Paying publics perrogative ultimately and if the racing on Sunday was to be the norm (thankfully it isn't) then i am pretty sure it would affect numbers nobody is saying we are track curators but even the most naive off us could see the track was far too deep for the conditions as it was being watered every 3 heats which makes it worse with it being so deep with dirt.

Wether i am on good terms or not is irrelevant and the bit highlighted is exactly what i have been saying hopefully lessons will have beeN learned.

To be fair majority off meetings this season have been pretty good especially last week against Newcastle but today the track was poor as i say need to start listening to the home riders on prep and how they want it. Was never going to be easy today on the track with the sweltering heat but it was just far to deep until they had to do some work on it hopefully lessons have been learned but we have been entertained most weeks today we weren't we hope it was an isolated incident. I will pass on your concerns to Stewart the next time i talk to him I am sure he won't give a toss what you think. Come to think off it we don't give a toss what you think.

Whilst we are no experts on track prep it was pretty clear that most found track conditions almost unrideable today at the start off the meeting, is it maybe time to meet halfway and take into account what our riders prefer. When you have young exciting riders like Lunna & Garcia willing to give it there all but track prep costing them points & ultimately money it is time too prepare the track to suit our team rather than unsettle the visiting team as all it is doing is unsettling our boys just as much if not more Richie not to complimentary on the track on the website either time for a rethink when your own team criticise the track conditions.

Track in a word was awful to begin with improved slightly as the meeting progressed but not the best meeting when a rider of the experience off Kevin Doolan can't turn the bike we knew then that the track was too deep. Have a feeling releasing Ben will come back to bite us I have been saying since day 1 he will come good and i think it was the wrong decision to let him go time will tell.

Did they apparently Jye Etheridge would be able to cut it at PL level and we know how that turned out.

Glasgow or second choice my pocket but seriously glad you enjoyed your Ashfield visit seems our rep is growing with the complimentary comments from a few visiting for the first time .

Spot on shrewd choice off guest in Coty he is riding very well at the minute just keep him & Richie safe for us please.

To be honest if he can be dropped can you really blame Edinburgh for wanting to drop him he has hardly pulled any trees up and is basically a passenger and as we know you can't afford to carry them for too long.

I still think Ben would have came good don't see the Bach signing making us any stronger in the long term but reading the website seems there was things behind the scenes on Ben's side that swayed the decision. Wish Ben future success wherever he ends up.

I think Jye is a fantastic rider for the Monarchs.

Really you sure about that no two meeting's the same it would be too close to call as they are very evenly matched teams. He has increased his average whilst in third gear not a lot more you can say about that is there.

I may sound like a broken record but Ben Barker will come good too talented not to nobody at Glasgow are concerned as far as i am aware. Average increase for June and he is still hasn't got out off second or possibly third gear. Ben will be staying and once he gets back to his best then the way the other 3 heat leaders are riding then we will be very potent indeed.

Heat 15 fiasco is slightly negating what was a wonderful meeting yes Newcastle may have still got a point but in all 3 re-runs Richard had hit the front and did win the heat when it eventually did manage a conclusion so it makes no difference but it appears even the Referees do not know the rules. It appears the rule was applied correctly yesterday not that i agree with it but correctly nevertheless seems that other referees need a crash course in applying the correct rules, hopefully the Diamonds fans witness a meeting that matches yesterday's wonderful spectacle. Just proves when you put out two evenly matched teams with riders willing to put it on the line then that is what you get superb entertainment both teams deserve plaudits for that.

Come 1st July though Coty will move up as his rolling average will be much higher as his scores this season will impact it more.

Why do you need to win on aggregate ?.

Have faith Ben will come good I have no doubts.

He is really struggling with mechanical issues got a new engine last week only to blow up without using it sent back to supplier in Germany from what i hear. Ben will come good just having issues family wise & mechanical. To be fair he has upped his starting average and he has not fully got going yet when he sorts the problems out he will be fine.

Wanting to fight fan's is one thing but assaulting opposition player's & staff is just not on think in the cold light off day a fair few are regretting there actions as names & phone numbers have been circulated on public forums this could get messy for those identified. They done the deed though and will pay the consequences but anyway you enjoy your day on Saturday Mr B .

Hibs deserved it last weekend but what were those spoon burners all about at the end off the game have a feeling karma will be coming soon for those clowns.

Top notch again George not sure about the green sofa though.

Would doubt that very much over the years there has been a very close relationship between both promotions remember Stewart saying in a programme a couple off years back that he has a really good relationship with George English and is always a pleasure having him up at Ashfield. If it was possible i would say we would have agreed as Newcastle would more than likely help us if needed so i would say that was a no. Didn't know that and what a year that was under the Scottish Monarchs we turned up that year supporting the away team every week.

Fair point but historically it has always been the May bank holiday Monday at Brough for a fair few years now.

Two Sunday tracks Glasgow get first call on that day based on them having raced on that day the longest i suspect.

We were informed on Sunday the start time next Monday has been put back one hour to 7.30 to allow Richie & Steve time to get up to Brough.
