I thought the football might have been on the telly as well which could have contributed to the crowd level but I don't know if any is on tonight.

No doubt all the climate alarmists in the media will try to tell us it's been "THE HOTTEST JUNE SINCE RECORDS BEGAN!" and everyone will believe it. It is f***ing baltic tonight.

Poor attendance here tonight compared to previous weeks but hopefully the racing will pick up soon

Just wondering how this list is compiled. If entertainment factor is one of the criteria then Pickering should be number one every month.

Where did Paco 2.0 come from and how long is he here for?? He's treating every race he's in like they're heat 14! Almost a maximum against the Tigers and now 10 from 4 rides against the Cheetahs. He's been fantastic this month, definitely the most improved rider in the Championship.

Ben was always going to leave the Campionship after last season but i agree about Claus. However, apart from Anders Rowe, which other regular rider has been squeezed out of the Championship this year due to the drop in averages who actually wanted a team place this season?

Two new track records broken in both heats 1 and 2!

Poor attendance today but the track looks great so I'm hoping for some great racing

I'd completely forgotten about the u21 final until it was mentioned at Armadale last night. I hope the Tigers lads do well but the racing was good last year and well worth the admission. I'm looking forward to it and the weather should be glorious.

I honestly couldn't disagree more and judging by most of your posts on this forum (especially to me) your only addition to every debate is to be deliberately obtuse. If I'd said it was poor racing, you'd have said it was the best you'd ever seen so your thoughts on last night's action don't interest me in the slightest.

Vissing is very much missed right now although he wouldn't have affected the result tonight. It's the manager. He couldn't fail last year after Tarasenko came in (although he came very close to fumbling the ball against Oxford).

So you didn't stay for heats 13, 14 and 15 then?

Those passes by Paco in 14 were breathtaking. I've got to admit the Monarchs simply wanted this more tonight. The Tigers were stale and didn't approach this track very well at all. I don't recall seeing a single Tiger make a pass tonight.

I spoke too soon! There's been some amazing overtaking on bends 3 and 4 in the past two heats. Cookie riding that kerb was sublime. Felt sorry for Paco after his overtake though when the race was stopped.

There only seems to be one racing line on bends 3 and 4. Hopefully that will change soon

Paco is up for it tonight. He's flying!

Your glass definitely sounds half empty. Don't throw in the towel just yet, things aren't that bad *Although I agree about Starkey. He's had a stinker of a start to the season

Looking forward to tonight, it's a shame about Lee's ban as he was the heart and soul of last year's Tigers team but he shouldn't have been such an idiot. He'll be missed though. In terms of the result I think Glasgow could swing it just like the Monarchs swung it last week due to them being the hungrier team on the night.

I feel sorry for the Redcar supporters who made their way up to Glasgow tonight in what turned out to be a late wash-out but at least they'll be able to spend all day tomorrow in the city centre shoplifting.

So the next home meeting is June 21st?

The good news is the rain has stopped. The bad news is I passed a family of otters swimming down the Garscube Road

What are you doing on the Kingston Bridge? The Tigers race at Ashfield

Thank you Captain Sensible

I agree. H&S has made everything that used to be exciting a lot more sterile and far less enjoyable.

I noticed your post got none
