Not the change in time. Definitely not at lunchtime. Long afterwards. Anyway, it was abandoned after 12 heats so i saved £20.

Yeah genius but that was edited probably at around 5pm the last time i checked it. Originally it didn't say anything about a time change and then that news item was taken down completely from the site for a couple of hours until they had edited it.

There's sweet FA on the Tigers website about the switch in kick-off time,what a wasted journey I've just had. I'm not on Twitter so how was I supposed know about this change? Shocking

I didn't know this fixture had been changed to 6:30pm, I checked the BSPA site right up until 3pm and I got to the stadium at 6:40pm. I'm not going in, I'll save the money instead. What a sh1tshow. I think this is the final straw for me, I doubt I'll be back.

I like Kye but sadly "poor" is an understatement. He was terrible at Ashfield and looked worse than the Tigers' reserves. I wasn't surprised when he got hooked from his planned fourth ride.

If the Monarchs get past Workington in the KO cup then there will be EIGHT meetings between Edinburgh and Glasgow this season. That's really good for the fans methinks.

That would have been the sensible thing to do.

Not bringing in Palovaara for Castagna in heat 14 was a big mistake by the Edinburgh manager. An eight point rider being beaten easily by Freddy Hodder is a bad look and it was always going to happen.

I spoke too soon but it was as I expected. The tractor came out and sprinkled a dribble of water on the outer tip of the third bend and then drove around aimlessly for four laps before disappearing. I've sprayed more aftershave under my armpits than the tractor sprayed on track.

"Track prep shouldn't pose too many problems". Then why do I currently look like one of the sand people from star wars? A bit more water on the track wouldn't go amiss

Think that's harsh on Berwick who will be fielding Kildemand, Cook and Kemp in their top 3. Sam Hagon is also a lot better than both Glasgow reserves so i'll expect him to take at least 5 rides tonight. The Tigers have a very tough task on their hands. [Edit] For some reason your comment about Berwick in its entirety never came up in this response post for some reason. This forum is glitchy af

Being beaten at home by a side which at the start of the season looked pretty bad on paper is not a good look for Glasgow.

Thankfully the new Donut van came to the rescue

Why is there always a "20 minute wait" for chips at Ashfield? Why is there never any foresight or a second fryer?

Weather looks grim. Might get called off.

Dan T had a good meeting for Team GB if this race is anything to go by:

The last thing anyone should do if going through mental health problems is to turn their back on what they loved doing. A lot of sports stars have come to regret walking away whilst their careers were in full swing. I'm pretty sure he won't feel any better being an ex-rider. Sometimes you've just got to ride the storm until it has passed. Just my opinion on the matter.

This is the most dialled in prediction i have seen in all my years on Speedway Forum although the top 4 is a given as they are easily the best looking line-ups. The only thing i would change is switching Oxford and Workington to 5)Workington and 6) Oxford. Apart from that i 100% agree with your take on the upcoming season.

The 1-5 is the best in the league and Freddy Hodder will be one of the better reserves. It's a very scary looking team indeed and it has league champions written all over it. A great team-build by the Tigers this season and if Ashton continues to improve at the rate he is improving then don't be surprised if Glasgow have 5 heat leaders by the time the play-offs come around

I'm no team manager but i don't think that's the best way to build a team

Paco was mostly a sub-six-pointer before this season and his >7 point average last year was due in part to the league being a lot weaker than in many years as well as his stint as a 2nd-stringer for most of the season. There isn't much between Kye, Lasse and Paco and if you are seriously suggesting that Paco is way ahead of those two then you are very wrong indeed. Lasse was unlucky last year with injuries and his position within the team and most fans would agree that his average should have been higher than it was. He's almost 2 and a half points lower than Paco and i would choose him on that basis alone.

True but it's not far off though. Sedgman, Palovaara and Grahn have signed and i'm sure Max will be back which would leave over 20 points for the last three riders. With an improvement from young Max and a quick transition to British speedway for Mr Grahn this could end up looking a really good team but i still think those 20 points could be allocated better than on a Paco/Thomson combo. This line-up for example: 1 [True number 1] <8.81/8.23 2 Palovaara 5.00 3 Thomson/Paco 6.53/7.11 4 Grahn 5.00 5 Sedgman 7.92 6 Lasse 4.74 7 James 2.00 31.19/31.77 [8.81/8.23]
