  1. I have to say Glasgow is the most professional club I have visited, was made very welcome from the promotion to the bar staff. Will definitely return

  2. I think before the season I would of preferred evening meetings but not now. The amount of families/kids and younger people attending is noticeably higher than any other track I’ve ever attended. 100% believe this is due to afternoon racing and the crowd levels would not be the same in the evening. Must have been at least 3x as many people there yesterday than what was at our recent away meetings at Scunthorpe and Edinburgh. I remember commenting at Edinburgh there weren’t any kids in sight! I will take that over a bit of extra dust, which I think Steve does well to control.

  5. I wouldn't be surprised if they were both back at Workington next season. My logic being there no point in keeping struggling riders unless you think they'll improve in the future? Basically the only reason not to drop them this year is to benefit next year, to me it would be ludicrous to keep them all year, virtually ruin any chance of winning trophies, but then not re-sign them.

  7. No such rule. If the race is stopped after an incident on the first bend it's due to an unsatisfactory start.

  10. I think there's a reason he didn't get back to them. Certainly, his surprise at not being included in the Glasgow team for this year in his tweet at the end of the season wasn't real. It was a shame he left the club how he did. If he'd just said "I'd rather ride somewhere else next year", every reasonable person would have understood.

  11. I remember seeing Foord make his NDL debut at Eastbourne and it was frightening !!! brilliant to see him really improve and score very decent points in the championship.

  13. It’s good to see so many Kids and young people attending they are the future customer base. Glasgow have been promoting this for years Roary, kids races etc. Friday night against Poole was the largest amount of kids I have seen take part in the kids race and it’s great too see so many enjoying themselves.

  14. Don’t know why the Comets fans need to justify anything regarding dust because a couple of Poole fans comments on it. Warm day,, afternoon meeting off course you will get some dust . Even when they are dominant they still find something personally I thought they controlled it very well.

  15. Excellent entertainment today with good racing from both sides. Top class track well looked after by Steve Lawson. I am sure Workington will move forwards and upwards in the passage of time. Keep up the good work

  16. Tracks are better when less sun, more rain and generally damper. Gets in to the base and water table. The biggest single issue though was when total loss oil system ended. All of that Castrol R that used to be deposited from the engine was a brilliant bonding agent for the shale.

  17. The score at Workington this afternoon shows what an effort it was by us last night to take the Pirates to a last heat decider

  19. Would be amazed if they don’t win the treble this year. They just have a different class of rider. Saw Ben Cook’s race wins in the PL Ekstraliga today against Wroclaw and he was flying

  21. Forum users should show respect for other fans within the speedway family including using words like scummy and pilots all of which are uncalled for. It used to wind me up when Dick Barrie got stuck into the Comets fans calling us Comics etc when on the presentation mic at Berwick.

  22. Glasgow by all accounts seem to have a good relationship with their Poole counterparts I assume they are both singing from the same hymn sheet. As very successful business men outside of Speedway they will run the club in the same way as they would their business. I don’t think the context of your link regarding what Tom said is not that Glasgow weren’t professional but more to do with he is happy at his new club as much as he was with us. Its really good to see he has went up another level as he also did with us.

  25. Just been thinking about our reserves pairing. Do you see anyone signing them up in the champ next season? I can't see Sam nor celina getting snapped up by anyone purely based on their ability and scoring this season.

  26. You have 2 mins to push home from when the race finishes as long as you don’t have any outside help which is what he done Thomson just pulled his bike out from under the fence started it again rode it home for the point seen it loads of times ,riders leaning there bikes over to warm tyres must be pretty common as every rider does it at the start but monarchs riders were saying they could see smoke coming from the back tyre but being barkers lawn mowers like people were saying lol maybe it was engine oil burning out exhaust or the primary chain getting too much oil and burning off like you see after most races

  30. I don't think he can, which is a very stupid rule imo. Surely a club using an unattached rider is better than using one from a rival team?

  32. Torun 9 - 2 up at reserve so far which has been the massive difference. Czestochowa lead 26 - 23 when you take out the Juniors scores.

  33. Czestochowa have fallen apart here. Should never be allowing the Torun junior riders to take points off the senior riders on a regular basis.

  40. What a strange post It is a development league for enhancement by having more track time and learning. If you get to the tapes on two minutes, maybe you can do a better job. Constructive criticism is always welcome by riders, why not try it?

  44. That would make sense I think Cam's days of chasing a top league place are over (although never say never!) I think the fact he is riding for fun as such rather than needing to perform is perversely meaning he is enjoying it and therefore actually doing better A great guy and a fantastically talented racer. It's great to see him with a smile and getting some big scores

  47. I see the will to win in zmarzlik like no other rider, he is 100% no matter if GP or challenge meeting and I guess it must demoralise the opposition somewhat how he is on it all the time and he looks like he enjoys doing it too

  48. As much as people will potentially disagree and also state there are few dates to choose from... i also think having Cardiff on the opening day of the premier league will halt a few fans going to it live, bearing in mind the time to travel to Cardiff for a lot of the country. IF people are forced to choose majority will stick with football unless its the die hard Speedway fans.
