Wind your neck in , we're having a laugh .

No he just got over protective about the chatzone . We all know it's an important service without the patronising reminder . But tonights texters comments were more Krankies than King Jamie . But if that's what they like , who are we to criticise .

Aye touched a nerve there

They should do , Wells is excellent round Ashfield , as is Masters when he keeps the toys in the pram .

That is for the Monarchs riders tomorrow night

Seriously though , i'm all for adding humour into the texting , but clever humour . King Jamie was very good at that , far removed from the juvenile drivel I read tonight . Was your lot that christened Mr Summers that

Texters comments were obviously aimed at your average 12 year old

You have banter on the crapzone ????? well there you go , every day's a school day

Erm Naw . You lot would be better sticking to the pessimistic posts that you excel in Four point lead to take to Sheffield ......hmmmmmm . Well done Son of God , 2nd week in a row a Tiger has stuck it up the Monarchs at the 'dale

Those will include mastering joined up writing and various pantomime runs at the Pavillion .

Because that's what they do , then they come on here feigning surprise and ejaculating about how wonderful they are . Hopefully we can avoid all that nonsense by pumping them tomorrow night .

All clubs should make that stipulation , and if they refuse to sign - then so be it

Pathetic . We need to chase these foreign riders that cant commit to our clubs' fixtures full time

First real test of both clubs' title credentials . Being at home puts that wee bit more pressure on us . Looking at it from last week's meeting , Workington had a big hitter and a high scoring reserve . Had they another quality heat leader , they would have won . Edinburgh tick those boxes . Our lower order had their worst meeting , collectively , against Workington . So more is needed there . It's a fascinating prospect , with supporters of both sides trying to play down their team's chances - but kidding nobody . Are Edinburgh capable of coming to Ashfield and winning ? Yes they look as if they are . Are Glasgow capable of inflicting a first defeat on Edinburgh ( apologies Sheffield ) , of course we are . I for one , can't wait .

No negativity please , we'll win this comfortably

Good stuff , hopefully it's a nice enough day for the beer garden .

Who said anything about wanting to be battering teams week in week out ?

Point taken

Only a week to go before me and Willie descend upon you . Hope that bar is going to be open as late as it was last season ? Is the Golf Inn near the track still open for pre meeting bevvy warm up ?

So it's almost upon us , the first derby of the season . No other meeting in British speedway yields as much passion as this does . Both teams are in relatively decent form , our three big guns are performing admirably , while the youngsters need to up their game from last weekend . This will be a tough examination . The Forces of Darkness have yet to suffer defeat , albeit they've only raced the weaker sides , and one of those severely depleted . They are led once again by the smiling , whinging Aussie , Sam Masters ( oh how you wish they'd sign Josh Bates for heat ones ) and the ever popular ( well he used to be ) Ricky Wells . The Riss brothers have started the season really well , and no doubt the Chuckle Brothers will be examining all options to keep Mark Riss at reserve till at least September . They have a new young Aussie , who seems to be better than last season's new young Aussie . And they have the most experienced two pointer in the league and Cleggy . So we'll have to be on it right from the start and lets see if we can show these Monarchs who's boss this season .

Deary me Jenga , give us a break . We have the most expensive speedway in the Championship , surely being entertained for our hard earned isn't much to ask .

Whether we agree about t/r's , tacky subs or whatever , they do have the potential to give good speedway , which is something we all want . They really don't change that many meetings , but when they do it generally results in a classic . Peterborough v Reading in 2006 is generally accepted to be the best play off final there's been , the t/r's played a part in ensuring that .

We have a free weekend next weekend as do yourselves

Maybe you could come to us next weekend then for the rearranged league match

It's a good idea until the rules get bent and you get Australians with about 10 years Premier League experience sneaking into a number 7 racejacket .
