It's the main reason i go and when the helmets and gloves come off and two players are thumping each other , the crowd loves it . Braehead v Fife is a real hate match and it's no co-incidence the last time they played at Braehead it was a 3,600 sell out at the Arena . Back to Richard Hall , okay maybe he should have helped Auty to his feet before thumping him , but heat of the moment makes us all act irrationally .

I wasn't there , maybe Auty deserved it . Not the first time Auty's exuberance has ended in tears

Why ? That's quality stuff from Hall . We need more of that in speedway , nothing gets the crowd going more than a known villian thumping somebody . Might get the fans back through the turnstiles if they thought they might get a bit of contraversy . Newport v Glasgow the night before Cardiff used to be packed to the rafters and i'll bet a good percentage of the crowd only went because they knew something contraversial usually happened in that fixture .

Unless you're a top rider blessed with divine ability , like a Shane Parker , not many number ones lower themself to try and shephard home a team mate of much lesser ability .

Darcy is just misunderstood , he's not thick and he never had sex with that woman . Robert Lambert however is a modern day Oswald Mosley and should be punished under the treason act .

Two meetings then

But they live in their own micro climate dont forget

Good early call off , saves people hanging on . The rain is torrential and is showing no signs of stopping

Surprised at Jensen , he was supposed to be the trump card at reserve for Berwick

Welcome to my world lol

Hopefully catch up with you and your mates on the back straight tomorrow , but you're right the forecast isn't hopeful

you're probably right , the Comets look the part . But the rain has to stop before anything can happen

Not yet , we're using the hospitality cabin on the fourth bend at the moment . But surely by August we'll have something better

yes it does

Well keep me informed , do you still have my mobile number ?

i wouldn't read too much into that result either George . By all accounts the track was weather affected and it was more the Bandits being minging than the Monarchs being good . Samantha Fox had no last places which pretty much proves that . Hoping last week was just a bit of a rider having a slow start to the season , he'll have to be more on it this week as it's an official home meeting now

A real toughie for us this Sunday as we entertain the Comets . They look an outstanding side and are justifiably looked upon as favourites for this season's title . But that's not to say we cant beat them on Sunday , but our gating will have to be raised a notch or two from last weekend . Comets have three returning ex-Tigers in Josh Grajczonek , Mason Campton and Chris Mills plus our favourite guest at the dump , Ricky Wells . No idea the riding order the Comets will use , as we dont know who's riding for who one week to the next these days , but we should be along the same lines as last week . The Red Alert newsletter wasn't forthcoming with team make ups .

But by god it was cold there brrrrrr

Seems to be a touch of the Henning Bagers about Ales Dryml . Scores about 5 whether it's EL or PL

Whatever happened to Eric Carrillo ? Out of his depth at Wolverhampton , came to Glasgow and showed a modicum of potential at that level . But at the end of the 2004 season he disappeared never to be heard of again .

Edinburgh will provide a sterner test than Redcar , but the Bandits look a solid unit and i expect them to come out on top . The size of the victory depends pretty much on Edinburgh's reserves . Steve Worrall was outstanding home and away against Glasgow , his form will determine how close Edinburgh push Berwick

God himself , Steve Lawson . He was Glasgow Tigers from 1978 till 1992 . Probably never see such loyalty ever again in speedway

Not got it yet , the cheque's in the post . So the bar getting drunk dry will have to wait till next Sunday

It's pretty obvious the doubling up thing has now spiralled out of control . It really has to be looked at again because from one week to the next we dont know who's going to be riding for who .

Disappointed but not downhearted . True it's never nice to be defeated by ones so smug , but there was enough to give us heart for the rest of the season . Rusty was superb , the way he flew round the team riding Golden Child and whoever his partner was , was really special . Pijper and Lemon were steady and Agent Wolbert wont have to ride against his paymasters every week . Dimitri Berge got better as the meeting progressed and the signs are he'll do alright once he settles into Premier League racing . The two reserves are giving us the most encouragement though , and as neither can gate for toffee we are in for some exciting moments from them both . As for the Smug septet , well they flluked the win thanks mainly to the lesser Worrall and the annointed one . Steve Worrall's brother was obviously sneaked into his kevlars while nobody was looking and St Craig serenely breezed to an effortless maximum . Much sterner tests are to come in the coming weeks and we will have to up a level among a couple of our ranks , but i think we'll be a mid table side at least .
