Hopefully Richard Lawson's announcement today will explain his absences this week and appease all the doubters and rumourmongers. Congratulations Rich!

I really don't get all the negativity (bullrubbish) about the playoffs.  pretty much very other sport that operates a league structure includes play-offs of one sort or another. Clubs love 'em because they are still money-spinners compared to standard fixtures (not least because clubs can raise the admission prices) and they can sometimes be the difference between a club losing money or breaking even over the season!  They still attract larger crowds and often greater local/regional media coverage..

The Edinburgh Riders and Management failed to see the preparation between heats 14 and 15 extended break with the outside being tyre packed and the inside being graded. Glasgow riders knew where to go.

Great meeting, great racing, with Nagel scoring zero Edinburgh should be in the final. I am sure most Glasgow fans will want Poole in the final, two reasons, One for revenge and two because probably Redcar will be harder to beat. Obviously I hope Poole make it and I dont care how much flack and abuse we receive about our track.

I was the same regarding Leon, he has gone up a level or two, ultimately when it really matters. Positively he looks to be on a steal of an average for next year.
