Wasn't the Pairs , was a league match . But seems Wee George and the Somerset Chicken are well acquainted

My mate " Wee George " getting told he wasn't getting let on the National Express coach coming back from Birmingham in 2009 cause he was pissed . And convincing a , yet again , pissed Wee George that he was hallucinating when the Somerset chicken mascot hugged him . He poured his scrumpy out in the flower beds

Yep , they have memories like Elephants in Smugville and still speak of it more than 10 years after the event

He still has legendary status at Armadale for claiming he was having a heart attack to get a meeting delayed cause one of his riders ( Davy Watt i think ) was late arriving

I see . Heat 8 was the best race of the aborted meeting . There was passing and repassing between Kasper Lykke and Luke Bowen , and both of them were right on the tail of Jason Garrity . At this point the track had actually dried out pretty well and the racing was getting better , but as soon as the riders left the track after the race - down it came again as heavy as before . And that was that , much to the relief of a worried Tigers support .

What Makes The Perfect Race Track, And Why?
Paulco replied to Shale Searcher's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The perfect race happens in two weeks time . Edinburgh roll up at Ashfield boasting a 15 meeting unbeaten run , or something like that , heat 15 sees Kevin Wolbert and Rusty Harrison line up against The Blessed Cookie and The Golden Child . The scores are level at 42-42 The Grand Monarch is reffing and Cook gets away with his usual roller and gets a good lead . Kevin and Rusty are in hot pursuit while the Golden Child is doing his maths homework at the back . A draw looks the likeliest outcome until the two brave Tigers do a pincer movement over the blessed one and fly past on the back straight in the last lap , sparking much joy as we cross the line for a match winning 5-1 . Paulco orders a taxi from the track 3 hours later -
James McBain sitting in the stand instead of being ready to race ? If you use r/r then it's madness not to name a number 8 especially at home . With Anders crashing and having to withdraw then obviously Kasper would have to take his rides . Which leaves the r/r rides as a problem . Okay a number 8 might not score owt in the r/r rides , but ef's happen

Rain saved us today . Why did we not name a number 8 at home when using r/r ? If this meeting had carried on then we would have to have raced heat 10 and 12 or 14 with only one rider . That's amateur stuff from Glasgow . In answer to Fred , the track was unraceable in my opinion after the torrential shower before the start . After the delay to take Anders Thomsen to hospital , the whole time was dry and the track actually dried out pretty well . Heat 8 was as i described it in the updates , great race between three riders . After that the rain came battering down again as heavy as before the meeting and an abandonment was inevitable . Rye will be unhappy as they looked the likliest winners with Glasgow's silly decision not to have a number 8 .

Newcastle V Peterborough 11th May 2014 Premier League
Paulco replied to dantodan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not at all , going by this season's rules you could use r/r for Rosen in that eventuality -

Yeah but the r/r scored about what the Golden Child would have scored We'll need to go all out to bring this winning record to a shuddering halt at Ashy at the end of the month . Enough's enough -

Scary stuff , making a decent looking Plymouth side look very ordinary on their own midden . Smugville is going to be sair to bare this season again -
On the perhaps optimistic assumption that the weekend is going to be dry , we should be racing our KO Cup tie with Rye House on Sunday . As they seem to be the only side with a worse record for sun-offs than us , this might well be the first leg . Of course we did face the Rockets at this stage last season , but the tie was effectively over after a pumping at Hoddesdon . Two different looking sides this season , though both seem to be struggling slightly . Though successive home wins should breathe a bit of confidence into our side . They are led by the bloke with the dodgy silencers and the only two point averaged GP rider . I am confident we might just get the better of them this season and progress to meet Newcastle in the next round . Sundays teams should be ( assuming the Outer Mongolian silver helmet doesn't interfere with the line ups ) Glasgow 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 r/r for Dimitri Berge 3 Mark Lemon 4 Theo Pijper 5 Rusty Harrison 6 The amazing Anders Thomsen 7 Kasper Lykke Rye House 1 Eddie Kennett 2 Luke Bowen 3 Jason Bunyan 4 Steve Boxall 5 Matt Tresarrieu 6 Jason Garrity 7 Ben Hopwood Certainly Jason Garrity could be very troublesome at reserve , but if we can hold it to ten points or better down there , i'd be happy with that .

What you have to remember is that riders do it purely for our entertainment , so when one is sat at the pits gate asking for " any change mate " , have we , as fans , the moral fibre to say " no " ?
