No you never lol , that was just silly

Heat 6 wasn't too shabby either , hotting up nicely

Well done Chris Harris , cracking race

Maybe , but what choice did the lad have . Shafted by Belle Vue when promised a team place during the winter . The Horlicks that was made of the averages has kept him out of the top league , so he has to take the opening when it arrived . As long as it doesn't affect his Glasgow form , I hope the lad proves a few folk wrong .

Edinburgh's better looking sister track

Good to see Ben has recovered from his illness at the weekend , not looking too ill in the pits at Wolverhampton tonight .

Exactly , i'm more worried about the travelling Richie will have to do , it's a fair trek between Poole and Glasgow . So as long as his form and points scoring for Glasgow isn't affected by riding for his second team , then fair enough .

Of course he uses it , a bit girly maybe , but he likes to join in the fun here

The suspicion is that it looks like he's doing a Wolbert

That's why I never mentioned them , I witnessed that lamentable performance at Berwick the other week

Can't add to that , summed up the British performance completely . What an enigma Lindback is , he looked superb last night , as he does in GP's from time to time too , but equally he turns in some stinkers . But credit the Swedes , Poland was always going to win last night as their conveyer belt of talent is quite scary , but the Swedes hung in there and kept them honest .

Looking more and more like Glasgow , Ipswich , Sheffield and possibly Edinburgh . Big couple of weeks coming up with Glasgow visiting Berwick and Scunthorpe , while Ipswich host Sheffield and visit Newcastle tonight . Edinburgh need more on the road to be more secure , Worky's home defeat last night will have damaged their chances and , despite winning at Redcar , Peterborough have possibly too much to do

That was always going to be the case over there , and Harris done as well as he could in the final . It's a shame that the top league shuts down for that week , but yet we're supposed to just carry on with loads of guests or rider replacement . The World Cup shouldn't be a yearly event anyway , between that and the silly joker , it's just a novelty event with it's importance watered down .

Very possibly , but I don't think he would have coped with Summers , or Lawson , especially in the early part of the meeting . They were that good

He had a legitimate excuse , that was Exeter Anyway , agree with what everyone has said , enjoyable and interesting meeting with solid performances on both sides . For us Aaron was brilliant , Richard messed up his maximum by going too wide on bend 4 in heat 15 , yes Dan and Richie had below par nights , but both still produced important race wins just at the right time . Nike had his best meeting for a long time , and although our two reserves had the bulk of the last places , they still rode above their average and 5-1'd heat 2 . Starke and Ostergaard done their job superbly for the Panthers , while Holder was exciting if a little erratic at times . Wilson Dean and Carr didn't offer much , but Bacon at 7 was solid and got better as the meeting went on , probably the best visiting number 7 that's been to Ashfield this season . R/R for Barker yielded 8 points from the four programmed rides , so not really that much down from what Barker , or even Harris , would have scored .

White powder will aggravate your sinus' I would imagine . And I thought it was an , erm , migraine he had that day lol

Not something normally heard on the Foxhall terraces

Aye they made them tougher back in the day . I remember Danny Bird riding at Glasgow one night , and throwing up in the pits ...................ok bad example

Very true , and since that was a Berwick fan that posted that statement , you would think he'd be watching his own side tonight anyway . It's , of course , very disappointing that any scheduled rider is missing , but it happens and there's enough good riders in the Peterborough side tonight to make it a test for us and make it an entertaining encounter .

Erm number 16 in a wee individual meeting in South Wales the following evening .

Interesting meeting coming up tomorrow night . Panthers the only team to give us a doing , so we want to repay the compliment . We should be at full strength , assuming Aaron comes through his wee bit of overtime tonight unscathed . As for the Panthers , a fine win at Redcar last night keeps their faint play off hopes alive , but no Chris Harris tomorrow as he is away riding in some Mickey Mouse meeting in Poland I believe . Our old friend Ben Barker stands in and he looks back to his best this season . Dunno if Ostergaard is riding tomorrow , as he missed Redcar last night , but they will come here full of confidence . But it's more to do how we perform , and revenge for that blip we had down there should be enough of a spur to get us the three points and stay in touch with Edinburgh and Ipswich .

God Sakes Jenga , you gave me a wee fright when I read the title of the thread . Then it dawned on me you meant Sheffield lol

You all have to keep at it , the alternative doesn't bear thinking about . I remember plenty of seasons like the one youre having , at Glasgow . Have faith you'll come out the other end .

Does to the pedantic few

Dan had his learning curve at Edinburgh last year , he has enough experience of small tracks .
