I'm just amazed you've managed to post so much so quickly since you joined. My first two comments took two months to get approved

Pretty sure it’s a guest for Ace tonight.

From a riders' point of view, it gives riders outside the playoffs a better chance of a payday.

I hope not, because I want to go to that! And I suspect there’s a decent number who would like to support Connor in it too.

Nothing like that many, sadly. I've heard one person say 1,000. There are no official figures though.

I understood you. Yes, I think Cami probably wanted the others to have the same number of rides. Also, Ben didn't score well in his first two rides, so it gave him the chance to earn a bit more rent money.

Glasgow will face both Oxford and Redcar home and away. Not sure about Friday. Rider logistics are complicated, and only one of Glasgow and Redcar can be at home next Friday.

Possible, or maybe as they won the Pairs last week. Or maybe they were just more up for it.

Oh, we will have fun. I wanted Redcar and Oxford. Proper racers and two highly entertaining home legs, we hope.

If I’d known, I might have made the trip for this, as I’ve not made it to Berwick this season. But if they can’t be bothered, I can’t either.

How much is he getting paid?

BSN will show each team equally if they can. It doesn't serve them to be seen to show favouritism to any team, regardless of reasoning.

Didn't look like it was on its arse in Glasgow tonight. I think anyone who came, whoever they support, was thoroughly entertained and I can't think anyone regretted spending their money at Ashfield tonight. It did go on a bit, but it didn't seem like many cared given what they saw.

Parking’s free at Armadale when it’s a lake!

Basso, I think.

I’m hearing Leicester might have time to hold the home leg this year

We can’t. We are at Redcar on Sunday.

I don't think there were any Fridays both Oxford and Glasgow had free, or that weren't affected by riders appearing somewhere else. Understandable for both teams to want to be full strength. I think there was one week the teams could do but there were already other events on and it was asking too much of the track staff. That's the other thing we often overlook - some people take time off work to volunteer in order for us to get our fix. They give up a lot, but they still need to earn their living.

Not sure they had many options with this match.

I would put Brennan at 2, Tarasenko at 5, and keep Claus and Ben together.

Great pairing, that!

That's why he wasn't there, we had him getting it ready

Fantastic win, well deserved. Beat Poole, Oxford and Redcar five times from five heats. Redcar well worthy of second, Lewis Kerr was brilliant most of the night for Oxford too. Batch needs dispatched.

Coin toss.

The thing is, you don’t win anything with racers.
