Glasgow 2025

[TigerIain]

Did only Glasgow and Edinburgh sign up to race this year?? Assuming no rain offs this weekend that will be 6 of Glasgow's first 10 meetings against Edinburgh. And its 6 times before the first change of averages. And then half the rest were against Berwick! (So that possibly makes 6 appearances for Drew Kemp in those 10 meetings)

I get that there are less teams about these days but it would be good to get a bit of variety in so we are seeing too keep interest levels up. All well and good having derby matches but not every time

And only two of the six meetings staged at Ashfield have been on Fridays, a really weird start to the season and not one to establish a regular speedway going habit among newbies ... Or indeed regulars.

But what happens if the Champ goes 2H & 2A like many want? With 4 Friday clubs, there wouldn't be regular Friday's even with more matches!

Of course one answer is to run a NL/NT team on blank Fridays.

You could expect 8 home matches in 11 weeks, which is better than we have now (3 Fridays out of 9).

Think he'll have a team place tomorrow. Everyone knows there's a talent in there. Plymouth once klindt gets an average? Scunny if Lambert has another bad meeting, next injury the average fits either way he will get a place unless he steps back imo

Think he may be on a ban having refused to ride.
