We even saved you a space today

A wee sidenote to today's meeting . Kasper Lykke is becoming a bit of a cult hero in the Charlie Monk stand . He is easily the worst gater i've ever seen , but by god the lad is entertainment . We love him

You're treading on thin ice boy

I hope you're not referring to my glamorous assistant

Funny that , we say the same thing about Sheffield

Maybe , but the signing of Lemon will add a bit of bite to the bottom end of their side ahead of their visit to the dump on Friday

When it's like it was today , it's the best sport in the world . The Charlie Monk stand was enhanced by the visiting Devils fans and we all witnessed a belter

It was today pet

Good luck Mark and a good move by the Bears

And if we get what we got today when i'm down in Plymouth on the 18th of July , i canny wait That mob along the M8 can have their record breaking side and their big home wins , give me what we enjoyed today everytime

You can do that anytime , the tractors come out to play every four races , enough time to get to the bar then

Yeah me too Dorothy , he didn't do a lot wrong for us

Absolutely no need for intervals in speedway

Awesome isn't a word you normally associate with a speedway meeting in this country , but that's what we witnessed today . Everything that is still good about our sport was on show at Ashfield today . Two evenly matched teams , a superbly prepared track and more overtaking than you could wish for in a GP , it was all there and more . Quite simply the best £16 i've spent in ages , if only we could get the people through the door to see what a great product speedway like this can be . The 6 riders on each side gave us the most entertainment you could possibly wish to see . Ok we might have scraped home 46-44 , but as i said to the Plymouth fans around me , you didn't really care who came out on top , both teams were absolutely superb . And i was actually glad Plymouth got a closing 5-1 because they deserved at least a point out of today's meeting . 12 gladiators slugging it out in the sunshine will do it for me everytime . We all get fed up with our team's being crap and the rules pissing us off and tracks being dodgy , but when you get what we got today , it restores your faith in the sport . Thank you the riders from Glasgow and Plymouth for making an old cynic very happy this afternoon .

In the bar after the best meeting I've seen for a long time . That was terrific

They'd been at the dump the night before remember , they were probably happy to have a bit of room to move

Dry and bright this morning , no weather worries . Be an entertaining afternoon in the Charlie Monk stand hopefully .

We're all suffering that way . The crowd at Glasgow last week was about the same as you described last night's attendance to be , and i cant imagine a meeting against Plymouth today will attract any more than that . Unfortunately a north/south split seems inevitable as fans cant afford to travel great distances anymore and the local meetings are the only ones that can generate a decent attendance level now .

I support Glasgow , so of course i have . The earlyish part of this GP was rubbish , as is the norm with temporary tracks . Gradually it did improve , but it wasn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination .

What has Troy Batchelor been eating

It's GP racing , some of the moves are far more desperate than what you see in normal league racing

Good riddance , this is rubbish

Time to bin these temporary tracks , it becomes a lottery

Yes it is

Depends on which twin is calling himself Steve that night
