Micman you wont need thermals, im sure your match race with Michael Max will warm us all up

The meeting will also be the first raced under floodlights at Ashfield, certainly in the present day period. Craig McCurdy posted this on easytiger on Tuesday night - "I am pleased to confirm that the floodlight trial went exceptionally well at Ashfield tonight. Courtesy of A-Plant we had three diesel operated 9m high floodlights at the track which illuminated the first and second turns. James took to the track on his mini motocross bike and was delighted, to say the least, with the conditions. We will have substantial lighting in place for Sunday afternoon and intend to have the lights on from the start of the meeting (4pm). it will mean that we can comfortably get through the meeting with the last few heats, featuring a top scorers race as a grand finale, probably raced under the floodlights to maximum effect". So it promises to be an exciting end to a dismal season in Glasgow, aslong as the weather is kind. It should be good watching PK and Freddie in the top scorers race under floodlights in the final action of the season, thats if they get there

the one and only SUPER STEVE LAWSON has agreed to slide the bike at the meeting. its gona be cold so im wondering if the famous duffel coat will also make an appearance

james now has a facebook page for the testimonial. we couldnt think of a good title for the page so its just called JAMES GRIEVES TESTIMONIAL 2010 everybody welcome to join.

a few big names being added to the field this week, all will be revealed very very soon

edinburgh could always run it by the BSPA if they have any issues

good on yi

yes a very 'strange' decision to move a challenge match to clash with this meeting. i can imagine the frustration the organisers of this meeting must feel, frustration maybe putting it mildly how many glasgow and edinburgh fans had planned to head down for this no-one knows, 150 maybe ? i wish michal and the organisers of this meeting the very best of luck, i hope its a big success

SHANE PARKER confirmed today he will race in James' meeting

no i disagree that its entirely the wrong question, edinburgh can obviously charge what they want but the price of entry certainly doesnt encourage non edinburgh fans to attend. if i had to persuade my other half to go aswell as bringing the two boys then its a hefty price to see the 7 monarchs and 2 elite league guys who are familiar faces to scottish fans, especially when you consider mcgowan screen grieves barker kennett and schlien are in glasgow 2 days later. that said i hope both meetings are a big success

thats incredable when you think on it, i wonder how embra can justify that price

also ment to add that Wolves' TY PROCTOR has agreed to race at the testimonial
