Poole track is in the best condition it has been in for a long while. Smooth and allowing for plenty of passing.

Tickets booked. Cheers

I would take a 49-41 defeat. But anything into 52-38 is dangerous ground. I would be surprised and disappointed if we gave up a large lead. The team is riding well, we have 3 heat leaders and the second strings and reserve are doing well. We lost at the start of the season but lost Rory in heat 1 and he is in good form. This is his final hurrah and he will want to leave everything in the track to bring home a trophy to end his career.

Are the seats individually numbered or if I buy seated tickets, can we sit where we want if early enough?

Start Marshalls need to be much more consistent and in line with every club in the league like in Poland. No lining up at an angle other than 90 degrees to the tapes. Front wheel one inch from tapes, which need to be taut. If a rider moves they will hit the tapes and be exc. if they roll back, the will be exc.

Surely if Kent are closing move the show to Eastbourne and open next season.

Good there was absolutely no malice intended.

Is it worth buying tickets in advance or just pay on the gate?

Can’t see a threat to the meeting. Heavy rain today will pass for a most dry wi dry day tomorrow, and a day day Tuesday with sunny periods.

Of course it’s not ignorance. It’s friendly banter. I could have said perhaps Nessy will be in the crowd for extra support or I am looking forward to a deep fried Mars bar washed down with some Irn Brew. With an och aye the noo thrown in for good measure. Most would see it has harmless banter and nothing more. Surprised we haven’t all been called Dorset Knobs in return. Scotland is a beautiful country and I love to visit the Highlands. But it seems it’s best to avoid the main cities where the welcome isn’t as friendly as the folk who live in more rural areas.

So Scots don’t do a bit of friendly banter. I understand. Hope we stuff ‘em out of sight like we did Edinburgh.

It was clearly a bit of fun/banter. If you take offence at nonsense like that there’s no hope.

Comes across as another Gavin/Trackrat.

No chance. Poole far too strong for the Edinburgh team.

Fingers crossed it all goes ahead as the price of changing the flights is probably more than the original cost. Going to be 30 hours no sleep as it stands. The weather here has been mild, with 15 C about as low as it has got. Seeing Glasgow as single digits means bringing a proper coat. We haven’t had a cold night this autumn so far, so a shock to the system is on the cards. The problem with flying nd having no base is that we have to cart everything around with us. Not great. Ideally we would have. Hotel at a fair price and a mid day return flight so no panic getting to the airport. Hope at 7 am Wednesday morning I am not thinking, why did I come all this way for no sleep and a 26 point defeat? (I know that won’t happen)

All the team are on good form. We are not carrying anyone and if a rider has a bad meeting, then we have a good reserve. However, Ben Basso has not ridden at Glasgow so will take 2 races to get used to it. I do expect Glasgow to take a lead to Poole. But will it be enough?

They are giving Monday and Tuesday mostly dry. Rain Sunday. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcuvz3bch#?nearestTo=Glasgow (Glasgow City)&date=2021-11-02

Well there are 25,000 visitors in town for the big event. Restaurants could be very busy I will check it out thanks.

If we can’t make it for the ladt bus to the airport at 10.30, we might just go for a curry and beer in the city before grabbing a taxi to the airport later. So what are the good curry houses or place to get a beer. Not Wetherspoons.

For those Poole fans who didn’t make the press conference after the meeting, here it is in all its glory.

Just looked up Kelvingrove museum and art gallery. Right up my street. Here’s a question. The stadium to Buchanan Bus Station for the last bus to the airport at 10.30pm. Walking approx 45 mins. Bit of a hike. Are there buses from the stadium, or better to call a taxi?

Cheers for the info. Will make sure we can get back by bus or it’s a taxi.

Thanks. I wear a face mask as a matter of course and courtesy to others. Never would enter a building without one. Only COVIDIOTS wouldn’t wear a mask.

Is this how Glasgow fans treat visiting fans, with threatening undertones? Happened a few times on this thread.
