Steve Shovlar Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Quite remarkable they are going up against Englands first World Cup match. Will there be a crowd or a small gathering? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they are showing the football there if people want to watch both, so don't see the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is while not everyone likes football many many speedway fans do and most will choose one or the other When even losing 10% of your crowd can make for a catastrophic night for most clubs then running against the football is financial suicide for the night, add in the fact that the match is on BSN so people can watch the speedway after the football should they decide to stay home and this seems like horrific planning albeit I can see why Glasgow wouldn’t want to rearrange giving it must be a rare Wednesday that KJP is available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeting should never have been allocated to run this day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagy1 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago The odds for a Tigers/Croatia double must be sky high. Tigers lucky to hit 30. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Glasgow being Scottish, I'd think they would be very reluctant to get this meeting rearranged, fixtures probably in place before the world cup draw took place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they all have eyes like Marty Feldman in Oxford? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Oxford meeting from terraces. Head into the main grandstand at 9pm. Watch the remaining heats, while also watching the football on the big TV screens in the upstairs bar. Stick around to watch the rest of the football match. Better watching the football in a shared environment than watching it at home by yourself.

Better watching the football in a shared environment than watching it at home by yourself. Or head to the pub. If Masters performs like he did at Belle Vue on monday, the cheetahs may struggle to win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big reason why the most successful club in the championship aren’t running tonight and are having a week off.

You can do that but how many spectators won’t bother with the speedway and just watch the football at home or in the pub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Interested to see how Kennett goes tonight, thought he looked rather good at Northside on Saturday given his long spell away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Am expecting another dust bowl and whilst I don’t care for the World Cup, there is no reason why injury’s aside, the meeting cannot be completed well with 90 mins, Frank Ebdon could have done that and you would still have time to get home if you lived within five miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the reason for all of the other Wednesday's they've not ridden? Didn't want to run against Bake Off? 😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
