Glasgow v Edinburgh KO cup second leg

[Weeyin]

Monarchs have an 8 point lead , but they are without Grahn at reserve but have Jacb hook who did well at Glasgow last week with Workington, Will they have Victor or a guest? Will Glasgow have a full team, seems to be a rare thing for Glasgow at the moment. It is doable for the tiggers to go through, they did win 50-40 in the bsn series, it should be a cracking meeting regardless as the Monarchs can ride Ashfield as well as the tiggers, but they haven't came against our Danish rocket, Villads Nagel who rides similar to Ben Basso, without fear.

Glasgow are at full strength, Jason Edwards for Victor and Hook for Grahn. 
 

Makes us weaker, even at full strength we’d probably struggle to hold on to our 8 point lead anyway. 
 

Annoying as we’ve waited two and a half months for the west side of the M8 to eventually decide to run it.

So is Howarth ok to ride tomorrow having missed last nights match at Leicester? I know he wasn't injured or ill so was just wondering what the rule is on that.

Why did he miss it then ? Everybody else gets 7 day ban.

What’s the story with Victor?

7 day ban as he missed the Oxford meeting at Kings Lynn last week due to illness.

So should a rider be ill in future then they should cite a (much easier to fabricate) ‘family emergency’ - not suggesting for a minute this is what KH has done btw. This rule needs looked at.

This was exactly what I was thinking and why I asked the question. And I was also not suggesting that Kyle has done this in any way.

Would agree seems a strange rule that can be manipulated.

Think it’s great that they want fans to turn up and watch it at the Stadium considering the effort they have put into the Stadium and Facilities.

Probably but I couldn’t be sure as my ST gives me access for when I’m not able to make it in person. Big revenue stream being missed out on at Glasgow IMO. Even if it was only against less local teams. You’ll get a decent number of Poole/Oxford/Plymouth fans tuning in.

I said this when Jack Holder had a family emergency and was criticised for it when I said he should get a ban (Craig Cook was serving a ban at the time).

Others said the same thing in that you could be ill and say there is a family emergency.
