At Glasgow former riders pay. Jim Beaton is there every week and pays. Personally I think if you have ridden for a club for a set number of years, as frigbo suggests five years, you should be allowed in free. Maybe a card allowing a discount would be possible. I believe this point is on the agenda with the B.S.P.A.
Shame Ben couldn't have ridden like that before today. Wasn't Barker fan but I'm sorry to see him go. Good Luck for the future.
It was warmer and sunnier today. I know that the riders don't want water going into the turn but not putting water on the straights doesn't do the paying customers any favours.
There seemed to be a remote controlled tank trap on middle of 3rd/4th bend which caught out the Tigers riders. The ref was atrocious with the starts allowing Newcastle to "anticipate" and when they were off of gate two to turn left as soon as they gone a bikes length.
It was enforced, Aaron Summers replaced Richie Worral.
Thanks to Jim Beaton who picked up Nike today when he broke down on his way to Ashfield. Shame that he had to pay entry into the stadium.
