31st October has always been cut off date for speedway as far as i can remember.

.

It has,but like has been said the have been occasions where permission has been given to hold meetings outside cut off date,so what’s your point.People have explained this to you.

Serious question -  as someone who has been directly involved in a venue hosting a major convention with high security, will the extra COP26 attendees and Police and security services have any impact on access to the Ashfield Stadium area? (I'm not overly familiar with the city other than the area immediately around the SSE Arena.)

I would imagine there will be an additional security presence at the airport and any other travel hub, with at the very least Police asking people to 'move along' ?

Should be ok at Ashfield as it is some distance from COP26

with all the security in glasgow next week has this meeting been given official sanction to actually take place ?

As I mentioned above, not sure you saw it,  'First bus no. 500 from airport to Buchanan bus station in the city centre should be operating OK when you arrive. You should check when the last bus goes back to the airport.' Don't think the bus is a 24 hour service.

Cheers for the info. Will make sure we can get back by bus or it’s a taxi.

Well me and Rob have decided to fly up after all. 9 am from Gatwick to Glasgow, giving us most of the day up there before the meeting. Is there much to see in Glasgow? Or better to zip over to Edinburgh? I am not interested in walking around Primark or a shopping Center.

Pity it isn't by car, if it was you could do worse than make your way up earlier in the day and stop at such as Biggar.  Edinburgh?  No.

Possill has its own security so no problem.

Not much talk from Glasgow fans on the subject of the meeting. Are they afraid to bring it up? I will make a prediction.Glasgow will need a 14-16 point lead to be champions.  If it’s 10  they still have a chance but need a rider to step up and score who hasn’t done too well at Poole in the past. Less then 10 and Pirates have every chance to be Champs.

Why do I need to tell them? I'm just not going to buy it! I don't like coconuts but I am not going to inform the Tesco staff why I am not buying them. 

Anyone connected with a speedway club should not be swearing at fans or fan in this case. It doesn't matter if it was a wind up or not. 

[Jaizer 2,864]

Ordinarily I'd say stay in Glasgow but I think it's essentially closed apart from COP. My office just off George Square closing for 2 weeks as well.

Why would it? We are nowhere near the SEC.

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Just looked up Kelvingrove museum and art gallery. Right up my street. 

Here’s a question. The stadium to Buchanan Bus Station for the last bus to the airport at 10.30pm. Walking approx 45 mins. Bit of a hike. Are there buses from the stadium, or better to call a taxi?
