He has a habit of that! Seems a decent return for Kozza, hopefully he is starting to turn the corner. Onward to Plymouth tomorrow night.

A tough meeting for Glasgow though hopefully Garrity is true to form of this week, knocks off a team mate, goes for a pass that is never on and gifts us a couple of 3 rider races we might sneak a point. This meeting will put into perspective how we should have tried much harder at Newcastle 2 weeks ago!

Could see what Lasse is up to that night! Looks like Sarjeant will be available though with 2 away matches next week it could mean he gets his average and moves up to the 1-5. Hopefully its Kozza moving down, though that won't be an advantage for us over there.

He'll only take the piss if he is allowed to. Time for Worky to stand up for themselves and sack him, pronto. Workington are crying out for a decent No1, Hansen was never going to carry it on a 7 something average.

Definitely points dropped after being well ahead. Its probably worse knowing that the 0131's won there last weekend though we won't get better chances than this. There will be a raft of team changes at the next set of averages with teams strengthening up all over the place. We have a run of away matches from the end of June and we need to start making them count, with points. As it is we don't have a home meeting for a fortnight then its EDI away and home the following weekend and they are capable on the road!

To be fair to Kozza he is only riding when Glasgow are and with the absolute lack of home meetings with rain offs and reserved fixtures where we can't get anyone to come isn't helping. We aren't riding at home again for another 2 weeks now. I thought in the Sheffield match he was overtrying and causing his own problems though he is averaging over 6 so far this season. Today the meeting lost momentum after a decent first couple of heats, the ongoing tapes malfunction, Steve Worrall bursting an airbag then getting extra time for 3 rides in a row killed the excitement of back to back races where the biting wind made the time seem that bit more longer.

A not too difficult meeting for Glasgow on a bitterly cold afternoon. Steve Worrall was arguably one of the best visitors to Ashfield this season but got little back up. Lindgren was ok and Rose got a first and second either side of two zeros. Jim Sarjeant was excellent for Glasgow, as was Lawson until blowing another engine crossing the line unbeaten in ht13 and not re-appearing in ht15. Hopefully we are good for at least a point tomorrow at NCL and that Morris makes the 2 minutes in ht1, unforegivable in your first ride!

Which are probably going to be the most competitive Aussie State Championships of all time!

After next Sunday against Newcastle, the following 2 Sundays are down as reserved. We should be trying to get 2 of the 3 rain off teams to run then and if not we should be looking to pull forward 2 fixtures from later in the season. We can't afford to have 3 weeks between home meetings, our schedule has already been interrupted and further lack of continuity only serves to put off those newcomers who have been turning out in numbers.

Glasgow have only had 4 competitive Sunday meetings in the 8 weeks since the season started. Any more rain offs and we will have a serious backlog, last year was problematic enough getting teams to agree new dates. The only upside is the EL riders are continuing to ride elsewhere and won't become race rusty.

Whilst the national audience brings a different perspective, for us Glasgow fans it was the first night meeting in a long time and the track was better. It was deeper than normal, being cooler than our normal 3pm start it retained the moisture that made it grippier and faster. Floodlights brought an added dimension, would love for us to return to Friday nights. Tapes issue aside it was all positive, what a difference from our club of just 12 months ago. Now we just need the weather to play ball to get a run of home meetings going.

Victor has been p1sh so far this season at home, replacing him with another 3.00 pointer isn't exactly a disadvantage. Think I'd prefer Summers at No4 for ht14, Dmitri has shown similar form to Palovaara and is up against Garrity whereas he would be better matched to Birks who was absolutely abysmal on his last visit to Glasgow.

It should be publicly available information anyway. Most sports offer transparency just not ours.

That's the point, Glasgow are for now anyway, not short of a few bob and didn't need to get this meeting on as if a rematch would cost more i.e. paying Plymouth travel expenses all the way rather than just from Worky last night. The only angle I can see is that we haven't had a competitive home meeting for 4 weeks and the riders need the practice before the Sky match however that also isn't applicable as the double uppers of Lawson, Sarjeant and Morris have been riding all over the place during that time so aren't race rusty. Summers has had a guest appearance and Victor is riding in Sweden. So I don't get it, why did it have to be on regardless. The new owners have brought professionalism to Glasgow that previously we never had, however today's debacle has returned us back to that, inconvenienced their own fans and damaged their reputation. The process of accountability must begin internally to find out what happened, who made the decision, why they made the decision and how we ensure it never happens again. Hopefully!

Some flawed decision making here. If the track was deemed unacceptable at 2.20 by the referee after 2 hours of dry weather what must it have looked at 12.20 just as the rain eventually stopped. That was the time to call a halt to it. The rain came back on about 4.30 and hasn't gone off. Giving the weather a chance to clear is fine to try to get it on, leaving that to within an hour of the start when fans have started travelling is not. Whilst it was the ref's decision, its one that should have been made before that.

Match put off 40 mins before start time when its been dry since 1.30, the fans have already travelled and its not forcast to rain until 4pm! Poor show.

Rain meant to stop at midday then restart at 4pm. Plymouth are also already up having ridden at Worky last night so I'm sure they will give it every chance to go ahead.

Excellent return from Pijper

Its a shocking forecast from Sunday right through to Wednesday!

Getting points at Ipswich and PB next week will be pretty hard to come by. Would expect a reaction from Ipswich after they were beaten by Sheffield earlier in the week and Peterborough look pretty decent. A point from either would be a bonus.

Be interesting to see how Steve Worrall gets on.

Terrible weather and its freezing. No surprise its off, there was a weather warning for snow just above Glasgow last night.

He spent a summer going round with Shane Parker when he was 15 riding on his own after the main meetings. For his age he looked a good prospect then. He has done more than a few laps at Glasgow.

Think Glasgow have missed a trick here. Surely we could have found southern opposition to come up and start off our PL fixtures. Crowds have been superb so far this year hopefully this meeting doesn't cause us to lose that momentum with a fill in fixture. We have suffered disproportionately over the last few years with very few home meetings over the key period of June and July, hopefully we have the foresight to ensure that won't happen this year. We already lose home meetings for the PLRC, Cardiff GP and Newcastle away.

Be interesting to see what happens when Douglas is fit again. Pijper has been solid for Scunny so far this season.
