So is Howarth ok to ride tomorrow having missed last nights match at Leicester? I know he wasn't injured or ill so was just wondering what the rule is on that.

Dont forget they dont change their team mid season and apparently this gives them some sort of solace when they lose heavily. I would prefer my club to change if they can to improve the team.  

Not really. The rumours are simply based on Kevin Boothby's illness (he's got leukemia), so they are presuming Towcester and Oxford will be in trouble. Reality is the plans for Suffolk Downs are still ongoing, so there's likely to be more tracks in Boothby's portfolio - not less. If the worst does happen, and he steps down, Mike Davis is likely to take over.

so is there any foundation behind the rumours?

Glasgow are at full strength, Jason Edwards for Victor and Hook for Grahn.    Makes us weaker, even at full strength we’d probably struggle to hold on to our 8 point lead anyway.

Last time at foxhall  Heat 1 …. Doyle passed Kurtz  Heat 6….King passed Bewley  Heat 8…. Mulford gated twice both times passed by King  Heat 14…. Thompson and Cook good battle  Heat 15…. King passed Kurtz  So yes our track isn’t as good as yours but you still get some good overtaking and close races  Though it does seem that when your team do gate at Foxhall the home team have the skill set to get past. Last night proved it’s not just the technical tracks that your bottom 4 struggle with it’s any track
