Glasgow announce they will be streaming their matches, more information on their facebook page (3) Glasgow Tigers Speedway | Facebook with more details to follow

As everyone knows injuries will play a key part as will signing riders that may become available particularly when averages change. Does anyone know what happens to 'rising stars', are they protected? How does the situation at Leicester work when they have 2 new rising stars and one old rising star - the Thompson twins and Bates . Could two of then be replaced by non rising stars as long as one remains and if so what are the chances that changes will be made?

The management committee could always bring in a rule that any team that receives a grant from the Scottish government will not be allowed to compete in the UK league because its not fair.

After what happened at the weekend in Glasgow there could be a spike in cases at a time when all the sacrifices we have made in Scotland plus vaccinations seemed to be bringing the virus down to manageable levels. And yes it did look as if everything was pointing to a positive announcement just before the Scottish Government elections. With the possible spike in cases who knows what will happen. Just hope that spectator sports including both speedway teams don't end up having to suffer a targeted lockdown as a result of the behaviour of one football teams fans.

Or Workington

Just love the word 'suggests' which suggests you don't know but heh ...... So - - I would suggest that as he has a UK passport; didn't need a work permit in 2019; rode for the Belle Vue Colts, a NDL team, in 2019 then that clearly makes him 'British' in the eyes of the UK government and British Speedway governing body. Throw in the fact that he is only 18, having arrived in the UK when only 16, ending up with an 8.55 average for the Colts just after a few months, this alone should be enough to make him a rising star - better average than team mate Danny Phillips who is ranked as a 2* rider. Plus he won't be the first rider to take advantage of being able to ride in Australian championship meetings. For example, Tai Woffinden won the 2006 Western Australian Under-16 title, in Perth.

He was due to ride at Cowra for the U21 NSW Title which has been delayed until tomorrow due to rain!

Wouldn't be surprised if they are also giving advice to Donald Trump

And that of course is why we no longer catch a cold or the flu.... Cos they've gone away

No one did it better than Neil Macfarlane at Glasgow o

What a classy statement

Too busy helping out at the stadium, looking forward to seeing our season tickets, checking that our tigers jackets will last another year, planning our holidays so we can support our team home and away. I could go on, just excited that's not long before the season starts. Hope all speedway fans have a great time supporting their team.

Why post something like this? Perhaps he's just tired, feels its time to sit back and is really pleased that someone has come forward to take over the reins. Take a bow Mr English for all you have done for the Diamonds and speedway.

Totally shocked by this sad news. He was loved by the Glasgow fans. RIP Danny

Surprised no one has mentioned that GB are in action against a Rest of the World team at Glasgow on Saturday 18 April 2020.

If I was a Monarchs fan I'd be a lot more confident of not being slain this year than in recent years. I think they will come through thinking they could win rather than than just coming through to get a reminder of what fast exciting speedway looks like

Not at all the 100 Edinburgh fans would try to get in through the the pits gate and wouldn't buy anything unlike the Glasgow fans. The use of the word customers was deliberate

Very simplistic point of view. You are assuming the same number of Glasgow and Edinburgh fans will attend no matter the day or time which we all know is nonsense. As an example let's assume 900 Glasgow fans attend Glasgow on a Friday night but only 650 on a Saturday night. They might be lucky and get 100 Edinburgh fans so would be worse off by 250 customers. As has been said fans can still do a northern tour and these fans say 50 are a welcome bonus but the bottom line is that both Glasgow and Edinburgh need to race when they can maximise attendance by there own fans and presumably that's why they both race on a Friday. Doesn't suit every fan but nothing will.

So that's why they left the monarchs! Thanks for confirming what we all knew, the Armadale track isn't 'perfect'

Segment? Which part?

I wasn't going to comment but fairs fair, you do talk a lot of sense (sometimes)

Presumably you'll wait until the new averages are out on May the 4th before signing Luke

Thought it just said he won't be riding with Kyle Bickley next year

and hopefully, quickly discounted it

Is this based on insider knowledge being a Peterborough fan, or your unbelievable abilities with a calculator - has the points limit been agreed and approved yet. or are you copying the Phil the Ace post from page 9. have to say the boy Nicol is going to be busy riding for at least half of the teams in CL
