The actual event? I had seen that qualifying was cancelled.

How's the weather in the east? In the west It's been chucking down all night and showery again this morning. Is our rain dance working?

Spine chilling entertainment 🥰

Still time for Jimmy Grieves to come out of retirement and obtain an absence reduction average down to 2.34 🤔

Any news on wee Max?

Oh dear oh dear oh dear 🤡

Apparently confirmed.....

Any s t r e a m s kicking about?

I only started following speedway in the mid 90s. My first meetings were at Armadale and for a couple of years, once I was hooked, I would go to Edinburgh, Berwick and Glasgow, over a weekend. Peter Carr was probably the first rider who I thought was in a different class, which I later found out was literally true but IIRC he hardly ever came round to take the applause. Not never, but IIRC not regularly. I was never sure why, was he just being super professional and wanting the bike back with the mechanics asap......?

This is all very odd. Is Ashton still a Glasgow rider, or not? The TM and/or promotion cannot be unaware of the social media speculation, like it or not. It would be good to get an official statement.

PUMPED again 🤣

Oh wait, sorry, did you mean they wouldn't get a guest for Morris? Apologies, I think that's what you meant.

I've no skin in this game, just a passing interest, but respectfully I don't agree that it's the same thing. I do see your argument but IMO there's a difference because the season hasn't started. If, hypothetically, Cook has quit speedway, I know I know again again, then he's not really withholding his services, he's not available at all to withdraw his services. It's an interesting conundrum.

I don't claim to be a font of knowledge but didn't Plymouth get a guest facility for Niko Cavati (sorry if that spelling is wrong) and he didn't start the season but was in their declared 1-7? He was "genuinely" injured and underestimated how long it would take him to recover IIRC.
