  1. What? Who is kylie and what engine failures are you on about? Who are Louise and hawking and what rules don't they have a handle on?
  2. Oh dear. Thought we would lose, but not that badly. Kyle and Josh G might not have won us the meeting, but think it would have been closer with them in the team. Probably not helped that King and co from Ipswich have ridden our track 3 or 4 times in the last month and so have got to know the track
  3. So that's the league and the pairs sorted, just the knock out cup and CLRC to go...
  4. We've lost down there by 14 and 11 this year, it's going to be nip and tuck, but hopefully we've done enough
  5. Any team news yet from a sheffield perspective? Have we got one?!?
  6. I wasn't there, what referee decisions were wrong? there didn't seem to be anything controversial from the updates save for a couple of comments made about Sarjeant' starts, but that's nothing new!!
  7. Sheffield have overturned a bigger deficit in the past against Edinburgh I recall, but on this occasion the form of Sheffield riders and recent results would suggest that we should go through, just hope that all stay safe
  8. Bit of both, Worral was woeful, Bewley had problems at first but looked better in his last couple of rides, Summers tried but was just out ridden, Bowtell was just out of his depth, Sarjeant either gated and won or didn't and didn't, Lawson was Lawson and rode well when he hit the front. The worrying thing for Glasgow and whoever we face next, is that arguably our 3 heat leaders weren't at their best tonight and the winning margin could easily have been greater
  9. My version of light rain and the BBC's are different - just got soaked in town Still think it will be on though as long as it stops as forecast prior to 4pm
  10. It's been dry so far, rain is still forecast for this pm before drying up again for tonight. BBC has downgraded from heavy rain to light rain and the length of time it was due to rain for has decreased too.... I would say the odds are 70/30 for it being on - but then I lost a shed load of cash at the St Leger last weekend which probably proves that I don't understand betting odds!!!!
  11. I'm not so sure - I know we had some gremlins at the start of the Ipswich meeting, but they were giving us more than a run for our money until heat 12 and we haven't exactly pulled up any trees at their place this year. Think both teams would be fairly confident of their chances over the 2 legs
  12. Not the most exciting couple of meetings, save for Lasse Bjerre and his wall of death moves! Can't believe how wide that guy can ride - possibly the only person who gets closer to the fence than Richard Hall used to
  13. The curfew is alive and kicking at Owlerton- fairly sure Bates made reference to it having to be adhered to and the pre-season news conference thing they did. We've had meetings finish for 9pm with an interval - so 1.5hrs to run. Start 15mins early, only grade the track after 7 heats, don't allow any messing about for choosing riders for heat 15, tell the ref to keep things moving at a pace and pray that there are no crashes! Simples
  14. Away fans applauding their own rider? Disgraceful behaviour
  15. Should be a good meeting with both teams riding well at the moment, think Redcar will edge it unfortunately but with revenge being inflicted on Sunday!
  16. Unbelievable. Thought we would do well to hit 30, team performance of the year?!?
  17. But summers scored as many as the 2 other heat leaders combined tonight, really don't see where your criticism is coming from (in relation to tonight's performance at least)
  18. Aaron was about as good as it got for Glasgow tonight, if not for him and Campton it would have been very embarrassing for you.
  19. What's the difference between `Lasse was unable to ride` and `no longer able to ride`?? An extremely subtle difference which amounts to no difference I would humbly suggest
  20. Agreed. We had the meeting won and realistically we don't care if Scunny picked up a bonus point as it won't effect our end of the table, so why not give him the extra experience.
  21. Regarding Wood's exclusion... was the ref having a laugh?!?! He was off gate 4 going round turn 1 still by the fence when he got clattered from behind by Tero who was off gate 1... still can't figure out that decision!! That said, couldn't see the need for booing Tero, not his fault that the ref needs specs
