagna, Heeps all fit, of course some may not have been available.

    Irrelevant now I've heard Knudsen is riding.

    Knudsen is riding now. Polish meeting postponed.

    Because both are probably on the way down and aint getting any better. Sedgmen rode for Plymouth a few season ago and his attitude was diabolical. Clearly doesn't like the track or the club.

    I hope we don't go near either to be honest, want big money for mediocre on track performances. 

    I'd rather take a 6 pointer on the way up every day of the week.

    Sedgmen rode for Redcar back in 2012. His attitude back then was lousy. Has guested for us. Would never don a Bears race jacket ever again. If I had a say in the matter.

    Didn't Glasgow do their best to ensure you won the meeting. Reid and McKinna both got excluded in the final heat - tapes and 2 minutes but Dixon fell and the Bears lost the meeting and the title. Turning point was probably in heat 11 when Geoff Powell knocked Jim Burdfield off when passing him. Was impressed with Burdfields restraint when protesting the decision in what would prove to be my last night in the box.

    Glasgow didn't want Ellesmere to win the title after they got the league points awarded on some technicality - track staff stopping a race rather than the referee or something like that! 

    Glasgow Reserves, David Cassels 7, Geoff Powell 10 + 2. Middlesbrough reserves, Bernie Collier 0, Roland Tebbs 1. Think that must of been Leggy Powells best ever meeting for Glasgow. That is where the meeting was won. Both Of Glasgows venues were terrible race tracks. When they raced at Blantyre. Ideal for Gaters, like Steve Lawson.

    Friday 01/11/1985. Glasgow Tigers, 41 Middlesbrough Tigers, 37. Meeting had been postponed on 2 previous occasions. 1st on 19/07/1985. 2nd on 04/10/1985. Both because of rain. First meeting was called off at 11am. I travelled to the meeting, arriving at 4pm. Was dry and sunny. Track was bone dry. Having to race in November. We were missing Mark Fiora. Had returned to Oz. Cost us League Title. Which went to Ellesmere Port. We would of won the meeting. Back in July. Still bitter about Glasgows exploits 38 years ago.
