Glasgow v Edinburgh Scottish Cup 1st Leg 11th July

[Nickinho]

Cami said it all came down to the choice of guests and whilst i agree with him saying that Drew had an awful night you have to quantify it with Justin Sedgmen also having a nightmare afternoon and scoring the exact same points as Kemp. If Howarth had been at number 1 and if Sedgy had scored his usual points around Ashfield the score wouldn't have been very much different from what it was. Kye and Dan were head and shoulders above all the home riders and if the Tigers are going to keep Chris at number 3 so he can't compete in heat 13 against the best that the opposition has to muster then Glasgow are going to keep having nights like this when having your best riders in the biggest heats will often swing a meeting. Why is Chris at 3 competing against the opposition's second string at the business end of the meeting anyway? Is this another example of tactical genius from Cami once again?

The worst thing i saw at Ashfield was home fans in the main stand throwing bottles and other projectiles at the two Leicester riders who were doing a well deserved victory lap after the end of heat 14 after they clinched the title in 2019. There's an element (albeit a small one) within the Glasgow support who are not very nice and i've noticed this creeping in over the past few years. 'Loutish' some would call it. Ashfield is not always the warmest and happiest place to be due to a minority of the fans although the staff are always lovely and hard working the whole year through and they deserve a mention because their work often goes unheralded.

Fans, (plural)?………Bottles and other projectiles?……..I’m pretty sure it was a plastic tumbler thrown by one fan who’d had too much to drink and he was subsequently barred for a long spell.  No excuse, but the action was out of character for the said fan by the way.
