I dont see what all the fuss is about . I don't see too much difference between Kennett , Barker or Bridger . All average EL riders not good enough at World level . So it didn't really matter which one was picked . The inclusion of the blessed Cookie is to be welcomed , with the hope that he can take the step up a level or two .

Argument raging on the Glasgow FB page last night about how much we'll have to pay to get in next week with our rain off tickets . Nobody seems exactly sure , so surely one of the BSF know-alls will be able to tell us .

What's the script with the Green sheets mate . Does the Golden Child stay at reserve or does Tobacco Joe return there , or even Desperate Deek dropping down ?

Last night's win at Workington was a bit of a shock , but shows the quality Ipswich have . I fear another long , disappointing afternoon .

Who says that will happen ? The last public flogging we got in the League Cup at Ashfield was administered in front of a decent sized crowd despite some silly football match going on elsewhere . I cant see the Wimbledon final , with or without Andy Murray , impacting too much . People going on holiday to Turkey , namely me , will have more of an affect on the size of the crowd that day

No , i'm a sensitive soul

Thanks for the explanation Mr Blobby Pity some aren't quite so friendly

So what was the strop on the Chatzone all about when the Golden Child got excluded by the " Weegie " ref ?

Considering Ipswich are at Workington on Saturday night , i think it's safe to assume he'll be staying up north

Reality has obviously kicked in . My brother got a wee bit overexcited about nearly beating an understrength mid table outfit .

There's not much to chose between the two , both are perfectly adequate . There is far worse in the PL than both of those

Sunday May 5th . That was the last time we had a setback in our quest for that coveted speedway trophy , the wooden spoon . That day we , somehow , beat title contenders Newcastle . But since then we have got our spoon quest back on track with a long line of defeats . This week's recipients of away points are the Ipswich Witches led by Ben Barker , Rohan Tungate and Leigh Lanham . The last time Tungate was up here , he ended up in hospital with an injury in an embarrassing place , this time things should have a more favourable ending . Glasgow continue to stumble along in glorious mediocrity , and it's hard to see us seriously troubling the Witches in what is surely a crucial away fixture in their play-off quest . We're having an armed forces day at Glasgow this Sunday , so maybe a couple of carefully aimed scud missiles into the Ipswich side of the pits might give us a fighting chance

Really disappointing . Cant see anything other than the wooden spoon for us this season .

I'm quite sure a tennis final or even the final round of the British Open golf ( which regularly clashes with the speedway too ) isn't a major consideration when compiling fixtures . There's also the British F1 GP clashing with this Sunday's meeting , plus the Eastenders omnibus on a Sunday . Seems the only reasonable course of action is to switch to a Friday night at Glasgow , to avoid all these sporting clashes .

I think Cyclone means some of his least favourite Scottish people coming over from the west posing as Lions fans As if we'd do such a thing

Only a sense of glee Personally i walk around with a semi when that happens

Says the guy who interacts with Mr Blobby

Aye Workington were good that day

Just about sums the meeting up , it wasn't great . Our gating was terrible today , perfectly summed up in heat 15 when Bellego and Lawson got to the 1st bend about 4 bike lengths ahead of us . I honestly cant see where the next win is coming from . Yes Berwick deserved it , but no disrespect to them , they're no better than a mid table outfit . The top teams would have slaughtered us today

No , it's r/r for Kozza

There's no better rider in the Premier League round Ashfield than the Son of God . Him for Kennett is a huge plus , however the loss of Barrett more than offsets that - he is pretty much irreplaceable at reserve . Lewis Blackbird had a very good meeting when Scunthorpe were up and would be the best option if available . Don't think it's to be constant rain today , what we have now is showers and longer periods of brightness . I think that will be what we will get all day - it all depends on the length and severity of those showers .

Certainly no danger of that . Pretty overcast in the Glasgow area this morning , though it is dry now after heavy overnight rain . Forecast isn't too clear , but i'm hopeful

I was hoping for Compton at 4 , his experience could be vital in a heat 14 of a tight meeting

He's competative when he gates , forget about him when he doesn't . His away form was pretty awful . He looked a lot quicker that day he crashed against Workington , but i'm really not sure that he'll be back or not .

All i know is that it's for family reasons
