Somebody must have upset Kelvin when he rode for Hammers,and as in his riding days he was easily upset.Probably still bears a grudge .Turn the volume off it makes Sky meetings more enjoyable.

Will Berwick be allowed a guest for Bellego? -

Last nights fixture would have been a financial disaster for Glasgow if it had went ahead with the situation re-running the GP qualifier. -

Judging by the the crowds they attract give them a set amount of money each and maybe the clubs losses on the day may not be as much as if they had raced. -

That's far too sensible,why not just forget about the meaningless fixture and save some money at the same time. -
We will soon have the juniors copying the "big boys" and turning back after a practice start and re- adjusting the chain.Who invented that load of nonsense.

Looked superb deserving winner. -
Not to me though, concentrate on getting the programme scores correct then move on to the more tricky stuff .i.e. Averages.Ps My Bar Chart hasn't got a Smiley Face perhaps that's the problem.

A fine example, a junior meeting with none of the "big team" involved.this time one of the "big "team will miss a meeting for his club.give me an example that does not involve junior meetings. -

the contingency plan was in the Regs for meeting,they obviously need to refer to them in this situation.what it really was that they wanted to run at all cost irrespective of conditions and entertainment to paying public,disgraceful IMO. -

while I don't know what went on regarding a rain -off,but I find it strange to arrange to Ride at Glasgow on what could be a potential rain -off date ( which has now happened) -

Berwick have a little bit of an obsession about being recognised by the F.I.M. And as the sports Governing body thanks fine,but the bottom line is the F.I.M.dont give a Sh#t about any Clubs.Self Interest is their main priority,while no one can legislate for the weather perhaps Berwick should tread carefully when getting involved in these events in the future.While the u/21 round was a very meaningful fixture in the context of the Competion and was brilliant,with 10 qualifiers going through to the next round I doubt that this meeting will have the same cut and thrust racing.The weather is playing havoc with the sport this season and ALL PROMOTERS have my sympathy they need better guidelines in place when these situations arise.Last night did not show the sport in good light,irrespective who was making the decisions. -

Buck passing IMO .the F.I.M. Regs were printed on this forum last week it was there in black and White but no one took any notice.What were the riders told when this meeting was switched,Bad day for Speedway .F.I.M must take the blame for not cancelling at Advertise start time. -

It's hard to believe that it can be reduce to a shambles like tonight .We all know that the weather is a major factor in the sport and if F.I.M. Can't get it right what chance have we got.Decision should have been make at Official Start.OFF or ON.end of story.People pay money to see Event start when they are advertised,they may have other arrangements based on that fact.Would they get their money back if the Meeting started 2hours late and they had to leave early.Farcical. -

Amazing how this can go ahead,still we were told it would not be off. Rosco will be confused now.Health and Safety and visibility don't seen to come into the equation when it suits. -
