Fair enough, as I say I'm happy to be proved wrong and I hope nothing but the best for Glasgow, it's a city close to my heart, although I don't follow their speedway team, I do like to see them succeed. I've seen Ashton have absolutely blinding races where he looks like he's been racing for decades and I've seen him shut off and bottle it against riders much slower than him... I guess it's to be expected at such a young age and he might grow past that stage and properly kick on, time will tell. Hopefully he's a superstar soon enough.

He ain’t finished yet

I watched bewley for a season at Glasgow, probably at same stage boughen is now, and if told me he'd be a GP rider I'd have called you liar. There wasn't a bit fanfare about Dan, he had audition for a place at Edinburghs press and practice I seem to recall.  Can only comment on boughen I saw easily beat bomber by about a straight at ashfield at end of season and that'll do for me on a 5

Honestly, I'm probably gonna eat my words in years to come, but I don't get all the hype behind Ashton. Yeah he's extremely talented on a bike for his age, but his attitude and the way he rides... I just can't see him developing into anything too crazy. Yeah he might eventually be a heatleader at Championship level, but I just honestly can't see past that. He reminds me a lot of Lewis Bridger. Bags of talent at a young age, but I just don't see him hitting full potential. I really like Glasgow and I hope it pays off for them, and it probably will, but he's not the next Bewley, Lambert, Woffinden in my eyes. I know it sounds stupid saying this already at his stage in his career, and I do hope I'm wrong... I just don't feel it with him, like I did when I first saw Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley ride, and I just can't explain why...

At least it's now official. Hopefully a juicy fee involved and move on. 

I suppose Oxford is the nearest, as I seem to recall, Swindon versus Oxford was known as a local derby? And it has always been said, that Bristol got big crowds! I don't know why someone couldn't do something like 'a Workington' somewhere near Bristol, Swindon or South Wales. Maybe there isn't anyone with the money or the interest to start something up. However, there is a Swindon action group, how are they getting on?
