    I was at the track and can confirm it was dusty right from the off. 

    To be fair I've been at Ashfield when it's been dustier.

    I'm 100% convinced that if the meeting had been squeezed to Heat 10 then Poole would have wanted it called. 

    Completely agree, I was there as well. Totally agree re heat 10 as well. It should be a rule that in cup ties or aggregate scoring fixtures, both have to run the distance.

    Could have got a lot more in if they hadn't have had a rider parade and got on with it at 6pm sharp, or even more if they had started at say 4pm, being the forecast for rain was known days ago 

    Agree about the early start, there might be a reason why they couldn’t start early though, rider or referee availability? 
     

    I reckon it should be compulsory for play offs to run the distance, hardly fair for the home team to lose a chunk of the tie regardless of who it is.

    When there is rain coming lol. Havvy might have someone to do his programme for him, looks like Glasgow need someone to read a forecast for them! 

    Did you not watch it Lisa? BSN commentary saying the track was “very dusty” after heat 1… 

    It’s clear Poole wanted to continue until heat 10 and then finish.

    Nathan Ablitt Instagram story.

    Cami Brown’s interview “the track was rideable, not raceable…..” 

    Paul Starke was on the outside line into bend 3 and the back wheel just gave way, no grip at all. 
     

    Very convenient for Poole suggesting we keep racing after heat 5 and try to call it at heat 10 if the rain continues, that way Glasgow lose 5 heats of home advantage.
     

    The rain had started again not long after, there was no chance of getting to heat 10, especially after Worrall couldn’t sit still at the tapes, then couldn’t sit on his bike and then destroyed the tapes, I’m sure we could have had a few extra races if he hadn’t thrown his toys out the pram!

    Thought the Basso/Brennan decision was correct but a howler from the ref in Heat 2. Excluding Marcin for a non-existent tape touch and screwing the gate 4 advantage for the Tigers. Could be very costly. 

    I was on the far side and was convinced he never touched them, if he didn't then that is a horror decision, especially in such an important meeting.

    Getting to the stage that this would be the sensible option as if not staged before Sunday both would get no points towards the final standings.

     

    However the forecast is improved for the weekend but as we know this can change , situation with Howarth at Sheffield won't help Leicester R/R for him i imagine unless he decides that the meeting at Glasgow is the more important one ? 

    From a Glasgow perspective, we don't have any real urgency/need to run this meeting before the cut off, as long as we get the Birmingham meeting on Friday, and we get 3pts, then we are secure in second place. The only team that could overtake us is Leicester by beating us at home, that assumes Redcar don't win at Poole tonight.

    Which in all likelihood made the track worse well it did by all accounts.

    If I were Glasgow I would rearrange after the cut of date saying that the forecast might dictate that anyway.

    Totally agree, if we manage to beat Birmingham and Poole don’t lose at home to Redcar then we are safe in second. 
     

    Like others have said, Howarth didn’t look happy from the off!

    I would be happy with that team. I doubt Rasmus will be back though.

    In that case I'd go with....

    1. C Cook 10.18
    2. S Jensen 4.34
    3. R Wells 7.05
    4. A Summers 7.51
    5. R Lawson 8.32
    6. C Bailey 3.11
    7. C Coles 2.00

    42.51 total but with 2.5% reductions we'd be fine.

    So if Redcar progress on Saturday it’s Glasgow v Redcar next week with the away leg on Thursday - the same day as the Swindon v Ipswich match. Who has priority for Claus and Rasmus? 

    I’d have said Glasgow as they rode for us first but seem to remember reading something about the Premiership taking priority.
