In essence you are saying Jack Smith should have been Chris Harris's partner?

Steve Worrall is ill otherwise he would have been Bomber's partner. Anders Rowe was signed to replace Steve Worrall; Anders average is lower than Steve's. So Glasgow haven't been strengthened by Anders being signed. Glasgow were not pulling a fast one or taking advantage of ambiguous rules. They replaced a rider rather than going down the route of guests - most fans hate guests. Having replaced the rider why shouldn't he then take his place in a pairs competition representing the side he has signed for? Well done to Anders and Bomber, 3rd place was more than I expected. Also hope that Charles and Scott are both OK after their 'coming together'.

For a more accurate report of what happened: Heat 6 Wood moved before tapes went up, under the rules, automatic restart all four with warning to Wood. Once tapes went up Wood then lifted and cut across/clashed with Jack who crashed entering the bend, under the rules automatic restart, rerun all four or potentially Wood excluded. The ref chose the former. Heat 8 Movement at the start, under the rules, automatic restart. Once tapes went up possibly first bend bunching (not a rule) so unsatisfactory start or Smith excluded. The ref chose the former. In the re-run Smith rightly excluded so no impact on the score.

No one knows how things would have panned out, the main issue is that Ms Horley had an absolute shocker.

Horley is a total joke

Pray tell why the Edinburgh promoter (Harkess) would line up a GP rider for another team

Maybe the bandits and Stewart Dickson will do us a favour and beat the Comets home and away

On the one hand it's great that Leon is being recognised by the UK governing body by selecting him to represent the UK at the European Pairs Championship. However, to pick a rider who has an important league fixture in the UK and whose Championship average is less than 8pts does seem a bit bizarre. I'm surprised they didn't pick Bomber and Jack Smith as well.

Apart from the rows of seats ....

And one thing you can say about most Poole fans is that they are honest and truthful.

Even more massive than that. Despite that, no doubt it will be Poole's biggest crowd of the year as they are from a PR point of view taking on last years champions.

Interesting that Celina, albeit in a 3 person race, wins heat 14 in a time quicker than Craig Cook in heat 12 and Richard Lawson in Heat 13.

Sadly he was getting passed in some races tonight.

A Costa in Glasgow who'd have thought it. We've also got a MacDonalds and Greggs.

Just a reminder you can buy tickets in advance online, saves queuing or on the night. And before anyone asks this meeting isn't being streamed.

Edinburgh fans can't help themselves, they just go on and on and .......

Perhaps we could have 2 races? One before the meeting for the toddlers and one for older kids after heat 10? And, as they can run quicker, the race won't take so long.

Just thought it was worth saying that last night's action was superb - proper speedway with all riders giving it 100% on a brilliant race track. With the medic assessing Chris after his frightening crash they sensibly brought forward the kids race and it was great to see so many youngsters take part. Maybe they could do that more often and I mean bring the kids race foward not Bomber crash! Special mention to Jack Smith promoted to the difficult no.2 position and young reserve James Pearson who would have had paid 10 but for a bike failure. Loved every minute of it.

For any Scunthorpe fan thinking of travelling to Glasgow, the good news is that summer has arrived in the city. This means its overcast, warm and clammy with sunny periods forecast to appear late afternoon. Think it would be a good time to visit as Tigers will be at their weakest, similar to when Scunthorpe hammered us a few years ago. We're having to hope that Jack Smith keeps up his good home form and that young James Pearson will once again impress. The question we're all asking is will Matic be the new Vadim or even Marcin or will he be an another Alexander Conda (remember him). its been that long might need a sat nav to find the track

When will Tatum mention that Ivacic has signed for Glasgow?

How dare you use facts and figures to prove that Kye is doing ok when others think he isn't - Blobby, Blobby, Blobby.

I'm enjoying it

Perhaps some of the Leicester riders are playing it 'safe' knowing Dickson's not scared to make changes. Why risk getting injured when you're not happy, there's no chance of winning, there's no team spirit and when you might lose your job thanks to your manager's attitude. Keep your average down and if sacked another team will sign you based on your 'potential'. It would also help get you a place next year.

How bloody arrogant and pompous. Let's go back to the good old days when 100 (older) people sat in a dilapidated stand and politely clapped. There are very few 'speedway' fans left. The days of visiting different tracks on a weekly basis and discussing the 'quality' of the racing and having a bevvy is long gone. But even back then you got disagreements and fans shouting at riders and referees. It was normal when there were big crowds. Look at some old videos of 'brilliant meetings' and you soon discover the racing was very average but the atmosphere was tremendous and the results sometimes unbelievable. The only way to increase crowds is to once again make it exciting, memorable and relevant and get people to buy into supporting a team. If that means booing the 'pantomime ' villain (Jack Millen anybody? ) then why not. It builds up atmosphere and gets kids to feel part of a 'team' and they then want to go again and bring their pals. Just go along and watch Glasgow Warriors rugby team who have steadily built up a strong and loyal following with lots of kids and guess what the players meet the fans after the match, pose for selfies, give autographs and every kid is wearing warriors tops, scarves, hats etc. Sound familiar?

So trying 'something' gets him brownie points? Whatever he tried he should have ensured Hagon was in heat 14. And just a reminder Etheridge was at no.5 thanks to the team manager.
