Why right off next Sunday ? The Monarchs might be the form side , but everybody is beatable .

Good stuff . There aren't that many people willing to do this type of thing , so good on you .

Fair points , though nobody knows who rides for who from week to week now anyway . As for the averages , it's a bit of a mess now with rolling averages , fast track averages etc , etc . In the last few seasons the Speedway Star averages bore no resemblance to the actual riders averages anyway , so the exercise of publishing them had become a bit of a irrelevence .

It's why i do it as well Devildodger . I look into to the updates whenever Glasgow are away and i cant be there , so it's only right to repay the compliment . You mentioned about just putting the result of the race , haha last year i had the announcer at Glasgow tell me not just to put " from the gate " while doing the updates . He went on " try to expand things and make the race seem exciting " . Seems when you take on the role of texter from a track , you get it in the neck from all directions at times

You make a fair point . You're trying to watch every aspect of a race , and dont forget you can have two battles going on 30 yards apart sometimes , and then trying to relate it to somebody else in a text , and usually with someone else blethering to you at the same time . It aint easy at times and it does affect your enjoyment of the meeting . And we know from arguments on here , how differently people can view incidents and other factors during a speedway race .

You cant really expect one of the management committee to know all the rules

I know you go up early , did you see the track ?

Watched it in the pub today after the speedway got cancelled . How brilliant was that

I'll bring my gang up with me You can PM me nearer the time to remind me

That's sad , another speedway great away to the pits in the sky . Rest in peace Simmo

Dont you know the rules of speedway then ?

I hope you do , i hope you batter them . Then like vultures picking on a corpse , we'll roll up at the dump on Friday to finish the job . It's both our duty for the good of Premier League speedway to end the Smug's domination . It's just a shame Ben Barker doesn't ride for you anymore And my hotel is booked for July 17th , looking forward to another visit to Foxhall . I've never seen Glasgow lose there , mind you 2011 was my only other visit so keep the bars open a wee bit longer than just after heat 15 please

Aye intae them

Since we were denied that accolade today , we wont begrudge Ipswich bursting the Edinburgh bubble

Oh please dont set them off

yes it's looking iffy

sitting in the Horseshoe at half 1 and it was battering down . Not a drop of rain since . I never saw the track , but it recovered quick after the pre meeting downpour at the Rye House meeting . Did we jump in and cancel too quick i wonder

Just been battering down for a while , hope that's the last of it . That half hour's worth will keep the dust down for those Edinburgh fans that seem to take an exception to a wee bit of dust .

No problem , see you there . You can never be sure , but i'm more confident of it being on than not .

I dont recall a nice , sunny , Sunday morning this season , and this week is no different . We've had rain overnight as the pavement was wet when i went for my newspaper . And at the moment it's overcast , with some clouds blacker than others . Forecast is for patchy light rain , which would be okayish . I'm confident we'll be fine . Horseshoe Bar at one o clockish if you're interested . That's far too sensible unfortunately

It's a tricky one . He's not ridden enough meetings to be classed as an asset yet , but he's protected while injured . If we replace him does that protection still exist ? And if he's out for the season , then what ? We dont need a repeat of the Bellego nonsense .

Didn't realise that , that will force our hand then

Good to see you giving credit to your source , Screm haha

That's the only thing that points to

We're looking at at least another 4 weeks . I think we'll have to try and sign a 28 day replacement as the burden on our reserves is too great . Kasper Lykke in particular visibly tires towards the end of meetings
