In my opinion the've made the starting procedure unnecessarily complicated......should be IMO.....if they're sitting still when the starting marshal walks away then that's fine.....if they move and or get a flier after that, who cares.....sometimes fliers can make the race more exciting. BUT, first to touch or break the tapes....automatic exclusion. All this "at the referee's discretion" is what is causing the gross inconsistency.

Totally agree..........

Sensible early call off........when I didn't see a preview in the SGB site I gathered they'd made the decision.

Maybe personal reasons..........lol

With a National league rider replacing Adam Ellis?.........I don't think so. Pathetic that this is allowed to happen.....

Pretty pathetic to say the least.......ridiculous that meetings like this are allowed to take precedence over league commitments. Too many riders riding for different teams, countries and other competitions. Just another nail in British speedway's coffin. Wonder how many folk won't turn up on Friday through lack of interest?......

Similarly though, our Connor Bailey has had VERY limited experience in any league and in fact only progressed to 500cc machines at the end of last year........so you're not at a great disadvantage man for man in my opinion.

Codeine, which is the Co part of Co-Codamol, is an Opiate so is going to flag up a problem in a drug test.

Ah.....never thought of checking Swedish speedway, I just looked at Denmark....silly me...

Why is our number 3 position marked as "to be confirmed" on the SpeedwayGB website?.......is there doubt over Rasmus riding?

Aye.....very funny. At least, I HOPE it was a joke.......lol

Maybe all wary in case of another drug test........lol.

Shocking news.....very best wishes......

Yeah SR, I think they'll do their damnedest to get this meeting running on Saturday. That's the way of FIM events and they'll only restage if the track is not rideable or dangerous. Only thing is, the rain might keep some of the less fanatical punters away.

You can let me know R&R......'cause I sure won't be watching this meaningless nonsense again......

Can't see it lasting long......Totally embarrassing listening to Tatum and Pearson trying to talk up this boring, worthless crap. I DID enjoy the rider interviews though...........NOT! Absolute waste of time in my opinion.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone go into a bend quicker at Glasgow than Robert Lambert at one particular meeting. Can't remember his overall performance though.....that overtaking move just sticks in my head.

Had to laugh a wee bit when Zaine Kennedy (who earlier had said there was no reason they couldn't turn the Glasgow result at Sheffield around) throttled off in anger when Kyle Bickley beat him, only to allow Paul Starke across the line in front of him......lol

Got to say I'm disappointed Connor Coles hasn't been given the chance after the excellent job he's done recently. I've read that the management have been targeting Bailey for a wee while, so can understand the "unfortunate timing" issue but I just hope he is ready for the Championship as he only stepped up to 500 bikes fairly recently. Hope he does ok though.

You make a good point here, but surely your percentage is a good bit out....there are certainly many at all clubs who couldn't care less about away fixtures.....or where they are in the league.

Yup.........Cook a class act and a joy to watch. Jensen a pure racer with a great style and never gives up, Vissing likewise. Bickley another stylish rider who's going places quickly.

A couple of years ago there would have been multiple pages of comments on here by now. Sad state of affairs these days.....

IT takes a very special person to successfully commentate on motor sport and a very, very special person to be able to do it on a one minute speedway race. Not for me I'm afraid.....

I'm not one for condoning knee jerk reactions and would normally give riders plenty of time to settle, but after seeing Luke in the first meeting it was obvious he is not ready for this league..........but I thought to myself "who could we replace him with?" After last night's performance my question was answered.......ANYONE. He looked totally uncomfortable on the bike and was really riding like a total novice at some points showing little or no confidence. I really feel sorry for him but it's obvious he needs more time on the bike without the pressures of being in this league. It will only worsen his confidence if he remains.

Thoroughly enjoyable meeting........
