I’m not sure, but the programme for tonight’s Glasgow match might give us a clue, as the track record was broken last week (as the track length has changed). I believe the Speedway Star listed it as a new track record this week…

Why would he bother to show up and leave points money for someone else?

You can use it for any match this season.

I think most speedway riders make the money they can, when they can. They're always someone else's accident from being out for the season, so why worry about it too much?

I assume the result must stand for the guest appearance to count.

Yes, that's what he's doing at the moment.

Yeah, and Claus was booked weeks ago. Also, Tom is at the Under 23s this weekend with Leon, so he wasn't an option anyway.

I prefer Claus over Leon full stop - definitely makes us stronger. Looking forward to this one.

I reckon Craig will be fine this season. He looked decent to me, probably just needs a few more meetings to really settle in. But I don’t think many people will be questioning his signing come the end of the season.

Ah yes, I remember that!

Might be best to avoid 19 May as that’s the final day of some league football in Scotland.

Let's hope he doesn't steal a march at the tapes.

Yes, they both do. Only Bomber frantically grabs every corner of his Kevlar just before lining up at the tapes after going for his spin though. The guy can’t keep still!

Ace doesn't upset other riders as far as I see. Ashton hasn't endeared himself to everyone (although they do seem to have some kind of extra personal beef with each other), so I wouldn't read too much into that, and I'm genuinely not sure why Connor took exception last night. There wasn't a lot in it. Ace isn't the Glasgow rider I'd be worried about upsetting others

I wonder if Edinburgh might try to rearrange their Plymouth fixture for their home match against us, leaving us to race on an off-night for our fixture. It would mess up the BSN semi date if we get there, but I suspect that will happen anyway.

Max squeezez Ace, who in turn squeezed Connor. It was a simple case of not enough room for three. Connor was slightly behind the other two and closest to the fence. He didn’t do much wrong but ran out of room, and by then, the ref couldn’t really put all four back in. Connor wasn’t happy, but Ace was never going to turn the throttle off and let a guy pass him on the outside.

Jim McGregor.

I think we'll hear that from a few people.

Not successfully, no.

I have just checked now. The substances were revealed in the SCB press release after the hearing. Previous press releases didn't specify.

One thought I had is, we could run the rematch as a double header. Glasgow home meeting on the outside track, Edinburgh can use the inside track for their "home" meeting

Yeah, the rain came when I expected it to, but much, much heavier than expected. To be honest, I'm glad Bomber was late. If he hadn't been, I think we'd all be disappointed we'd seen only 10 heats.

When he rode for Glasgow, I lived in the other Tiger city and watched them instead!

The promotions agreed to delay the start. Presumably the Edinburgh promotion didn't want cheap points, and I'm sure we'd agree the same if it were the other way round. I presume the referee (or Edinburgh) said it had to be no more than 15 minutes, which is fair. Glasgow were prepared to put Ace in heat one if it came to it, but I think it was a sensible accomodation.

Good meeting, for the seven heats we had. The call off means I'm getting good value out of the season ticket already too. Starke needs to get his bikes working, Leon needs more speed, the rest looks fine. Sam Hagon a brilliant guest, and I think I've only ever seen Craig Cook win off 15 metres before at Ashfield. Paco looked good in his first ride for once, and I did like seeing Lasse's pass on Leon. I think he's under-rated. Hopefully he stays injury-free this season. Next week will be interesting - could be a few changes to the lineups when we face Berwick.
