Mr Blobby 2,663 Posted April 12 Lot going on for the 7 heats. Not sure on rulings but Harris helmet not checked before the race as he’s just jumped onto the bike and away. However impressive ride to do what he did. Good to Jim McGregor is still useless as a ref, ace cleans Connor out excludes Connor. Bit of handbags can’t go wrong with that. Good pass from lasse on Leon as well lined him up for a few laps before making the move. oh well we go again maybe get some kayaks for next time just in case.

To be honest, I'm glad Bomber was late. If he hadn't been, I think we'd all be disappointed we'd seen only 10 heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noelinho 925 Posted April 12 (edited) One thought I had is, we could run the rematch as a double header. Glasgow home meeting on the outside track, Edinburgh can use the inside track for their "home" meeting Edited April 12 by Noelinho 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans are quick to complain about lack of value at speedway yet when promoters agree to delay 15 minutes to give fans as strong a meeting as they can they get hammered for that too. I cant believe I am sticking up for promotions but in this case I think they are getting unfair stick (and unlike some I speak out when I think someone is being treated badly) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She said the tumbler was empty and your onto plums to which I replied I know it’s empty but it was still flat. I thought I was treated abysmally that’s what you get for speaking out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted April 12 Every time I go to Ashfield, I’m even more impressed by the set-up and professionalism. Everyone you encounter, from the ladies at the entrance to the guys sorting the track, are pleasant. I thought it was a great meeting until the heavens opened. What happened with Pijper and Coles? I don’t have the benefit of a reply, but to me, that looked like a solid exclusion for Pijper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted April 12 Also, no words for Chris Harris. Wow. Sam Hagon looked very good. What’s the script with him? Is he of Hagon Shocks pedigree? That equipment looked pristine. Flint’s needing to get his finger out. That was poor. Your third heat leader can’t be getting passed like that at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest facility for 28 days It sounds that he is initially banned for 30 days until the hearing,anything else depends on the outcome of the meeting is the way I read it.

Presumably the Edinburgh promotion didn't want cheap points, and I'm sure we'd agree the same if it were the other way round. I presume the referee (or Edinburgh) said it had to be no more than 15 minutes, which is fair. Glasgow were prepared to put Ace in heat one if it came to it, but I think it was a sensible accomodation. All meetings have to start no later than 15 minutes after advertised start time,did anyone check if harris had his license with him before he went out??,was it a scottish ref tonight??
