Interesting that so many non Glasgow fans are speculating about Glasgow, its good to know you all care

So only one Eastbourne rider was willing to take a non programmed ride (heat 15) yet Lawson gets the stick. Your money pays Leicester riders not Eastbourne riders and they weren't willing to take the risk of getting injured for no pay. Ironically they should have taken the ride and pulled up with an engine failure. In that scenario they wouldn't have got any stick and they would have reduced their average albeit just slightly. Clearly they wanted to make a statement and this worked albeit sadly resulting in the the demise of the Eagles - not the fault of the riders but the owners.

I take it you would agree to work overtime for your boss even though they hadn't paid you your weekly wages for a few weeks despite promises?

You his agent then Blobbs?

Glad you agree but have to say you said it better than me

Good result and good to see everyone getting in amongst the points. Had a look at the updates site, always like to see what other people think of the meeting, and I really can't believe the comments from some sad people.

Will he risk booking Richard Lawson?

If Plymouth beat Leicester and Poole beat Edinburgh, Mr Lawson might not be able to guest for Glasgow

It is.

Plymouth is South.

In reply to some of Iainb's comments , I'm not sure who is involved on a day to day basis with Leicester other than Stuart Dickson being the team manager and promoter(?) At Glasgow when it was run by Dickson and Dick, all the admin was done by Alan Dick. Stuart concentrated on the team, track and chatting to and agreeing with fans after the meeting. Since the Facennas took over Stuart walked out for whatever reason and then joined Leicester. Meanwhile Alan is still appreciated and involved at Ashfield.

So the crazy rumour about Kennet replacing one of the top three could be true??

Would imagine Eastbourne riders will want to move to teams that will qualify for the playoffs so as to maximise their potential income. Though agree its unlikely Lawson would replace Andersen, surely Stuart Dickson wouldn't be so ruthless.

What a crass statement! I would remind you and everyone else that keeps suggesting that Glasgow will sign Richard, to have Craig and Richard in the team the club would have to rebuild to a 38 point limit when the current average is 41+ thus weakening the team!

It's 26C in Glasgow today and the weather forecast is dry for the rest of the week!!! So I think I can say it won't be rained off on Friday night. Hopefully there will be a big turn-out with Tigers fans having been starved of speedway for 3 weeks now. No idea how it will go. Berwick seem to do quite well on their travels until the latter heats so hopefully they'll do the same this week which should mean an entertaining meeting and a Tigers win.

Of course he has also scored less than paid 9 this year and many of his good scores coincide with him being in heat 15. Paid 12 sounds so much better. But of course monarchs got a 5-1 in heat 15 so the score wouldn't have changed unless Richie failed to beat the Kings riders which would have resulted in an unfortunate loss.

Met office weather forecast for possilpark is 90% chance of heavy rain from 4pm onwards. So sympathise with the promotion. Nice to hear from our Edinburgh friends and their comments. Hope Edinburgh doesn't get rained off at heat 9, that would be a shame.

Craig Cook chose the wrong bike for his first two rides - it happens. He changed bikes and scored 8 out of 9 in his last 3 rides. So he didn't do as well as some people hoped, but he certainly wasn't 'well off it'.

With tonights match in Glasgow being postponed I would imagine even more will travel down. Hopefully a big crowd, Rob Grant deserves it, good close racing, all riders stay safe AND Tigers take 3 points!

Based on current green sheet averages, only Bewley, Holder and Masters have a higher average than Craig Cook (not counting Jason Crump who is on an 'assessed' average).

I accept that Wells hasn't been doing well but having been really good the last few days I just wondered what happened tonight and why he got only 3 rides when two other riders that didn't trouble the opposition tonight were given 4 rides.

Can someone who was at the match hazard a guess why Wells only got 3 rides from reserve when winning a race and scoring 4 points and Heeps who got 0pts and Mountain who scored 2pts, one being due to an exclusion, both got 4 rides?

Luke Crang (rising star age 30) is your first change, replacing rising star Joe Lawlor. Who is next?

Wonder if we'll go down the guest route once again or try r/r for Ulrich. Take away Craig Cook and I think both teams are fairly evenly matched with most of the Berwick team having had good performances at Ashfield. Interesting to see how they perform on a track where overtaking is the norm rather than just before bend 2. I'll go for a Tigers win but it will be closer than a lot of people think which should then make the 2nd leg very interesting.
