There is a limited number of seats at Ashfield, with high demand every week, so they charge a premium for a seat. There is also a cost involved in putting a temporary stand on the third bend. Plenty of stadiums charge for parking but there's plenty of on street parking in the area. Just don't park on the pavement or you risk a £100 fixed penalty and be respective of residents access.

I agree it's a joke that the early season BSN series is going to be the final Championship meeting of the season. There's reserved dates in the fixture list so all it requires is it's put in the regs that you have to complete the round before the next round is schedules or forfeit the match. Then the BSN series and KO Cup could be done before September. As for playoff semifinal I'm think most Glasgow fans would have be more upset about losing to Edinburgh rather than losing because of guests.

Was it Glasgow's fault that the meeting was staged on the same night as SGP2 in which 2 of their riders were racing? Guests are an accepted part of the sport. No matter who is representing your team you support your team. No doubt next year it will be a different group of riders. The track was un-raceable that evening. Had it not been a playoff, with pressure to get it run, it would have been called off

20 years ago they were only building the Redcar track, it opened in 2006. It was very good until about 3 years ago when there was a following out with the track curator. A rider at the time described the replacement as a farmer with a tractor who didn't know what he was doing. Not saying it's the same guy now but you would think that someone would know given the amount of recent rain the moisture would come out of the base. Maybe they took advise from Phil Morris.

Poole vs Glasgow KOC SF 1st leg 27/08/25
gmarsbar2 replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So do Poole put their prices up for Glasgow meetings? It was £13.99 on Wednesday. Pity Poole didn't have a camera to show what actually happened in heat 14. It showed what happened in heat 10 but the ref took the easy option. Glasgow did stream during Covid but the used an outside production company that were doing a lot of the Scottish football clubs streaming services. That was very expensive for them so they haven't done it since. It would be great if Glasgow did stream, then a lot more people would see the fantastic racing there, rather than the hundreds that attend meetings. No contest, best track in the UK. And I could see the meetings when I'm unable to attend Tapes Up have covered a few meetings over recent years maybe if enough Poole fans contact Glasgow about streaming KO Cup meeting then it will be. -

Well it was on Saturday. All the shale must have blown off the track -
Is there a new rule that if you are 6 down and used your tactical sub you can pick your own gates? Because the Redcar pair went of the wrong gates in heat 10. What was the ref thinking? Why did Glasgow not object?

Berwick ‘buy a brick’ Bandits 2025
gmarsbar2 replied to emilali's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Jeppesen rides for Esbjerg in Denmark but that won't effect Berwick as they've already raced at Oxford & Poole. He doesn't have a team place in Poland and he's too old to get called up by Denmark for any of these under age meetings -

You suggest the Cook signing has been a disaster but when he's actually ridden he's done a good job. It seems like he's been ill a lot but per BSPL stats he's only missed 2 meetings. When he's missing you should have a good choice of guests, given his average and there's only ever one other meeting. Basically any rider except the majority of other clubs number ones. Glasgow or Edinburgh riders the obvious choice if at home on a Friday night. -
But apparently 11 make a Championship season - 2 BSN, 1 cup & 8 league matches. That will be why riders have to double up and fans don't know when the next meeting is as there's large gaps in the racing calendar.

Glasgow Tigers Vs Poole Pirates 6/6/25
gmarsbar2 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Why wasn't he riding? Hasn't he just signed for his Polish team? The Glasgow fixtures was in his schedule since the fixtures came out. UK used to get priority unless it was a rearranged fixture, if rider wasn't contracted at the start of the season. Does Poland always get priority now? -
Oxford vs Glasgow - Championship - 4/6
gmarsbar2 replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Don't understand why Oxford didn't just operate R/R at 2 when they had 2 in form reserves. Cost Oxford the metting. Zach Cook was very poor, don't know what's happened to him this year, hopefully he shows the same form on Friday night. -
Yes, Drew Kemp certainly helped last time and there's no chance of the other six all clicking as Matt Marson is riding.
