Pity you hadn't bothered to check Lambert's performance at the Dale a month ago (14 + 1 from 6) before making your facile comment.

 

Don’t bank on it again. Must have been a one off. Pity he can’t do it for Scunny. As forever blue said ,that was the reserve position.

Whether Wood is better than Perry at Armadale is irrelevant as he won't cope with Grahn or the improving Loftus . 

After watching Hook virtually wave Palovaara through in heat 1 of our last visit there , the guest situation is a major worry for us . What these riders scored before there this season is no guarantee they'll do that as a guest . I can only assume we were forced into riding this fixture on a date when three of our riders were missing. 

 Both clubs agreed the dates without anyone else having to get involved. 
 

Even with the guests Glasgow have too much fire power over the two legs for us to cause any real problems.

without pointing fingers or blaming anyone jn particular british speedway as a whole should hang their heads in shame that this fixture should be going ahead with two riders elsewhere 

an absolute joke, guests are a cancer of our sport 

if this is the best they can do then decide the title by league position 

[SaddlebowRoad]

and as if by magic one of the people who is a massive part of the problem (head in sand) comes along with a laughing reaction 

those who run sponsor and are involved just cant see the damage thats being done 

to still be running semi finals of all three  competitions in mid september is gross negligence

But the league positions were decided by teams using guests too?

I'm not a fan of play-offs, but that's nothing to do with the guest situation.

guests for injuries are a necessary evil although r/r should be compulsory if its not your number 1 or a reserve 

but to schedule a plum semi final on a night when riders are in a different country is utterly ridiculous

its deeply worrying how some people just accept guests when they should only be used when absolutely necessary

But. There is no other way of running the sport....

How's the weather in the east? 

In the west It's been chucking down all night and showery again this morning. 

Is our rain dance working?

Weather is fine dry and breezy, might get one or two small light showers this afternoon but won’t cause any bother. 
 

Rain dance not working today. 😀

I hate that we are going into one of the major meetings in our season with 3 guests, one is necessary because of an injury to Max Perry but to have two of our riders missing because of international duty is crazy.  I want to see my 7 riders no offence to the guests but you never know what you are going to get.  If we lose a meeting and it is our 7 riders then we all accept that but 4 riders and three guests is too much of a gamble.

Will it be restaged. Really hope not as another Friday becomes unusable.

Just the quali at the moment to protect the track surface, actual meeting still going ahead later today.
