We had hoped to have had more Brits in the team and thought about Adam Ellis but he was born in France. We wondered if Mark Loram could be persuaded to make a comeback but he was born in Malta. Meanwhile we were keen to welcome back Connor Bailey as he was not only an up and coming rider but also a decent personable young man. He was signed for last year and was on the BSPL rising star list for 2021. Unfortunately he was prevented initially from returning to the UK due to the Covid pandemic. So alls well that ends well. Welcome back Connor.

Another good entertaining match on Friday. When Kennett won heat 5 followed home by Tom Brennan I thought here we go and then when Jake Knight and Brennan did the same in heat 8 for the Eagles to take a 2 point lead I thought this is going to be tougher than I even thought. In the end the result looked comfortable but it was a lot closer than the score looks helped by a sublime ride by Cook in heat 15 - see https://fb.watch/6o4VUQd9rr/

Good. It was apparently a bit slick for the GP qualifier and the racing was brilliant.

Mixed fortunes last night in the Premier league last night for Craig, Broc, Justin and Ricky. Hopefully they will be all a bit more race fit after these matches and haven't knackered themselves or their bikes.

You've clearly not been looking. He is in the country and putting a couple of bikes together and hopes to be racing soon.

This should be a cracker with the return of Richard Lawson and Lewis Kerr, not to mention the very impressive Tom Brennan. Kennett and Newman are no slouches and Drew Kemp had some impressive laps at Saturday's GP qualifier. Their rising star is Jason Edwards who scored 13 points and finished third in the British Under 21 semi final at Redcar recently. This will be close and I'd imagine a fair number of Eastbourne fans and Tigers 'haters' will be purchasing the live stream at only £11.95 - see link Home | Glasgow Tigers Speedway You have to register and then follow the onscreen instructions. As a taster of the the action, here's two heats from the Grand Prix qualifier https://fb.watch/v/arjRfeFG9/ and https://fb.watch/v/1M7HJe1kT/

What a brilliant meeting at Glasgow, shame about the delay, hope both Tero and Bradley are OK. Just checked the updates site again and the updater who used the stream to do the updates says at the end it wasn't worth the money. Give me strength.

Just love speedway fans. With the delay at Glasgow due to a bad crash I checked out the updates site to see how it was being reported and if there were any comments and it's full of moaning so and sos.

The cameras need camera operators! Do you think they get paid the same fee no matter whether its a one hour, two hour or 3 hour production? And as others have said purchase one stream get your family and friends around with a few beers, seems like a bargain to me.

A few people seem have had similar problems as Tyretrax. So suggest you keep trying if you want to get along to Ashfield, you may still be lucky and get a ticket. If not there is at least the option to book the stream.

Firstly I wasn't there but interesting to read the comments and really glad that the meeting was exciting. Yet on updates a number of heats were described as ftg. This shows you don't need loads of passing in every race to have a good match. Two determined teams, fans from both sides, uncertainty and surprises they to me are what makes a good match plus of course some overtaking. Well done to both teams particularly Redcar. Sadly a few glasgow fans are being a wee bit negative on other websites. We were never going to go through the season unbeaten, speedway isn't the same as Scottish football. So if we were going to lose I'm glad it was to a decent team, on a decent track with a decent promoter.

Well thankfully that was a bit easier than I thought. Still think Redcar are a good team and will be there or thereabouts come the playoffs.

Tickets for this match are sold out according to the official web site however the good news is you can still purchase a streaming pass Events | Glasgow Tigers Speedway You have to register and once you have done that proceed to purchase - costs £11.95. For an example of stream quality and all Cookie haters see pinned post on this link (2) Glasgow Tigers Speedway | Facebook Redcar are a really good team so this will be a difficult one for the Tigers and could see the end of their undefeated run. Hope I'm wrong

Your getting ahead of yourself, we don't race Redcar until Friday and that will be a difficult match particularly with your favourite rider at reserve for the Bears

Nothing like an informed comment

Glad that Rory isn't badly hurt. Thought the streaming of the match went well, good production and nice to actually hear and understand the riders interviews, doesn't always happen over speedway PAs. Craig Cook's last to first against King and Worrall was superb. Hope it gets shown on the SpeedwayGB page. For Poole, Ben Cook looks to be a good prospect. Hope the promotion are getting good numbers buying a pass. Next week another difficult one with Redcar, including former Tigers Charles Wright and James Sarjeant, being a real threat.

Nice comments by Steve Worrall in post match interview praising the track for being really smoothe

Was that race better? Last to first from Craig against Worrall and King.

"Cook has a story" who does that remind you of.....

When you've been in lockdown does make a summer

He did not bad tonight

You'll be glad you went for Scott Nichols instead of a NL junior then?

She doesnae wear stilettos

You'll need more than a couple of cooks to stir up the witches cauldron - wooden spoon beckons.

I hope you get your wish
