Of the last two Sky meetings I know which I preferred and it wasn't tonight. The E.L. snobs can't think there was passing in that, I said that you don't always need passing to be a good meeting if the racing is close with team riding but that had neither until the last race.

Not at Glasgow, the team are in the bar having a bite to eat and sign autographs.

At the Glasgow White City track there was cheer leaders on the centre green with boards spelling out Tigers, Problem was when they turned to faced the back straight the boards read S..R..E..G..I.. T.

Just waiting for the new Edinburgh Speedway Arena to be completed and the builders are free.

Roof?

R/R used to cancel out and both teams used their No.8.

First in a long time.

Grrrrrr!.....and that's not a Tiger's roar.

Still doesn't make it right. Are most people involved now from announcers down not licensed?

Well the second question must be why? If your former stars pay why not refs? Not many people would speak to them rather than a former hero.

Betty, wife of Jimmy and mother of Bobby and Jim, sadly passed away last night. R.I.P.

On a side note, do refs get free admission to meetings that they are not on duty at?

No, you're all right. You wont need a passport to enter but you will have to have a letter signed by Jimmy Krankie to leave.

No problem with that, thought that he rode well.

That's Danny all the time. Best to celebrate a win when you get it, you can't come out a couple of races later and run over to the crowd for their appreciation.

Tai can't do it either, so what's your point caller?

Dam!.... John Campbell said that not riding was the best preparation.

If it's off you don't need to stay in to watch it.

But unfortunately some ref just want to be the big man, or woman, in control.

No. that's the flea in your ear,

Let's have a referendum. Should Tai Woffinden ride for G.B. Yes or No.

I thought it was pure poetry.

The Den will have some on the menu for them on Wednesday, with or without custard.

What would you call it? For your information I have never even handled a bottle of Buckfast never mind tasted it.

It's easy to find a puddle on the track and take th photo beside it. Maybe they should have videoed it showing the running time on screen.
