There's a middle ground though. Give the riders who want to entertain and race something to work with without making it 'easy' for them. Poole are a very good team and dont need to completely doctor a track to win, and I wouldn't put it past them winning the second leg too on a track which will most likely provide plenty of lines and passing.

I expect plenty will congratulate Poole on winning the title. If the racing is good the track will get praise, if there are a couple passes all night it will get criticised.

I'm all for a bit of home advantage but do we really want to be preparing tracks which make overtaking virtually impossible? That's a very slippery slope. And a real shame for a showpiece meeting.

Glasgow will need a large slice of luck or the meeting of their careers. Poole are experts at getting the job done and I think they probably will, twelve points is a big deficit.

Its never sat well with me, taking the mickey out of people who have supported you all season.

I'd have thought the track is plenty wide enough after all the widening over the last 15 years or so?

Got a nasty feeling this could be over and done with bar the shouting come 10pm.

Spot on 👍

Ken!

Not when you can name somebody in your top five and not give them a ride.

Hopefully the Championship gets its act together next year if it still exists as a second division, the fixtures have been a shambles for more than one season now. Redcar going through reminds me of England winning the cricket World Cup in 2019 by virtue of more boundaries.

Unsurprisingly it got a mention on BBC Radio Norfolk this morning ⭐🏆

Told to by Poole probably.

I believe his 15th birthday is on the day of this meeting and he has only been on 250's this year in the BYC.

Bomber not at it at all.

Decent line up. As well as Coops Ingram, Etherington, Loftus and Norman are all fine prospects.

Yep enjoyed that, good mixture of views from the guests (and accents 😁) What's the host's name?

Glasgow reserves combined most recent greensheets = 5.05 Poole's = 8.04 Pretty clear who has most strength at reserve. Expecting the difference to be significant in both legs so Glasgow's top five need to score big twice.

Hadn't heard about this podcast, have downloaded all episodes and will give them a listen this week 👍

IF Bewley did move (don't see it personally if he's getting a testimonial) then it might not be anything to do with the track but simply the need for a fresh challenge and a change of club, sometimes that can be good for a sportsperson or what they feel they need.

Was his 'ban' in 2022 when he decided to ride in Poland and Sweden instead of the UK?

RUSHEN No D!

Glasgow's recent inaction and the weakness of their reserves would comcern me a bit as a Tigers fan, Poole have a fair bit of momentum at the moment and know how to get the job done at the business end of the season. Glasgow will need to keep things tight in the away leg to have any chance.

Goooaaaarn the Young Stars 🏆⭐😎
