Must be a real dilemma for the Bathgate Beavers fans tomorrow. Support my team, see them live lift a national trophy but give my money to Them!

Have to laugh at all the jealous posters on BSF who come up with the "money can't buy, etc" as if two very successful business men are "dumb and dumber". There is a plan, it's year one, and speedway is only part of the plan.

Exactly. Why let the truth get in the way of making a personal point.

Beat it!

Looks like his Speak and Spell is working again Gaz.

Heat 14 and Riss is excluded. Re-run and I'm thinking Embra will still get a 5-1!

Quicker service at the bar tonight ...

Can't take anything away from Embra, better team won. Wish we'd put up more of a fight though. Did we make any starts tonight?

Most Embra fans are a rider short of a full team.

Anyone informed Wolbert there's a burger in the Tigers Den with his name on it?

30 heats to go, anything can happen, nothing decided yet.

We're all doomed!

This first leg is going to be a real tough one and could easily decide the aggregate outcome. June's win for the Tiger's is no indicator. We might just have been a tad underestimated by the home riders that night ... that won't happen again. As we seem to have been saying all season, we need everyone firing on all cylinders. I'm not sure I can see that happening. So I'll go for a home win, and hope we can keep it close for a return leg that'll be equally as tough. Go on boys ... prove me wrong!

If only that would be reciprocated by those who get a nose bleed when they have to travel past Harthill on the M8.

Are the high scores Edinburgh run up week in, week out not a factor too? If so, then surely team planning pre-season needs to be looked at? Some will argue that a lesser team may not attract as many people, but you can't have it both ways. Cut the cloth accordingly.

Fully agree the team that has most points are League winners in my eyes. However, for the teams and supporters involved in the play offs there are benefits.

Based on recent experience - 10 heat meetings

For the average speedway fan there's more to the sport than trophies. I'd rather be watching on track action for the next few years and an empty trophy cabinet than your predicament .... An empty track and a trophy cabinet of years gone by. We're not all Glory Hunters. But hey, each to his own.

Thanks for the link Cyclone. As you say it may be considered an honour. Maybe some of the Glory Hunters on here and elsewhere (not you) might see it that way and put aside personal single minded desires for success for the same reason?

Cheers Rob, just wanted to clarify.

Serious question. Is there anything to stop the two riders from not being at the GP and riding for Edinburgh instead?

If only.

Wouldn't have thought it would be a problem getting equally good guests in who'll perform to the same standard. After all Embra supporters frequently tell us what a good track they have and definitely not a trick one.

Looks like we've upset the Glory Hunters from the East. Assuming Glasgow are solely to blame that is, which the Minions seemed to be doing.
