Cue Ball

Robson guests for Sheffield

Away fans applauding their own rider? Disgraceful behaviour

Should be a good meeting with both teams riding well at the moment, think Redcar will edge it unfortunately but with revenge being inflicted on Sunday!

Unbelievable. Thought we would do well to hit 30, team performance of the year?!?

But summers scored as many as the 2 other heat leaders combined tonight, really don't see where your criticism is coming from (in relation to tonight's performance at least)

Aaron was about as good as it got for Glasgow tonight, if not for him and Campton it would have been very embarrassing for you.

What's the difference between `Lasse was unable to ride` and `no longer able to ride`?? An extremely subtle difference which amounts to no difference I would humbly suggest

Agreed. We had the meeting won and realistically we don't care if Scunny picked up a bonus point as it won't effect our end of the table, so why not give him the extra experience.

Regarding Wood's exclusion... was the ref having a laugh?!?! He was off gate 4 going round turn 1 still by the fence when he got clattered from behind by Tero who was off gate 1... still can't figure out that decision!! That said, couldn't see the need for booing Tero, not his fault that the ref needs specs

Scott Nichols in place of JG and I thought Bjerre was back, but might be wrong on that

Think it was a case of Lawson was riding at Sheffield last night so it saves the price of a phone call to anybody else! That and he has never let us down in the past

We won by 12 points last time, but Cook had an uncharacteristically bad night (by his standards), so could be a close one - especially if Campton rides like he did last time.

Wowsers!! Hoped we might scrape a point after performances earlier in the year, yet did not see that coming - think losing Sam probably had a slight impact, but we would still have ended up with a point or 2 which would still have been a cracking result

I believe the expression is 'put to the sword'. I was trying to work out if we were that good or if Newcastle were that bad, came to the conclusion that it was a mixture of the 2.

Not sure I follow 'the get at Cook' attitude - he is what he is and I'm not sure I have ever seen him attempt to big himself up into being something he isn't. Never spoken to him as such, but he seems a really nice guy - when he guested for Sheffield a lot a year or 2 back he was brilliant with the kids hanging around the pits, always had time for them for high fives, signatures and photos etc

Think that is by far and away the best I have seen Graversen ride, can't really fault him - The effort in his final ride was there for all to see and perhaps shows some riders the benefits of not giving up and racing to the line

Howarth is out with concussion and Bates might be dubious after last week's tumble, so presume that baby Bjerre will come in for Sheffield

Graversen confirmed

Second highest scoring team of the year around Owlerton... not that disgusting a team 🤔

Graversen in the pits tonight and Lasse saying that it will be nice to have somebody to speak in Danish to... hmmm...

Wood looks ok, a trier at the very least. 2nd ride out gates Howarth and was level with him coming round turn 4

I think they are fairly even - from a Sheffield perspective I wouldn't have wanted to come up against Glasgow, Peterborough or Ipswich, likewise I doubt many teams would want to come up against Edinburgh, Newcastle or Sheffield. I suppose Workington and Scunny are marginally weaker than Redcar & Berwick, but I wouldn't have thought there was much in it

No Josh Bates tonight due to illness, so rider replacement, probably guarantees a win for the Scots

It's on the twitter feed that it is off

Yeah, you're right, just an average, run of the mill, from the gate, kind of race
