What if they offered you £15 to watch it? Of course they would need your bank details.

Just to say that the trains will be running as normal tomorrow from Glasgow Queen Street (upper level) to Ashfield (ironically the planned strike for today was cancelled)

So in other words, total quality.

No you are having a laugh.

Firstly, I assume you mean Craig Cook but you don't have the gonads to say so. Secondly, GP superstar and many misdemeanours? When has Craig Cook claimed to be a superstar and when has he let down GB when competing for or representing them? As usual, lets make up a story based on prejudice and stupidity! If you were in anyway genuinely interested you would have been able to discover that the GB management, as in previous years, asked riders who wanted to compete in Grand Prix qualifiers, ride abroad, etc, etc, for season 2021. Some riders like Chris Harris said he'd be willing, Craig Cook decided his days of travelling abroad were over as he wanted more time with his family. A squad of riders were selected including U21s to ride for and represent GB. It is only right and fair that the riders named in the GB squad should be selected. Craig is better around Glasgow than Adam Ellis and Chris Harris but it would be unfair to ask squad members to forego their place, this is assuming that Craig would even want to do it, which I doubt.

The weather forecast has been different every day for the last 7 days and at one point was getting better but as you say the current one isn't looking good. Then again we waited until lunchtime one Friday but ultimately felt obliged to cancel a match due to a horrendous forecast and it proved to be totally wrong. I believe covers will be used and they will do everything to get it on.

Yes look at the time. I'm off for a kip. Are you at work, well done. Didn't know circuses were hiring . I suppose they must be desperate, after Brexit.

God its really really really a shame Workington had to close down and sensible considerate intelligent fans have been lost to the sport and this Forum. On the other hand........

I wasn't there tonight nor bought the stream so can't comment on the performance of individual riders but I always take the view you win as a team and lose as a team. Can't help wonder whether our enforced wait didn't help us. Firstly if the quarter final had been completed when it should we wouldn't have been up against kemp, Rowe and Edwards. Also our guys were possibly not as sharp as they had been due to lack of racing. I watched the monarchs official updates, BSF updates and comments on the supporters Facebook page and was amazed at how the same incident was reported differently. I always thought things would be tight and wonder if Broc being excluded at Ashfield resulting in a 4-2, and possibly a 5-1 if he'd been patient, turning into a 3-3 was a key moment. Now do we hope that the team now know what to expect and get there set ups sorted tomorrow or do we hope the weather does us a favour?

Or perhaps just keeping himself safe. Let's be honest Armadale is pretty poor normally but trying to race in October is a bridge too far. He showed tonight what can be achieved even with broken fingers when on a proper speedway track.

Yep get everything for free and then wonder why it's not there anymore - great strategy by true speedway fans

There is a big difference between saying 'you can watch it' and 'you can watch it for free'. Which is it? Or perhaps the stream is going to be sold to polish TV?

What makes you think it would be free in Poland?

So you log on hoping to see something from the fans of Edinburgh about their forthcoming fixtures against Glasgow and discover you have to read a thread headed ''Play off Q/F Edinburgh v Redcar Friday 1st and Sunday 3rd October' . Presumably all future meetings will also be discussed under this thread, if so I'll delete mine.

SPEEDWAY GB - British Speedway Official Website see it's not difficult when you try

That's why there are almost 2 pages discussing it on the Redcar thread with you a 'key' contributor.

Whose website? And in any case what has that got to do with discussing forthcoming fixtures against Glasgow on a Redcar thread?

Could Edinburgh fans please post all relevant information on forthcoming fixtures at Armadale against Glasgow here rather than on the Edinburgh v Redcar thread or are you all too embarrassed?

Well said, albeit I'd have used stronger language.

Clearly the Poles are taking this seriously bringing over Musielak as their 6th rider when they could easily have used Glasgow's Marcin Nowak. Musielak was unbelievable in the Grand Prix Challenge using Brady Kurtz's bike, so goodness knows what he'll be like if he has his own machine! Just hope the weather is kind. The weather has been unpredictable recently with it pouring with rain in one part of the City and dry in another so fans shouldn't assume if it is raining where they live or if approaching Glasgow that it will be raining at the track but then again .........

'Possibly media work involved' as Phil Lanning said in last night's Glasgow programme you will only attract the attention of the media if there is a controversial story. So how about 'Brennan refuses to participate in pointless media work for Team GB preferring to ride for his team.' Obviously only if Tom is selected and if Glasgow are riding on Friday night.

Really. Most sportsmen want to play/compete not sit around playing cards or whatever. They certainly don't want to be sitting worrying about a forthcoming fixture or worrying about getting injured. The best thing for Tom, if selected for GB, would be to go out and score well at Edinburgh on the Friday and go into the SoN full of confidence.

See Snapper's post detailing the Son FIM Timetable, there is nothing happening on the Friday. So who were the 'people' , worried fans who heard something from someone who heard something from someone else? Or was it from the Tigers management/owners? If the latter I would worry if the former, it is just terracing gossip. And at this stage we don't even know if Tom will be in the team, albeit he is the obvious choice.

That's a bit harsh. Pickering clearly tried his guts out but on this occasion just didn't pick up the points his efforts normally achieve. Also give some credit to the Tigers riders who were immense and were unlucky not to take a bigger lead to Armadale. Just hope its enough.
