I replied to different posts, trust you're capable of understanding that or if you're still confused ask your mum for help.  Run along now.

I wouldn’t even entertain them mate. Ignore them.

If you’re a neutral and that’s your first meeting, you’re never coming back. End of.

Well... after heat 12 you can't blame the track, they just shouldn't be this bad.

Based on what - so you're saying if a track is crap then after a few heats - as if by magic - it suddenly becomes a great track.  Yeah great logic.

No, I'm saying the track is the same for both teams, as a neutral I've seen better and I've seen worse, if you're blaming the track for the Tigers performance you're way off the mark my friend.

Exactly.  One of the worst prepared tracks I've ever seen.  An absolute disgrace.

Today it’s just a gater's track.  It's exactly the type of track Gerry Facenna said is killing speedway.  Just set it up for the home team to win rather than proper racing.

Doctor we’ve found one these Glasgow Facenna best track in world speedway, must mention the Glasgow track at all opportunities, believe everything they say brainwashed people.

You're missing the point.  As Gerry Facenna rightly pointed out some teams set up their track for massive home advantage to ensure a home win at the expense of any racing - and its' killing speedway as a spectacle as proven by falling attendances, whereas at Ashfield they adopt the reverse logic by having a fair track that both teams can actually race on and its a fair contest.  That's the difference.

Do you get paid every time you say the name Gerry Facenna?

If you believe that you’ll be believe anything which it seems you do. Glasgow like every other track in the country set their track up to win.

Can you stop mentioning him now please.

There's no better sight than Chris Harris scraping the airfence to make a pass, at any track, but instead today we've seen the Workington riders making passes inside and out, quite a decent entertaining meeting.  Well done Workington, good team effort.

No quite a stuffing, it seems Glasgow lost heavily but the track is to blame, apparently Glasgow are a top speedway team but none of their riders can gate!

Almost like Worky have researched where Glasgow struggle and why! ;)
