Total ineptitude by our team manager. Even if Glasgow win this tie, which is pretty unlikely, Brown has to go. Anyone who cannot see that Ace was guaranteed to be last and that Complin "might" not be, isn't good enough.

I'm sure I saw earlier in this thread or another that it is <=4.00.

Just a general rule question..... A tape touching doesn't count as a ride does it? If it does then that's a recipe for some jiggery pokery.

How does a No8 actually work? Could a No8 have 7 rides? Assuming you're right then WTF was Broon thinking?

You're both right and wrong here........I think! Lee could, in theory, take all 4 rider replacement rides, as a reserve. Obviously he technically wouldn't as that would be Lee's 4 programmed plus Lee taking all 4 RRs = 8. So if Lee took all 4 RRs then Ace would need to take one of Lee's programmed rides which would end up Ace having 5 rides on the night, which wasn't wanted. So I think you're right that Ace was compelled, on that night, to take his 4 programmed rides, at least but he wasn't compelled to take any RR rides. Happy for anyone to contradict.

As far as I know, yes, 3 ride minimum, happy for someone more familiar with today's rulebook to contradict. On the face of it, see above, another very poor decision from Broon.

Unlucky Nicholls.......your team appear to have lost..... Hmm.

I was answering the question "when does this fixture need to be completed by". I wasn't suggesting that it'll be Saturday.

Allegedly this Saturday.

Meeting off...

Do you know if that includes Saturday? Is the cut off 2359 on Saturday?

Are you definitely running next year? I hope you are, we need the points!

Line ups? About 3 hours to go, go on folks gees a wee clue.....

Claus and Ben declared fit?

Very very creepy. If I were him I'd never put my laptop into PC World to be repaired.......... allegedly.

And the winner for post of the season

If the Glasgow rider had his helmet on at the time I'd give the opposition manager an "A" for ambition.

Calm down dear.

It's Oxford.

"Highlights" on Eurosport very poor. I didn't count but probably only about 9 of the 23 heats actually shown, in an hour long show, at a small track, WTF?

But then there's this.... https://m.facebook.com/dangilkesracing Very odd.

Weird, he's listed by Plymouth on the Gladiators twitter/X.....

Or park for free at said Bingo/Farmfoods.

With respect "Glasgow" could be anywhere within a ten mile radius, I've specifically looked up where the track is. Obvs I hope I'm wrong but I expect the damage will have been done, it's rained a lot over the last couple of days. A couple of hours not raining probably won't counteract 48 hours of rain.

It's black magic really.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637197
