  1. Aaron Summers does it quite a lot at Glasgow , carrying on that tradition so wonderfully carried out during Shane Parker's reign at Ashfield
  2. So it's back to non televised meetings now ( you can put the horns away now kids , thank you ) as we welcome the other Tigers to our humble abode . Fernando moves into the main body of the team and the injured Nike Lunna drops to reserve , so we'll have a wee guesty at reserve , but I don't know who yet . No Jason Garrity for Sheffield , so no gift points for us , and maybe no Josh Bates either as I'm sure I read somewhere he had been stepped down for 9 days with concussion . This will be another tough test of our play off credentials , but I'm hopeful of another three points . Just as long as the weather plays nice , a Sheffield visit has a history of rain problems
  3. Ah but had you watched Wednesday's speedway extravaganza on Sky , from God's country , you would have saw that happen twice for 5-1's
  4. Hope it stays dry for this , a wee refreshment at Cockermouth first , then onto Derwent Park , come on the Stripes
  5. The fans love it when Danny celebrates like that , supporters moan about the lack of characters in the sport , so keep on celebrating Danny . I'm old enough to remember Terry Kelly when he rode for Workington and he was much the same playing to the crowd , so I hope Danny continues what he does
  6. Aye it was just pulling into the platform , thanks . This Elite League speedway must be absolutely wonderful week after week , I might have to start watching it . There's more to speedway than just overtaking , the two rides by Lawson and Summers to shepherd their partner home , while having a Monarch snapping at their back wheel , was great to watch . EL supporters like to be condescending towards the Premier League , but I don't bother about that too much , I love what we have at Glasgow .
  7. Just back and the atmosphere tonight was brilliant . Okay the racing in the first half of the meeting was a bit follow the leader , but it did improve . The turning point was the 5-1 in heat 11 . We were getting a wee bit concerned , only 2 points up at that point , and Masters looking very good . But he had the graveyard gate 1 in that heat , he did try to anticipate the start and messed it up and that really made the difference . We were pretty solid throughout , Edinburgh didn't really have a lot to back up their heat leaders with . Though Mark Riss got better with every race and Bewley has come on a lot since his first Ashfield outing . But I really enjoyed being at a speedway meeting with that kind of atmosphere .
  8. Since we don't have a number 1 of the same standard as Masters and Wolbert , apparently , this means we will be right up against it . Yes the doyen of drivel , John Campbell , reckons Glasgow don't have a number 1 that can cope with those two . Obviously we were totally unaware of that fact and now we might have to call a sun off to avoid any embarrassment .
  9. It's only natural , since 2011 the balance of power has been firmly in West Lothian , hopefully that is about to change and the red and white hordes are emerging from their slumber shudders
  10. All joking aside , it's never nice when any club , , gets a run of postponements . No income at the turnstiles hurts speedway clubs probably more than any other sport . Hope that's you had your fill for the season now and that the weather gives you a break now
  11. Running scared of the guests you always have a wee greet about
  12. As long as it doesn't involve me actually going into a shop , she can batter on
  13. our record is unblemished , any criticism is nothing more than east coast propaganda . It's lovely in the beer garden tonight by the way
  14. They can't hid behind their umbrellas forever
  15. I suspect a sun off , they were running scared of guests for the second Friday in a row
  16. Originally I wasn't bothered as it was the Dump tonight , Berwick tomorrow and the Moanarchs at home on Sunday . Two meetings got switched to accommodate Sky and the Dump is now rained off tonight . Going to get munchies and a carry out and watch Euro 2016 from my couch Saturday and Sunday
  17. Yes she did , on the 6-10 flight . She's with the Travel plus mob in the Hotel Andels
  18. This famous Armadale micro climate is just ripping the piss now , thankfully I'd hadn't left for the meeting yet . Not a drop of rain in the west all day too
  19. My other half is there , her first foreign GP , hope it's a cracker
  20. Tonight would be 2 from 4 should it good ahead . I'm not too worried about that at the moment , just hope it doesn't become an issue as the season progresses .
  21. It's the way speedway is unfortunately , but then it does give the Monarchs faithful their weekly whinge . We'd all love speedway to be one rider , one team , but those days are long gone . But it is frustrating the Rene Bach seems to be in Denmark more than here . In saying that , I hope Doolan scores a maximum just to rub it in , c'mon the Stripes
  22. I hope it happens , could just be the shot in the arm our sport needs
  23. Berwick deserve all the recognition , hope it's another success
