It's getting boring now , yes we know Berwick have covers

Track at Edinburgh tonight seems to have been tricky , we've had an awful lot of rain this week .

Been horrendously wet up here all week

That's a new rule , injury rider replacement

Thanks Dan , hopefully we'll be ok

Don't like the look of the weather forecast tomorrow , if they call it off I hope it's before we leave Glasgow

Canny be too many left that aren't riding for two clubs

Well they have done , they've saved a couple of meetings that would have been rained off .

Please no , sick to death of hearing about those track covers lol

I'm sure thoughts like that were and wont be entertained

8.30a.m. are youse all jaikeys in Worky ? Anyway Jenga , time to stop having a jealous pop at us and knock your promotion and the Geordies heads together and get the KO Cup replay run , I want to see the quarter final before Halloween .

What time's the curfew ? And where will I find this 65p beer ?

oh dear

Nah Buster's the Imperial Wizard , the Dark Lord just sits in the corner pulling the legs out spiders now .

When Buster Chapman took over from the Dark Lord , did he not say it was time to rip up the rulebook and start again . Seems to be more confusing than ever now .

I know that , but had this been Redcar v Berwick , Jenga wouldn't even have noticed . But you're right , it sets a dangerous precedent . Awarding a meeting after heat 10 is nonsense enough , mitigating circumstances or not , it's not good starting to award meetings before that .

Agreed , though the opening poster is obsessed with Glasgow/ Peterborough / Somerset and needs no encouragement to let rip .

Stewart Dickson was the man on the grassy knoll apparently

I understand the frustration , a meeting should run 15 heats before a result counts . But promoters have been eroding the value for money factor for years now . You do worry where the sport will be in 5 years time .

Aye I hope there's no lingering bad feeling between our two clubs , I've a lot of good friends among the Bears fans , even stayed at Big Russ' house one year when the Tigers were down , even went for a Parmo lol . Time to draw a line under this meeting now .

Aye back in the day when the Dark Lord was Imperial Wizard at the BSPA Hilton , Glasgow wouldn't have got that decision .

Possible , but unlikely

It was moving in the stalls and got put back 15 metres . Since we've been awarded the meeting , better get the tin hat out

Unfortunately second halves were a bit of a waste of time up here Sidney , away riders couldn't wait to get hit the road and either didn't try and got knocked out , or were offski as soon as the league match was over . Would happen regularly a home second string , who hadn't scored much in the actual meeting , would beat the away number 1 in the heats of the rider of the night . Would bring the house down , but seemed pretty false .
