I wasn't expecting Basso, Tarasenko and Brennan back but i'm surprised that Claus won't be around in 2024

Maybe.

That would be a very strong top 3 and 12.06 for a no. 2 and two reserves should be adequate for next season. I feel Redcar are on the cusp of something and maybe next season will be a winning one.

I had to read that twice.

Brennan has intimated that he won't be racing in the Championship next season

Connor Coles looked more than adequate at reserve this season so he definitely deserves another year at Berwick. However, apart from him and Leon I don't think it would be productive bringing back any of the 2023 team next year.

Just the sort of gibberish I expected from you

Why have Poole not brought in a tactical substitute?

Personally I would've put Lee in for that last one, Ace was almost lapped.

At last! Some exciting racing!

This is what I don't understand. Most Tigers fans consider this exciting racing but it's like watching F1. It's often like this and crowds have dwindled but because Glasgow are winning meetings week in and week out it's "exciting". The Sheffield-Ipswich clash last week had a lot of exciting races and overtaking despite the terrible weather and it was considered "boring". Go figure.

You're telling me! I'll be amazed if this meeting ends before Wednesday's 2nd leg.

I cannot describe this as an exciting meeting. 5 heats staged in 50 minutes and the racing has been processional.

35 minutes in and only 3 heats raced.

Weakest exclusion I've ever seen. Ace can slide off all on his own he doesn't need any pressure put on him to do so

To whoever thought it would be a good idea to hand out those ear piercing air horns to all the kids: I hate you.

I'm looking forward to tonight but i'll be sad to see the racing at Ashfield draw to a close at the end of the proceedings. It's certainly been a very disjointed season this year so hopefully next year will be a lot better in that respect. Here's to a good result tonight (and Wednesday night) and roll on next season!

Isn't the BSN Cup sponsored though (as well as televised) which means actual real money coming into the sport so why would anyone want to scrap that?

No, I'm no longer buying his behaviour and any team which is crazy enough to sign him had better have a ready replacement for when he 'withholds his services' and does another disappearing act again. I can't even see a Premiership team taking a chance on him either.

Tomorrow's looking good for racing, the flooding happened mainly near Bute and as nobody ever goes there it's not really worth worrying about.

No, the entire meeting was exciting. 101 passes don't necessarily make for a good meeting, occasionally it is good track craftsmanship and the unpredictability of a difficult track which makes a meeting great. I'm not sure what anyone else thinks but i'll leave the meeting up here so others can see it if they haven't already: Speedway British Premiership: SHEFFIELD TIGERS v IPSWICH WITCHES - GRAND FINAL, 2ND LEG , OCTOBER 5 - YouTube

I would hate to spend a day inside the mind of Cami Brown

Dry and breezy tomorrow, good call

Whenever Ace falls off he acts like every bone in his body is broken. Every time. Not sure if it's a teenage thing or not.

Tell that to Josh, Doyley and Harris who all took part in some incredible overtaking. But yes it was boring if you say so.
