    To put the record straight, Brennan had gated, Bailey in 2nd, Worrall in 3rd, going into the 3rd bend Worrall went underneath Bailey,  no contact,  but Bailey fell, the rerun was 3 riders only,as Bailey was disqualified.  Worrall won the rerun.

    Glasgow so I understand wanted the heat to be awarded,  but it was only the 3rd bend on the second lap.

    If the leader had started lap 3 when the race is stopped it can be awarded no matter where incident happened.  The ref could have awarded it but chose not to

    Way before my time but Charles Edward monk was my old man's favourite ever tiger. My old man's a dour faced sod as well so probably kindred spirits!! Tells story about night I assume was Hampden the referee pulled him back twice at the start, 3rd time he went into the pits, put his bike on back of his car and left :rofl:

    Surely should be a NL rider if Marcin is missing for this reason.

    There is no such rule of a NL guest - “no facility” rule is a rider minus 25% of the missing riders average.  However a facility is granted for circumstances of that riders wedding - maybe the last being Simon Lambert. Precedent is set and thereby Glasgow applied for a facility which has been granted.  My main gripe is more to do with the “apparently” word used in the press release. Can you imagine if he wasn’t getting married and we applied to get one - then I’d expect us to be thrown out of the competition.

  4. Just for the avoidance of doubt Marcin Novak is not “apparently” getting married on Saturday (copyright Edinburgh Speedway Official Website) he IS getting married on Saturday.  Just want to be clear on that point - and while we are at it this has been arranged for a while and not just since last Friday - yes I know it’s hard to believe that a wedding can take longer than 8 days to arrange.

    Genuine question - does anyone have a theory as to why Lakeside persist with R/R (rather than a guest) for Kyle Newman? I was at Peterborough last night and I can't see how giving extra rides to Alfie Bowtell and Broc Nicol is supposed to work.

    They are not entitled to a guest - only r/r as he's 4th in the averages

  6. The rule about no GP riders in what is now the Championship was certainly written in black and white recently - in the 2018 regulations however it is nowhere to be seen! 

    The move is still subject to approval and we will wait and see what they say.
