Fenway Bleachers

a bit harsh FP, the weegies are a decent bunch just "high" on the exploits of their team this year following a few years in the wilderness. They deserve some optimism and concrete foundations for their team, so the future looks bright ........just not in the next 48 hours. The old chestnut about being in a lift with weegies and being invited to a wedding by the top floor holds true, unless you have a blue and gold scarf mind you. I`ve made a living in the city these last 30 years and the banter is always warm especially when they have had some chemicals. However the best thing out of glasgow might be the M74 if they could get the cones off it.

Amazing, even the weather is playing ball.........Apollo and Zeus have picked sides and held back the rain to see how this shakes down. Big crowds plaenty of banter just who will run out of chips first ??? Might need a few fags to get through this next 2 days (gave up 20 years ago) Thought of losing will keep me up nights as bragging rights last all Winter, since I work in the west...... Here`s hoping for 2 cracking meetings and 13 safe bodies throughout.......Yes Nick even you........

If the ref thinks someone is anticipating the start, why can`t he/she then alter the timing so to stop this? or am i missing something? Once green light they can push button when he /she deems fit and if necessary hold them a second or 2 longer to catch the jumpers.

Its really easy for Skippy Sarjeant. Sit still don`t anticipate the start. Keep front wheel still. Drop clutch when tapes rise. Give it a try, you might catch on.........

Hope its not that late SCB. We will be 3 short that weekend

Remember panthers when you fall off, Clear the track, no professional fouls or as its known up here "doing an Aspgren"

Come on Weegies!!

Agree with RR at 2....Sedgy can still join Cookie in heat 1 and Sam in 8. Erik can slot in for heat 5 or 11 depending on gates etc. Sedgy gives him a reliable partner throughout

Maybe Smug at times Cliff but you have to acknowledge guts in others,and your boys showed it in spades,and without your No,1 contributing. I'm not a good loser but it makes you enjoy the victory's all the more and we have been spoiled in the last 2 years. Maybe we might have another gig,and at full strength. Monarchs/Rebels 111. The decider!

Fantastic news as I love my trips to the STMP....with a wee swing at Rockliffe Hall and day off work...naturally Gweat news Wedcar!!!!!

After the euphoria of Thursday when we burgled the 4s I guess it was only fair that a fired up Rebels septet slugged it out and won the KOC. I felt the atmosphere s bit flat and after the Sedgy ef it seemed inevitable that Somerset would do it,with some astute management. Well done to them. No repeat Quad this year........unless we count the big Spring?

Scrabble man might be back..... But Dickie MUST stay!!

Well done Somerset. Plugged away when they might have been swamped after first 2 heatsd. We just could not shake them off. Sedgy ef and 5 points from RR possibly swung it,but Stasrke and Worrall fought mightily. Kurtz struggles here and swapping him out of ,13 made sense leaving Jensen to score in 14. Thank goodness Erik got up from Ht 14 spill which could have been dreadful. He was the hero last night but did not manage to score in ,12 and 14 tonight. He will improve and no blame anywhere. Cookie sublime again. On to EOES and get well soon Kaiser. Enjoy the beer and long trip home Rebels. We might meet again!

Wolbert very doubtful according to alec last night so R/R again. Fast start would be nice....over to Cook and Sedgy.......

But since he's not good enough for team GB wolf. He is a legend at the Dale...15 more on Friday

Robert Lambert was paid for 11 last time bigcat d He and Ricky won't help you this time at the Dale. Simon Lambert will be OK at home. Pants up here

Bigger the track the better for Erik..... Sam and Sedgy hold the key here, and the kaiser should be back........might all hang on who guests at our place in the no1 jacket......no wells, lambert or stormy to help this time

Cookie can only have 5 rides though.....and no 6 pointers Sam, Sedgy and erik hold the key to whether this is close or a good sized win by somerset. Reckon you will need 14+ for the return leg to make it interesting

Well done Cookie keep it up marra! More of the same tomorrow please Poole too strong on Weds though..... Maybe you might get a GB bib again?......oh no wait Rosco is manager......must wait longer Great TV viewing and a good advert for the sport towards the end

Fantastic crowd tonight and we'll done all Scottish Speedway fans Monarchs hungrier from gate and deserved big win. Cookie sublime and Kaiser excellent despite Ht 15. Morris subdued though Spud tried hard,and the real Dickie Lawson appeared,not able to hide in the No 1 race jacket. Pavlova carmelised and Jimmy the Kangaroo sat still tonight...must be a first! But take a bow Coty Messi Garcia more please on Sunday Weegies liable to come out swinging at Ashfield but if we can keep it tight for first 6 races then it should be comfortable. If not then it might get close. Seems amazing that Tigers heat leaders won 1 race tonight and our reserves outscored theirs 7 to ,5 That explains the scoreline me thinks. Pity Stewart Dickson missed the winners parade this time.He did seem to enjoy a wee hurl on the wheels last time

If we get there....... R/R for sam and Stevie w in for sedgy if the averages allow....he can make up for missing last years final.........simples!!!

No No! PR means per rectum........and we know what comes via that route

Edinburgh did not charge extra last year....mind you as a season ticket holder I got a lot of extra meetings for free...so The promotion changed matters this year but still let me in for 14 so hats off to them.....guess I'll need to sponsor something!

Pity there is no equity in admission price George or even better...a combined ticket covering both matches.

That would need a change in GB management though.......rosco only picks his pals.......
