LINE-UP: Adam Ellis, Will Cairns, Zach Cook, Vinnie Foord, Anders Rowe, Tobias Thomsen, Drew Kemp, Kevin Juhl Pedersen, Paul Starke, Jonas Jeppesen, Fraser Bowes, Edward Kennett, Richard Lawson, Darryl Ritchings, Scott Nicholls, Lewis Kerr. Kerr surely not riding. Lawson back? Eddie Kennett? Interesting that he still wants to ride speedway. Poole clearly looking at Pedersen and Jeppesen for 26.

No Castagna. Out for season. Palm Toft might be injured, Palovaara off the boil. Edinburgh needed 18 points imo. Think Glasgow will do them.

And people on here have been critical of my moaning about him and Kerr (to a lesser extent). Mobile chicane with nothing left to give. Should have retired a few seasons ago but guess it’s in his blood. A terrible choice for a team spot sorry to say.

Full commitment Jeppersen. Proper guest rider. Glad he’s up and ok. Also proper Captains performance tonight from Zack Cook.

Won us the meeting. If Glasgow get a 5-1 here it would have been golden heat and no chance. His battling passed Hodder won us the semi.

That’s what he is capable of. Sixteen and does that.

Thank you Glasgow promotion for listening to the fans unable to travel/work commitments. The stream has been great.

Wwwwooooohooooooo! What a battle. Willian Cairns. Man of the match.

Need a 3-3 in heat 14. Come on Zack.

We got to get something here or it’s curtains.

Nowhere near over.

Glasgow have Harris, Flint and Thompson unbeatable, backed up with Howarth. Pirates fighting as always but no riders to match the top three. 13 and 15 looked nailed on 5-1’s to Glasgow.

Hodder loses it with Poole on a 5-1. Brings down Palm Toft. A surprise 5-1. Cairns doing well he has some speed. Think he will replace Starke in one ride.

Just waiting for the invevitable. Common sense says Glasgow will do it easy. If it was rolls reversed I would be shocked if Poole didn’t wrap it up with a couple of heats to spare.

He ain’t no Lawson!

Roynon saying using Tobias, Cains and Starke could favour Poole. 🤪

Think the gods are against us here and there’s a bigger meeting ahead. Not given up yet but no Lawson no Kerr against the team that finished top of the league is a tough ask.

Kerr out. We are well and truly stuffed. Reserves only. No T/Rs. Looks like a collarbone injury? Holding his arm.

Kerr crashed. A fairly safe 3-3 has now turned into a 5-1 to Glasgow.

Stream has settled and is very good. Looks and sounds like a BSN production.

Brown says no Villads is the same as no Lawson. Evens itself out. lol! Stream is jittery and freezes. Played about with the different options but no cure yet.

I would have absolutely have fancied our chances had we had a full team, but this is so disappointing. Still, the others will have to raise their game and do the best they can.

Poole hugely disadvantaged by the loss of Lawson. A guest can rarely replicate the rider he is replacing. Even more so when he is replacing the best rider in the Championship. Gutting but nothing else to be done.

Well done to get this up and running. A bit late for most tonight who won’t be aware there’s a stream. A shame both teams affected by missing riders.

No Lawson is a catastrophy. Irreplaceable. Not a rider who could do a decent job comparable.
