So did we . 9 points from our top two clearly isnt good enough .

And by the same token , we must have our best chance for a few seasons to get a result at Owlerton . As long as our mechanical issues dont resurface

I'm off to your old stomping ground , Sunny Beach , a week on Friday . So can you message me best places to go to ?

Deary me , ask a simple question and you get that .

What is known about Lasse Fredriksen ?

Better meeting than i thought it was going to be . Worky's three scorers kept it interesting without ever looking threatening to get anything . Certainly if one of the missing riders had been there it would have been closer . Still you can only beat what's in front of you , and on that respect it was job done . We're still missing a points scoring reserve to make us contenders though .

Another meeting ruined . Better if it is rained off .

Maybe not , but when you have a reserve scoring double figures away from home you should have half a chance . Certainly when your number 7 scores 11 you should expect to get more than 32 .

Why are they missing ?

Despite all the gripes about the rules , as a speedway fan I thought it was fantastic entertainment

Exactly , easy for us to sit on our couches and criticise , any one of us would have took second place at the start of the week

Absolutely , we might be disappointed tonight , but we have real hope for the future

That is tough to take , but we can be proud of our boys . Speedway the winner though , that was fantastic

Both Poles are on a warning , that could come back to bite them on the arse . Hopefully in the final

Hope Denmark put the Poles out here

This is just incredible . My only worry is 2nd and 3rd wins the final

Long live the speedway of nations , the world cup is dead . The qualifiers might have been average , but this is amazing . Come on Great Britain

I enjoyed last night too , very entertaining meeting which could have went either way . Was tight throughout and when we got to the business end you couldn' with any confidence pick a winner . Heat 13 was excellent , Harris and Worrall made the start over Nicholls , but exiting bend 2 Nicholls picked up some grip , lifted and went into the side of Worrall . Accidental it might have been , but it got Nicholls into 2nd place and triggered off the red mist in Worrall which contributed to a terrific race and also a bit of afters going back up the ramp to the pits . The same protagonists reappeared for heat 15 with the scores level , but this time the Tigers duo roared from the tapes and made no mistake to score the meeting clinching 5-1 , though Nicholls and Worrall still managed a long and intense looking conversation on the warm down lap . Exciting meeting with a last heat decider , it's why we love it .

It's always hit and miss with guests , every side's supporters have guest horror stories to tell

More to do with the gulf in class between the nation's rather than the track . The final is shaping up to be a cracking meeting and if it is we'll soon forget the turgid qualifiers . Every sport has these mis matches during a qualifying process .

I'm sure it will get better once the big nations clash . Lambert very impressive

I wasn't there on Friday as i had something else on , Fridays aren't great for me , but is that all we had ? With the time and effort , ok and money , that has been put into promoting the sport in Glasgow , and we get a crowd that small - then the game is up and there's really no hope for the future of team speedway in this country .

Well aye true , you only have to avoid defeat , but that still involves the forces of evil winning .

What a predicament . We're now in the position of actually wanting Edinburgh to beat Workington for us to progress . No self respecting Tigger ever wants that mob winning ......ever . But here we are in that very position . Our semi final place in the hands of the forces of evil . I suppose there is the possibility of Workington going to the dump on Friday and winning and us both qualifying , but that's too iffy . So through gritted teeth we have to hope Workington's miserable Armadale record continues on Friday .

Very humid , but no rain so far
