Was it Glasgow's fault that the meeting was staged on the same night as SGP2 in which 2 of their riders were racing? Guests are an accepted part of the sport. No matter who is representing your team you support your team. No doubt next year it will be a different group of riders. The track was un-raceable that evening. Had it not been a playoff, with pressure to get it run, it would have been called off

I would like to see good racing over losing a meeting but hey ho what ever floats your boat to win at all costs.

It’s just sad. Watching Flint, Nagel and Rowe in particular throw their bikes and bodies all over the place, but generate zero pace or traction was a travesty. Even Lawson - a master of Wimborne Road - gated second and couldn’t lay a glove on Harris.

biggest surprise was the continued pictures of the tractor going round and round scaping the blue line, it just showed how little shale was on the track, more sparks being generated than grip!  

Does that make it acceptable and tolerable? Let’s not beat around the bush; instances like last night will be a catalyst for the death of this sport. As I said last night, I encouraged two Bournemouth based colleagues to attend or tune in last night. Non-speedway fans. One tuned in with his son and won’t be doing so again. To the neutral (our target market), it was a dire spectacle. Poole can enjoy their trophy cabinet in 5-10 years when their only meetings are exhibition ones, twice per-season, because UK speedway is dead. I repeat: that wasn’t home track advantage, that was racing prevention.

A lot of GPs are gate and go, and the all the riders turn up and just have to get on and deal with it.
