racers and royals Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Would be really good if you could add Glasgow Saturday 4th August to the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hope Doyle is fit and both Australia and GB put out their strongest sides possible. Hope it's a great success for Glasgow and speedway in the UK in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTGNigel Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I was up in Glasgow anyway to see the (now postponed) Glasgow v Newcastle meeting on Friday night along with some Track Cycling and Football. Very excited about this and already bought my ticket. Was just thinking at the GP on Saturday that a proper Test Match was long overdue.

Woz01 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hopefully next year there will be a few more up and down the country. Can't make this one but it's certainly a step in the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Full international at a tier 2 track...when did that last happen? Glasgow deserve it...wish we had similarly excellent promoters and track down south.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welwyn Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Wonder what everyone would consider the best GB & Aus 1-7's actually are right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Woffinden, Lambert, Cook, Bewley, Worrall (S), Ellis got to be nailed on - maybe the likes of Garrity/Howarth be thereabouts? vs Holder (J) and (C?), Batchelor, Morris, Masters, Kurtz, Doyle Edited July 24, 2018 by JCookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icicle Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Note from info on this that the stadium has only a capacity of 2,500 only! Thought it was larger than that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I'm sure I read somewhere they would be 6 man teams? Which side is Schlein going to ride for? Edited July 24, 2018 by Noodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Glasgow tweeted that after I had posted potential teams. That would marry up with my thought that this is a joint venture between the new 'Team GB' ownership & Glasgow as an experiment for future Tests. Denmark use 6-rider teams and might be easier for the likes of Sweden to come over with 6-man rather than 7-man teams.

Welwyn Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 To be fair, it's progressive either way. Mind you, a really progressive thing would be to give the rights away to ITV4 or BBC Red Button for production costs only.... ....Flying Pigs Alert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlein rides on an ACU licence, so it wouldn't be Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe speedway can reach a whole new low - Schlein to ride for GB & Australia to use rider replacement for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they have ever been 6 rider teams....7, 8 and even 10 rider teams in the early years but cannot recall a single one in the UK with 6. That is of course making a "Wild" assumption that this would be a real 18 heat International.....but that really is a wild assumption, probably 15.
