Pretty much what I expected with the top two of Newcastle offering the only resistance to Glasgow, The Tigers threw away some silly points tonight with Perry having engine troubles all night, Special mention to S Worrall who was superb and Nike Lunna had a great meeting too with a superb pass on Lindgren in heat 14.

Depends on Ryan Douglas recovering from food poisoning, though in 2011 Screen and Grieves both missed Scunthorpe away with a non speedway injury and weren't allowed to race for 7 days. I do hope Douglas is feeling better but he shouldn't be allowed to race today.

I'm sur Barker will get his bikes fixed soon, what's that, three seasons now lol

I'm sure there will be tougher tests ahead but great start to the season for the Witches.

Well the 1 to 7s have been named and for Glasgow it's 1 Summers 2 Bewley 3 Worrall 4 Lunna 5 Lawson 6 Perry 7 Smith Scunny 1 Douglas 2 Wilkinson 3 Kerr 4 Palm Toft 5 Auty 6 Wallner 7 Bailey Think this could be closer than what most people think, I believe Smith and Perry might take time to get used to there new surroundings and the Austrian at reserve for Scunthorpe could like the shape of Ashfield. Glasgow will be relying on the big 3 come heats 13/15 and with Scunthorpe not having an out and out number 1 this is where I believe they will win it. I'll go for 51 39 to the home side.

Certainly look like the team to beat that's for sure, not sure about King being the best number 1 in the league though. Cook still top dog for me.

Karma's a bitch eh !!!

Big opening meeting for the Witches to start with, Sheffield will definitely be in the mix come the play offs, Opening night banana skin I reckon. Ipswich 43. Sheffield 47

In fairness there was a charge for the meet the riders night last season, what they have done is start it later at 4.30pm until 6.30pm on track with the meet the riders in the Den at 7pm until 9pm, saves people going home and back out again at night, and the admission this year covers both events, remember the 7 riders still have to be paid travel for P&P so there is an outlay.

If you support Ashfield you will probably have left 20 mins before the end lol

How can we even have a 2 pointer, he told us all through the winter that Jack Smith would be a 3 lol

Let's wait on the announcement from the new owners and I'm sure you will see the hold up wasn't anything to do with the BSPA, I think you will find the MC have been working with the new owners in what will be very exciting times for Belle Vue speedway.

No they don't, The new Belle Vue owners are waiting from clearance from the Manchester City council to make an announcement with regards to there takeover of the club.

Why would the hold up of an announcement from Belle Vue be the fault of the BSPA? Every other club has to organise there own affairs and get things ready . Seem to me that it's so easy to point the finger at the association every time a club is in trouble.

Another working party meeting at the track this Sunday at 10am, then next Thursday the new foam fence arrives from down south. Volunteers required for both days if anyone has some spare time.

Masters potentially the better rider, but at this stage of his career has never finished a season with a Championship average above 9, something Lawson achieved in 2015. Was then called the Premier league.

Still better than your team though lol

I believe they are waiting on the new foam fence to arrive and then the training schools will begin.

Then R Worrall or Bewley ain't then!

R Worrall, Bewley and Smith won't work, unless it's Andy lol as you can't have more than two riders from the same championship club riding for the same Premiership club.

I think that on Friday, the day of the deadline something has happened, I believe Coventry wouldn't have came to the the tapes if the announcement was made on Friday, That's the only reason I can see that there hasn't been a firm announcement yet, people saying that the BSPA don't care etc is wrong imo, if it's dead in the water it would have been out by now surely, hopefully there are still parties going on behind the scenes trying to get Coventry and Leicester to the tapes come the start of the season, I understand the frustration of both sets of supporters but maybe just maybe no news is good news.

I believe there will be an announcement in the speedway star on Thursday with the names of 8/9 riders who will be competing in the Ben fund meeting, With the spring trophy no longer being ran I believe Glasgow will try and get Premiership opposition up for an inter league challenge before the serious business starts.

He's not got a clue, watched him two years ago at Belle Vue v Swindon when Cook got ex under two min in his first ride, he replaced him with a reserve, then in Cooks last race he touched the tapes, Lemon then tried to replace him with Worrall which the ref allowed and Rosco didn't object, after a false start the ref then realised Cook hadn't completed his 3 programmed rides and told Lemon to bring him back in, Cook was in the shower lol

I can assure you that Peterborough have to come up with a date and take it to the BSPA, Who they get it from the governing body don't really care, as long as they get one!

I believe Peterborough have to come up with a date and submit it to the BSPA not the other way round,
