"New signing Edward Kennett – a 28-day replacement for Erik Riss – makes his debut for Cheetahs. Kennett brings a wealth of experience to Cheetahs – the 39-year-old twice finished second in the British Final, while he was British Under-21 Champion in both 2005 and 2007." This was from the 2nd of June so 28 days would have been the last day of June. I'm honestly not sure whether he has signed another 28-day replacement contract (which would expire on the 28th of July) or whether he is just guesting now for Oxford until the situation with Riss becomes fully known.

That's a good quality reserve.

There are some negative things to say and i happened to say them. If there weren't any negative things then there would probably be bigger attendances but i've noticed them falling over the past season or so and i've heard from some fans that say that they aren't always comfortable at the speedway. Obviously your experiences are always wonderful and that's fantastic, i'm extremely glad about that. Plus, in my 'rant', i also complimented the staff at Ashfield who are always great so i wasn't being completely negative. This is a forum not Woodstock. Not everything said here is always going to be groovy, man.

What does he normally throw?

And lose out on the BSN money? Not a very bright thing to do.

Cami said it all came down to the choice of guests and whilst i agree with him saying that Drew had an awful night you have to quantify it with Justin Sedgmen also having a nightmare afternoon and scoring the exact same points as Kemp. If Howarth had been at number 1 and if Sedgy had scored his usual points around Ashfield the score wouldn't have been very much different from what it was. Kye and Dan were head and shoulders above all the home riders and if the Tigers are going to keep Chris at number 3 so he can't compete in heat 13 against the best that the opposition has to muster then Glasgow are going to keep having nights like this when having your best riders in the biggest heats will often swing a meeting. Why is Chris at 3 competing against the opposition's second string at the business end of the meeting anyway? Is this another example of tactical genius from Cami once again?

Mystic Meg is in the house!

The worst thing i saw at Ashfield was home fans in the main stand throwing bottles and other projectiles at the two Leicester riders who were doing a well deserved victory lap after the end of heat 14 after they clinched the title in 2019. There's an element (albeit a small one) within the Glasgow support who are not very nice and i've noticed this creeping in over the past few years. 'Loutish' some would call it. Ashfield is not always the warmest and happiest place to be due to a minority of the fans although the staff are always lovely and hard working the whole year through and they deserve a mention because their work often goes unheralded.

Strange not to see a Glasgow vs Edinburgh thread today

Vinnie has been going great this season. He's also got good experience of the specialist Ashfield track having competed in a few u21 events in Glasgow. Pedersen, Hagon and Hodder have been up and down all season and can't always be trusted. Perry knows the track well too and Wood never does well at Ashfield and as for Kennett, who knows what he will be like on the day. I don't think Oxford stand a chance tonight anyway.

It's rigged anyway.

Oh there's PLENTY of benefits money left for the immigrants, don't you worry your pretty little head about that.

Nicholls is having a great season. So too is Kye. It was a good meeting and it's amazing what they have done down there at Plymouth. The promotion have really pushed speedway and created something to boast about. From tiny acorns etc.

Good hard riding from young Cooper, Jye just couldn't find the outside gap he wanted. Throwing punches at a rider who was on his bike was disgraceful although it was a rubbish punch.

The thing about last Friday's fixture is that the flash storm was expected to start at 3pm and finish at 7pm. In reality there was only a 15 minute downpour at 3pm and then it was nice again. Cancelling the meeting was a bit too impulsive imo.
