Very true

Think the riders might object to the loss of a payday though

All action , but what really comes across is when other riders are interviewed after racing against him is the fact he always leaves the other rider racing room . Likewise he complemented Joe Screen and James Grieves during a centre green interview at Glasgow after one of the races of the season there last year , between the three of them . Will be a sad day when Stuart eventually calls it a day , he's one of the visiting riders everyone likes to see come to their track , and a gentleman of the sport

I don't see what the big deal is . At the ice hockey during the winter they play the national anthem ( okay different to yours ) before every match . Everybody stands up for a minute or two and then sits down again without any fuss .

I've seen it happen when the referee just runs out of patience . A Workington v Glasgow meeting in 2005 , the ref put both Carl Stonehewer and Shane Parker back 15 metres after the pair took an age to settle at the tapes . Seems the referee is the only person who can really put a stop to all this nonsense

Agreed . Surely when Berwick are up on League business it would make sense to run this meaningless meeting alongside it as a double header . I think the Friday night thing was quashed by the BSPA before we actually got round to purchasing the floodlights .

How many times lol . Easy home win with only Simon Stead offering any resistance

Not on a Sunday though

The rain is more likely to kill off speedway than the usual complification of the rules on a yearly basis . Out of the 10 home meetings Glasgow should have had by now , 4 have been rained off , including the last two , and one curtailed . And especially having a Sunday afternoon raceday , folk will just get sick of the constant postponements and find something else to do on a Sunday .

Merely trying to sign out of work riders , regardless of who they have ridden for in the past

Deary me . We've been through this on another thread . June 6th Edinburgh v Sheffield LEAGUE CUP semi final first leg

In what way pray tell ?

one thing is for sure , i'm sick of getting to the pub and the dreaded text arriving shortly after . My liver canny stand too many more rain offs

nah you certainly dont qualify as a boy

Or concerned fans voicing their displeasure at as poor a performance as i can remember . Suppose it's a fine line .

We've stayed at a Premier Inn before which was only 5 minutes walk from the track , through a supermarket car park

Pretty sure Kauko would score more than the fives and sixes the current number one weighs in with

Trouble is , there isn't the number ones out there who aren't riding in Poland most Sundays . The only one that springs to mind is Kauko Nieminen

Despite the attempts by one of our friends from the east ,using Lemon's exit and the circumstances behind it , as a stick to beat us with . It was obvious the current Glasgow side wasn't good enough and wasn't working . Everybody accepted change had to be made . Lemon became the most vulnerable as soon as Christian Henry himself became a victim of the numbers game at Newcastle , plus the Australian team manager's role could mean some missing meetings come World Cup time . So it's welcome back for a third spell in the stripes for Christian Henry , and goodbye and good luck to Mark Lemon . Whether that is the last change remains to be seen

I don't suppose we'll ever know the full details , but the rumours that were sweeping the Armadale terraces on Friday night will not have went unnoticed by the riders , so the whiff of change was there and Lemon must have known he was one of the more vulnerable ones to be a victim of that change .

Well we don't know all the details , so we're just speculating . How do you know that Mark wasn't told last night and it was all amicable and he was asked for his opinion .

Speedway promoters seem to possess the brass neck unheard of in other sports . It's not the first time we've heard of a rider completing a meeting for his club , then sacked

Along with death and taxes , rain on a Sunday is rapidly joining the only certainties in life . I'm getting pretty sick of it Mind you , got the taxi up from the Horseshoe and got there about 2 , loads of folk hanging about and the gates weren't open . I said to Willie , sod this i'm not paying to get in yet , lets go into the Ashfield Bar for a pint and wait a while . Once we heard it was off , we finished our pints and went in for a look - track was like porridge .

She toys with us , she gets her kicks that way . So it looks like today's teams are Glasgow 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 r/r for Theo Pijper 3 Mark Lemon © 4 Anders Thomsen 5 Mason Campton (guest) 6 Kasper Lykke 7 Andre Compton (guest) Scunthorpe 1 Nicolai Klindt 2 Josh Auty 3 David Howe 4 Ashley Birks © 5 Ryan Douglas 6 Matt Williamson 7 Thomas Jorgensen

It is a difficult one . Berge , we are told , will be back at some point . He actually drops to reserve today . But we are beginning to worry that it's going to be long term and he was the shining light of our season before he got hurt . As for the rest . Anders Thomsen cant be faulted . The lad is riding out his skin , ok maybe he tries a wee bit too hard at times , but you canny criticise the lad for that . We'll see how he does out of the reserve position . Kasper Lykke also cant be faulted . Fair enough he cant gate for toffee , but he tries his heart out in every race . Now it gets more murkier . Theo Pijper is fine at home when he gates , more often than not he's ineffective when he doesn't . 5/10 for his performances so far . Rusty Harrison has in the main done his job , apart from the last home match against Workington . The headache excuse for Friday's absence , hot on the heels of the disappointing return against Workington , got the rumour mill working overtime on Friday . Mark Lemon is 41 and obviously not the force he once was , he's scoring the fives and sixes which is basically all we can expect . Kevin Wolbert is the main disappointment . We know how good a rider he is , we've seen it in the past round Armadale and Ashfield when he was a Monarch What we have witnessed this season isn't even close to what he was just a couple of seasons ago . Mark Lemon scoring 5 and 6 is one thing , Wolbert scoring the same is quite another . We've heard all the excuses about engines etc , we've had enough . A number one scoring 5 and 6 isn't going to win his team many meetings . Our bottom end is improving and exciting . The four experienced riders at the top aren't raising their game adequately enough ,and in Wolbert's case not at all . Regardless what changes are made , nobody among the Tigers faithful would lose any sleep if any of the top 4 are replaced .
