Brilliant from Howarth, but Flint.🤮 52-38 flatters us. That should have been 60-30, at very least.

Spot on. I’m watching and he shouldn’t have. Hodder was doing 15MPH though and Palm Toft was only doing 12MPH though, so it happened. Having said that, all credit to him.

Delighted with that, but for the purpose of consistency, these sorts of meetings can’t be allowed. You’ll have seen more comfortable riding at one of Scott Nicholls’ novice training schools than Palm Toft chasing Hodder there.

Who is on co-comms with the usual BSN guy?

I’m by no means an expert on bike set-up, but how are these conditions identical for both sides, yet the home side are cruising? Workington, I understood. Those were fair conditions that the home side prepared to their advantage which they’re within their right to do. However, Edinburgh couldn’t have prepared for the rain, could they? Either way, it’s disgrace of a speedway meeting. This is two long-time Scottish rivals in a key, end-of-season fixture and what we’re watching is follow the leader. Blur out the race suits and I’d think a few of these races were NDL heat twos.

Between the depleted Glasgow line-up and this track, it just makes a mockery of the sport. Abandon the meeting and replay it on another date. I couldn’t make it due to work, but this even renders my BSN subscription a waste of money.

I wouldn’t even entertain them mate. Ignore them. If you’re a neutral and that’s your first meeting, you’re never coming back. End of.

Very true. This track has made me wonder whether it’s Chris or Cruz we’ve got at number one. You’re not allowed to criticise this track though. Accept it, tolerate a sub-par product and watch the sport die in this country because if that’s been Workington’s racing this season (a Comet on the last page said he gave today a miss for that very reason), then no wonder gates are low and funding challenges exist.

A grown adult telling me there are proper fans because I’m calling a spade a spade and criticising the track.😂 Sorry if I hurt your feelings, little man. 10 races, 1 pass after the first lap. Speedway in this country will die thanks to this sort of thing. Fair play to Workington though. They’ve managed to make Chris Harris’ bike look like a sleeping tablet.

This, 100%. Track to one side, that is the difference between us and Poole.

It’s utterly painful to watch. Ten heats, one pass beyond the first lap.

Heat nine and we witness the first pass beyond the first lap. Is this sort of issue even a topic of discussion with British speedway’s powers that be, or are they fully focused on merely surviving? We’re getting battered here, so I’m conscious this may come across bitter, but you can’t hide from reality. Stene Pijper, God love him, should not be in this meeting. He’s nowhere near it.

What’s the script with replacing Max Perry this afternoon? Are there any restrictions in place for replacing a 2.00 rider or one on such short notice? If not and with all due respect to the young man, Stene Pijper is drastically out of his depth and will not score a point today, barring excisions and/or mechanical gremlins. There’s an entire NDL. Surely there are better options.

Oh, shut up, will you?!😂 Only joking. Whether it’s heat one or fifteen, a track can be prepared for racing. This hasn’t been, to the extent you’re even giving it a miss. I wouldn’t pay to watch this live either. Take note, @CTD26.

I can only assume you had a bad upbringing, given you deem it appropriate for your first interaction with a random person to be ”oh shut up”.
