Glasgow Tigers v Oxford Cheetahs 3rd July

[Bandit59]

Pity it wasn't raining heavily at Redcar 😂

We would have hit 60 even without Freddy getting a point had the rain not intervened. Killeen at 5 is interesting.

Track held up well and some good racing until the heavens opened.

Masters apart Oxford were woeful, for Glasgow  everyone chipped in apart from Hodder who had a mare , special mention for Sam Hagon who was undefeated by an opponent he was riding the outside line very well.

A far too regular occurence at Ashfield. Apart from Oxford away little has been gained from Freddy this season. He has the ability but does he have the drive to improve?

Track was like a typical Glasgow lady, very wet and a little rough. 
 

Track was there to be attacked. A half hour delay and the meeting would of been complete

The gaps between fixtures across both leagues is an absolute disgrace during summer months.

Maybe one league would solve this. Consistency for all clubs and hopefully supporters alike.

And you're getting the riders that are actually competitive from where to fill all the teams?

Jason Doyle Vs Simon Lambert doesn't sound entertaining

If the riders were available to fill up teams, it would not work, some teams are on limited budget and over 10 meetings in championship offset losses with sponsorship, but in one big league the costs go up, more meetings to lose more money which sponsorship won't cover, and can fans afford twice as many meetings as now

Only if they were programmed to ride against each other... there is more than 1 way to run a Speedway meeting 🤔

No! No! No!...

15 Heats, Seven rider teams!!

It's the only way!!!

I remember several years ago they devised a formula which meant the best riders rode against esch other more often in a meeting..

Some of the best racing I have witnessed in many, many years..

And then they stopped doing it..
