Tickets for this match are sold out according to the official web site however the good news is you can still purchase a streaming pass Events | Glasgow Tigers Speedway You have to register and once you have done that proceed to purchase - costs £11.95. For an example of stream quality and all Cookie haters see pinned post on this link (2) Glasgow Tigers Speedway | Facebook Redcar are a really good team so this will be a difficult one for the Tigers and could see the end of their undefeated run. Hope I'm wrong

Your getting ahead of yourself, we don't race Redcar until Friday and that will be a difficult match particularly with your favourite rider at reserve for the Bears

Nothing like an informed comment

Glad that Rory isn't badly hurt. Thought the streaming of the match went well, good production and nice to actually hear and understand the riders interviews, doesn't always happen over speedway PAs. Craig Cook's last to first against King and Worrall was superb. Hope it gets shown on the SpeedwayGB page. For Poole, Ben Cook looks to be a good prospect. Hope the promotion are getting good numbers buying a pass. Next week another difficult one with Redcar, including former Tigers Charles Wright and James Sarjeant, being a real threat.

Nice comments by Steve Worrall in post match interview praising the track for being really smoothe

Was that race better? Last to first from Craig against Worrall and King.

"Cook has a story" who does that remind you of.....

When you've been in lockdown does make a summer

He did not bad tonight

You'll be glad you went for Scott Nichols instead of a NL junior then?

She doesnae wear stilettos

You'll need more than a couple of cooks to stir up the witches cauldron - wooden spoon beckons.

I hope you get your wish

The thing that makes it worse is that Glasgow is having its summer this week so the match won't be hampered by rain and cold unlike the Kent fixture. I reckon we would have had a bumper crowd so just hope all Poole fans follow Steve Shovlar's lead and buy a streaming pass. A bit worried by this one as they nearly beat Eastbourne despite their aussies finding it tough. I assume they'll be more at home with Ashfields sweeping bends plus their heat leaders have scored well in the past.

Sadly from reading a number of posts over the last few years on various forums, it is clear some speedway fans don't like to pay for anything that is 'televised'. They are always looking for a free service rather than pay for Sky, BT, Premier Sports, Eurosport, etc. This match was covered by the speedway updates site as are most matches. It is great when you can't get to your own track for some reason or for distant away matches. However this match was available thanks to the efforts of the Edinburgh promotion. The updater for the updates site purchased a pass to view the action and then posted detailed updates. It had 1000s of views none of which benefitted the clubs involved. Surely when a reasonably priced stream is available, fans from both teams and those with a casual interest should purchase a pass?

Official Speedway GB web site has picked a cracking heat from this match - VIDEO: KING'S LYNN v WOLVERHAMPTON - British Speedway Official Website (speedwaygb.co.uk) well worth watching.

He also posted a positive tweet prior to the wolves meeting. To much being made of his tweet last week, so he admitted to being nervous, who wouldn't be, he won his last 3 rides for goodness sake.

Don't think going to level 2 would help the speedway, although it would help lots of other venues, pubs Think the Facennas need no restrictions on the number of paying customers to make it work, although I could be wrong

Does anyone know was Paul Hurry programmed to ride in this match or was he still suffering from an allergic reaction to his Covid vaccination? Also how is Tom Bacon after his spill last Friday?

I also posted this on the Kent 2020 thread and had no response.

So that will be a no then?

Have posted this on the Glasgow v Kent thread but then thought it might be better on this one. Most of the posts I've read on this forum suggests streaming has a place in the sport even when we get back to normal particularly for away fans. Good to see that East End Fan bought a ticket but just wondering did any other Kent fans purchase a ticket to see their team's first ever match in the Championship?

Thought the streaming worked well with just a few glitches when sound was lost. Michael Max was excellent as co-presenter and it was nice to see Nigel Pearson travelling up to the track to also help. Annoyingly the weather forecast which had been accurate for most of the week got it wrong with steady light rain, then heavy rain falling in the evening at a time when it was meant to be light cloud! With the track already wet and it being the coldest May in Scotland for 40+years, the track just didn't have a chance to dry out. Remarkably the track record was broken twice during the evening. All of the Tigers had their moments with Sam Jensen being very impressive. Unfortunately Tom Bacon crashed out, hope he's ok, reducing Kent to a 5 man team using R/R and IRR which made it really difficult for them. It would be interesting to know how many people tuned in and whether streaming could become part of the new normal.

All you need to know about this is on the Tigers Facebook page Glasgow Tigers Speedway | Facebook Kent line-up as follows 1. Scott Nicholls (c), 2 Paul Hurry, 3 Paul Starke, 4 Tom Bacon, 5 Cameron Heeps, 6 Ben Morley, 7 Jake Mulford (G) Really looking forward to this and will be good to see Paul Starke back at Ashfield and of course the last time Scott Nicholls rode here he lifted the the league trophy I think it will be a home win but wonder how the riders will cope with the new tyres that they have to use this year, might make everything even more unpredictable. Can't wait.
