Agreed, it's not about what I like or you like or any other supporter likes. What songs are appropriate for a live motorsport event?

There must have been around 50 songs played on Friday and you didn't like any of them... what do you want to hear? I wasn't at Berwick last night, if you were, how was the music there?

I should have put a wee 😁 after my disco comment... and I don't disagree regarding the presentation, whether that's the announcer or centre-green, both could doubtless be improved. The music is only a small part of the night's entertainment overall, but the question of what is played as opposed to what 'could/should' be played was raised on social media last season and got a lot of comments but hardly anything specific. Conversely, it seems that the darts itself is only a small part of that night's entertainment, with most people seemingly only there to get tanked up with the 'sport' happening in the background.

If I never hear 'lively Leon Flint' again it'll be too soon... see also written references to 'gritty', 'sensational', 'battling' or 'mouth-watering'. As for the music, I don't mind it, other than the awful 'We're the Glasgow Tigers' but at least they've stopped playing Europe! What would you suggest, since you don't like 80s discos, gay or otherwise?

Correct, it was by a hundredth 😀

In your opinion, which will probably be shared by others, but the technology dragging the sport kicking and screaming into the 21st century says otherwise.

According to the transponders, Flint beat Etheridge by one-hundredth of a second 🏁

Agree re lack of interaction by any race winners, not just the Pirates on Friday. Rick Astley's first hit wasn't until 1987 but the point is still valid. It was an 80s playlist after 6pm but at least there was no Bert Kampfaert, Dean Martin or the dire 'We're the Glasgow Tigers'...

Just for the statisticians / record keepers amongst us, the time for Heat 15 (missing from the referee's report & Speedway Star) was 59.13s

Automated starts this year, the ref just presses the green light & the tapes are released after a random delay

Kelvin not doing his homework... Jan Kvech rode at Glasgow in 2018 for the Czech Republic in the World U21 Team semi-final

1: 58.78 2: 59.79 3: 59.68 4: 59.51 5: 59.83 6: 60.89

Good effort with the times, but have corrected them to 2 decimal places as we have the technology

It was 19 thousandths
