SharpenRake 1,512 Posted April 26, 2017 I think you need to look further here, it's easy to blame the track staff but maybe they aren't being given the tools to do the job. To have exciting racing you need dirt the lack of which has been mentioned since the first match. I haven't returned since then but it doesn't seem to have changed. without dirt you need to gate, where is the excitement in that? Tigers have racers in the team so give them dirt. As has been said earlier the problem was a lack of water. The track was ok for Newcastle match 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,714 Posted April 26, 2017 As a neutral who only has the video of heat 13 on the BSPA site to go by it certainly didnt look like there was a lack of dirt. Yes a bit loose and dry but that issue seems to have been explained. Im sure if a few more races are like that one then most wont be too unhappy regardless of the conditions. That was a really good race. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted April 26, 2017 if some glasgow fans feel as though they are not being entertained by that type of racing , they need to pick another sport to watch . perhaps ultimate croc wrestling ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midget 165 Posted April 26, 2017 How expensive is a day out at Glasgow speedway? Jeez I couldn't afford that every week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one heat & apart from a Bewley pass on Campton the rest was gate and go. But we would all prefer more passing sometimes circumstances will not allow it will see how things fair over the coming weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GS550 449 Posted April 27, 2017 How expensive is a day out at Glasgow speedway? Jeez I couldn't afford that every week. Absolute nonsense, speedway admission prices have been in the teens (in pounds sterling) for what seems like forever, its the 21st century. I used to be able to buy a round for a tenner, the other week I got some change back from forty quid. Glasgow's standard admission price is £17.50, cheap as chips as far as I'm concerned, you need to get out more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GS550 449 Posted April 27, 2017 it's really not cheap as chips though is it, all around not just adult admission Fer heavens sake man do you never let up, always a comeback full of garbage. I only mentioned the admission price, and in any case it was qualified, the magic words after "cheap as chips" being "AS.... FAR.... AS..... I'M..... CONCERNED". So stop trying to always tell me and dictate to me that I don't have a view when I do, especially when its qualified anyway that you tend to conveniently overlook, wise up fer heavens sakes man. Maybe you only pay 50 pence for a round of drinks, last couple of rounds I bought I got some change from thirty or forty quid each time so anywhere in the teens for a bleedin speedway match is nuthin, a bit like your comebacks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
