Glasgow are Promoting the sport in aProfessional manner,and should be applauded,they can only build their Team to the points limit irrespective of what they want to pay their riders,I certainly don't have a problem with that.They have not had a lot of major success in the last 2 seasons with their so called "big money riders" which proves how fickle the sport is with injuries etc.Teams on paper doesn't mean everything in this sport.Plenty riders have " followed the money" in their career and good luck to them if it works out.Other Teams would do they same if in the position the Tigers find themselves in.Lets face it Edinburgh have always had some " high profile signings" over the years,and it certainly not the attendances the pay their wages.Its Sponsership .

If the rules are relaxed over starting procedures,I would likes to see any who touches the tapes excluded with no replacement,that would soon sort out tape touchers and give the other Team an advantage for the misdomeaner.

Cant remember him passing anybody anywhere!! ,he is a good gater though!

Winning an Individual Meeting is hardly aTeam effort.Maybe you should have said your Bandit.

What did Bandits win more that teams near top of Table?!!!!!

Matea Ferjan (spelling!) did he not ride inGP

Just an update,spoke to the Duty Manager at Meadowbank tonight he thinks the Craven Family will be contacted and have first refusal on plaque.Notice it was donated by The Veterans Speedway Riders Ass,That's all from me.

It does,but I am talking about rules just before Black and White double points.(could be wrong though).

You will know Mike' s contact feel free to contact him,Thanks

Thanks ,but don't do Facebook.

Totaly of the subject but thought this might be the place to attract Mike Hunters attention.Mike did you know that Meadowbank sports centre is closing to the public on 3rd Dec .And being demolished.Wondering about the plaque to Peter Craven which is situated in the building ,what will become of it.

Hancock will probably still be riding.

Dont think that is correct.Before the Black and white double points rule,there was only a max of 2 Tac rides .

Think it is one.(could be wrong)

In present climate in the sport don't think the crowd levels would rise significantly ,but based on recent seasons there is always more fans attend at start of new season(as At most tracks) but drops off after afew weeks,if we had a successful team challenging for honours the levels may hold up better IMO .If word gets round it may attract a few fans back.As for affording a successful Team fans don't know the costs so how can we judge? Everything is rumour regarding club and rider running costs.

It won't happen but I would. Have liked to see TJ back,think it was a mistake to leave him out last season.

Cook can gate,but 1st bends are pretty ruthless in GPs,better hope he is well clear IMO .

your forgetting about the 50% that don't attend anymore.!!!

Need to check your map Armadale to Glasgow is less than 40 mls.Can see why they allowed Glasgow to switch though as it probably doesn't affect the size of attendances for meetings these days.

You wonder how they have to go all the way to Tenerife to decide virtually nothing,must be so as they can spike the drinks when they are all in the one room.Then have the vote.

A No1 the same standard as Nick last year is first priority IMO .Its was a Good job that Jye improved and Nick was a great signing because the rest could not be relied on when the going got tough espiecially away from home.Need some fresh blood IMO .

He rode in America a few weeks ago. He did race in Sweden last season.

Your right ,Cook has already said he is not riding at Workington next season so that should not come into the equation.

Also Saturday's in Coatbridge era of Monarchs.

Its ridiculous that teams can't use there own assets regardless of their average as long as they are under the limit,how do they manage to come up with such a daft idea after stating a limit,what's the real point of 1 rider over 8.
