That was a massacre few predicted with little entertainment to view other than Garcia in ht14 stalking and getting Howarth on the line. Bates and Berge looked like reserves not coping in the middle order and Greaves wasnt at the races. Sissis was the only visitor to come away with any credibility. Garrity r/r scored 5 points much what he would have if he werent 'injured'. Its now 2 weeks to our next home meeting being disadvantaged by yet another shared event running at a weekend next Sunday. No tractor races today so proves someone is listening.

Could being the word.

If Garrity performs as normal at Ashfield he'll be on his arse at least once when leading a race. Narrow home win predicted.

A lot depends on the team order with the new averages. Summers needs away from No1 but will he be replaced by Worrall or Lawson? Also will Lunna and Garcia switch places?

In the early 2000's there was a pits altercation between a mechanic/ helper / hanger on and Peter Carr that resulted in the rider getting a broken collarbone. At the return fixture at Arma, Campbell declined entry to that individual. Perhaps this should be applied in this case.

Isnt there a rule that you cant have r/r more than once for the same injury?

Campbells' Armadale track specialists not quite good enough tonight. Looks another difficult night for Summers. With our next meeting a week on Sunday the new averages will be out which should see him move away from No1.

Even if Jorgensen scored the same as Allen would have, Bewley got 13 more than Zac would and Wilson Dean was well off the pace. I agree if Somerset and Glasgow are to meet in the play offs it is the Somerset leg that would largely determine who progresses.

Summers was inconsistent prior to moving to No1 and is a bit more exposed now. At the next set of averages it may be that Worrall goes to No1 and Lunna and Garcia swap.

Heading into town for a payday loan?

Agree with much of that, what a great meeting, with the first eight heats all within a second of the track record such was the standard of the riding. Bewley was sensational in his second heat aggressively going under Lawson with a very self assured style. He won ht14 untroubled and took second from Garcia on the line in ht10, how we could have done with that point. Somerset started well winning 5 of the first 6 heats opening a 6 point lead but Glasgow fought back to be 6 ahead at ht10. Unfortunately the major regrade after then handed back the advantage to Somerset as they won easy 5-1's in heats 11 & 13 which effectively sealed the deal. Whilst Bewley outscored Zac Waj points for the last month, we have all played that card and no point complaining, Somerset were simply better. A home defeat at this stage is perhaps what we needed, proves we arent invincible despite the hype and will hopefully restore some desire at the top end of the team. It would be interesting to know what Summers and Tungates spat was about after ht15, but well done the Rebels anyway.

Edinburgh must be regretting the two suspect call offs in June against Plymouth, where Palovaara was to guest in a full strength Devils team that still included Kurtz and against Glasgow where Doolan was to guest in place of Bach, I think. #didnaefancyit #microclimate #damagewasalreadydonetothetrackbutdrytoday #trackstaffwhoworkwonderswereallonholiday

Off your head more like. Both teams are well matched at 1-5, with Jorgensen strengthening Somerset for a rider who has never visited before. We have to pick up big points at reserve to build up any kind of lead. Bewley has yet to take a liking to Ashfield, hopefully it doesnt begin on Sunday.

Is that Thomas Jorgensen from Berwick at No2?

Hopefully a shorter break at ht10 with nigh on 20 minutes of tractor grading today which lost the momentum of the meeting.

Just like last year Ipswich were hard visitors to overcome. Covatti was excellent to watch with Barker and King pretty decent. Cant work out why they put King off gate 1 in ht15, gave him no chance. Ten points from the weekend is superb, time for a rest with Somerset up next week.

Indeed, Bellego has moved club every season since starting in the PL with GLA. Berge was a lazy little toad, only interested when things were on his terms.

Absolutely, at this rate he'll go back to No2 at the next averages. These away wins take the pressure off, we still have to reschedule our PL trip along the M8 and I wouldnt have liked to be going there needing a win to get second spot. We still also have to fit in Sheffield at home, though if Garrity is riding he's usually worth a few points for us with his ridiculous riding style.

You little beauty! Looks like Bewley got us out of jail when Summers and Worrall hadnt warmed up, Campbell will be furious. Seven points over two meetings is superb, now we must avoid the potential banana skin of Ipswich tomorrow.

Palovaara guesting at Edinburgh, ive a feeling that meeting will succumb to the weather, just like Plymouth found out!

Obviously not at Le Stade D'Ashfield for the last 0131 meeting with Masters in his back pocket, twice.

Four big points banked. Can we break our inconsistency on the road and do the same tomorrow on another slick track?

Rolled over for his mates in 13 & 15.

Brace yourself, the self righteous brigade are meant to give the criticism not receive it.

Towards the end of the Stoney era im sure the Worky track started to be prepared super slick and things changed. They used to be best visitors to GLA by far but not for the last 10 years by and large.
