Do you really think Leon would only score 5 again?

The excuse would be that BRFC were playing so no access to the track. I thought it was patchy on bend 3 early doors, whether that got fixed by the constant track grades, or the riders just simply tried to avoid it once they knew where it was.

Trigger in for Smith please. Shocking from Smith last night, I did fear Jeppesen might not take to Shielfield, he looked to be getting better as the meeting went on, hopefully the poor track hasn’t put him off. Special mention to Max Perry, he rides Shielfield very well for a two pointer and has been the ‘match winner’ twice this season. Great move by Howarth in the super heat to win it, but it felt inevitable.

But on nights like tonight where we can’t get a guest, he’s better than R/R. Plus I’d much rather have 7 of my own riders, that’s the whole idea of team speedway.

We can’t…

Tobias Thomsen for Klindt? You’d prefer RR with Nicholls, Barker, Joe T and Fredriksen/Bowtell surely? Guests make a mockery of this sport.

Congratulations again to the promotion… twice in a week. Shame he couldn’t be in for this weekend, but good news nonetheless. Thank god CC111 has been shown the door. Hopefully that was his last chance in speedway.

R/R makes Poole stronger, don’t know what Shov is on about.

It’s not really agree to disagree. You said the events are for Polish TV, he’s pointed out they’re not even on Polish TV…

Mulford’s riding in France isn’t he?

A full team? Are all the riders riding in France on Saturday not missing?

Flint did he not want to ride for Glasgow this weekend? Dan Thompson did he not want to ride for Glasgow this weekend? Nagel did he not want to ride for Glasgow this weekend? Mulford did he not want to ride for Redcar this weekend? Knudsen did he not want to ride for Oxford this weekend? They all had a choice to make, and there’s no correct one, as the majority of these riders are missing two league meetings for this tinpot competition, but I’m sure are privileged to ride for their country.

What was said?

You might get one of them back

There we go, well done to the promotion. I’m happy to hold my hands up and give credit, as I was one of the first to criticise. A good signing on paper, hopefully he can adapt to the tracks.

Landshut

Flint missed the Glasgow meeting to be a reserve in a European Pairs meeting on the Saturday, where he didn’t even get a ride. If I was a Glasgow fan I wouldn’t be happy with that at all.

A young dane, a young swede, Adam Bubba Bednar, Pollestad, Grmek, a pole not getting a ride for his team, Kyle Newman, Claus Vissing, Adam Ellis, Jonas Jeppesen, Nick Morris, David Bellego, Keynan Rew, Norick Blodorn, Dan Gilkes, Aaron Summers, Dany Gappmaier I’m going to stop now, but don’t say who, as if there’s no riders that would ride. The majority of them probably wouldn’t, but some would, and that’s the point. We’re stuck with Mr Unreliable at 1 when we’re already down to 6 riders, with plenty points in hand, it’s not good enough. This club is making money.

Shambles. SIGN REPLACEMENTS.

Quite worrying that it’s been two weeks and we’ve not signed a replacement, meanwhile Plymouth have made a great move to strengthen after their rider got injured within 3/4 days. In the words of Victor “he who hingeth aboot getteth hee haw”

Well we’ll also have Danyon and our useless number 1 missing too, plus Jenkins is listed in the GB team who is injured… Kemp could easily be brought in for that, unless he’s picked Berwick over GB.

Worrying that Glasgow and Berwick haven’t called their double header off next weekend yet.

My qualm about Cookie when he was announced was his off track problems, they have proved to be correct, I don’t know how anyone can defend it or stick by him. He has let the club, the fans, and his teammates down, again.

Putting a lot of pressure on Wood and Smith on Saturday.

Hi GladiatorPhil, do you want to apologise to Chef1 for daring to suggest Scott Nicholls? You looked like a sausage then, and you look an even bigger one now. Any congratulations to the Plymouth promotion for strengthening the team significantly? Oh, and you kept saying Matej Zagar rides in Poland at the weekend and Saturday is part of the weekend so it was a stupid suggestion. I’ll remind you, he rides in the same league as Nicolai Klindt, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him.
