Love this , almost as smug as " you know who "

Anders Thomsen could be the key to us having any chance of a point , his recent away form has been outstanding

Spot on Shadders . I quoted the two above posts cause there's nothing more annoying than the high and mighty mob who have a go when , god forbid , we complain about the dross we're expected to pay our good money to support . You had it off Somerset , we had it off the Smugs and it aint nice . Watching Glasgow v Rye last Sunday , it looked two very mediocre sides , but some take umbridge when we get fed up .

Yep , look at the money you'll save

Well we'll see , and yes his gating is still shocking . Apart from Kasper , we need one or two of our more experienced men to up their game on Saturday for us to get anything out of this . How they react to the expected battering at Somerset ,the night before , could be an issue .

They only trundle round though George . At Glasgow they throw the bike into the bends and do practice starts . One time Andrew Tully's throttle jammed on a parade lap and he clattered into the fence at speed . Helmets defo necessary when it's like that

He scored big points from reserve on occasion

Michel Rajkowski , Stan Burza , Jacek and Marcin Remplala , Michal Mroz , Adam Pietrasko , Piotr Dym , Tomas Piscz

Hope Anders reproduces what he did last week and Kasper gives us something from reserve .

Workington as well

That was my thinking . The doubling up has spiralled out of control and the season is a mess . One league puts an end to that nonsense

Or one league of 16 or 18 teams

Maybe

Yeah sorry about the quoting , had one eye on the speedway on the telly when i was deleting the last piece of your post which wasn't about the gates . And i deleted too much and never noticed

Strange . There was a big queue when i came out of the Ashfield Bar at 4-30 , but went up to the other gate which was open

Is there a prize money structure for the Premier League ? Seems to be anybody winning it almost bankrupts itself in the process . Where does the money go that the BSPA draws in through big meetings like the ELRC and it's Premier equivalent ? We must be the only sport that penalises success .

Aye well , speedway is full of what ifs

Think both sides just wanted an extra bit of time after the meeting at Rye House the previous evening

I think after yesterday we should bin those long , drawn out parades at the start of the meeting . Disrespectful or not , and i know Rye House received an official warning ( whatever that means ) , but the Rye House riders had obviously just about lost the will to live as the thing dragged on and on . We then had the farcical sight of Rye House riders doing their practice laps while the Glasgow team is being introduced to the crowd . We actually found that pretty amusing though . Do what they do at Edinburgh , riders come out on their bikes two at a time , get introduced and wave to the crowd and the whole thing is over in 5 minutes and then the racing commences . Standing about bored for 20 minutes while the riders get introduced to a load of pensioners in the main stand doesn't bring a lot to the afternoon's entertainment .

It was dry and dusty the opening four heats , once the watering started it wasn't too bad

Shame Mr and Mrs Rempala never had another 3 weans

Looked very good at Glasgow today . Gated well , won heat 2 comfortably against Jason Bunyan , definitely would do a job in the PL

Ipswich are racing Friday and Saturday too , but only need to come up from Workington . A 5 o clock start time next weekend would make sense too , if Ipswich agree , but you can understand if they don't .

Seems to be carnage there tonight

Quite an enjoyable afternoon . Wolbert at last looked like a proper number 1 today , unlucky when he shed a chain challenging Boxall during heat 10 , but was superb in his 4 race wins . Great back up from Rusty and Theo . Mediocre meeting from Anders , but he still produced a vital win in heat 12 when needed . Christian was steady and i was impressed by Tom Perry . Good gater and not off the pace in any of his races . Boxall was the best of the Rockets , Kennett and Bunyan worked hard for their points , Garrity was average and the other three were poor . Nice to win a cup tie for a change , gets much harder now though
