Mr Blobby Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Would be surprised if any of the poles are happy with this taking place a day before their matches with their top boys riding in it. I’m surprised more haven’t pulled out. Edited August 1, 2018 by Mr Blobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPD444 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Must say I am surprised Mark has not selected Troy Batchelor before either Rohan or Jack. Whether they like each other is immaterial this is business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPD444 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I read somewhere that International matches are six a side. Only the messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, Mark didn't select him the Speedway of Nations meetings so maybe he has got the hump. He did guest for the Aces when Craig was ill I think?

coldace Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Coming up for this one. Not been to Glasgow for years and certainly not since the alterations. Can anyone tell me what the parking situation is? There used to be a small car park next to a social club but don't recall it being big enough for the expected crowd. Appreciate any information, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate any information, thanks There is a large manned, you have to pay, car park west of the stadium, no more than 10 minutes walk away. Try scrolling down the official Facebook page. It gives maps, train and other info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no Doyle and no Lambert ( for various reasons ) it looks more and more like a Championship lineup. Issue the teams , as known today please. We know that riders can be injured at any time so why do we not know of the "squad" members? None of the Aussie team ride CL and nor does Woffy so can't agree with that. Looks like two evenly matched sides to me, should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Blobby is probably green with envy that Glasgow are hosting this and thought he'd stir the pot a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the No.6 is classed as Reserve, has to be the lowest average rider and can have up to 7 rides in total. 5th highest average is classed as a supplementary reserve, but does not have to ride at No. 5.

Up in Glasgow this weekend anyway for the European Track Cycling Championships and some football so this fixture has made the trip for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderfella Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable with a speedway meeting as I do with this one. Call me cynical but this surely has to be about 'buying a meeting' rather than a real Test Match? The Glasgow Promotion is owned by Allied Vehicles who sponsored Team GB in the recent Speedway of Nations so surely this has got to be some sort of payback along with the fact that 5 out of the 12 riders involved ride for BV and the other major sponsor for this meeting just happens to be BV's major sponsor or 'partner'. As a SPEEDWAY fan based in Scotland I was looking forward to a meeting with big names but even now 5 of the 6 GB riders double down in the CL anyway but the fact this is so commercialised has put me off going especially with the fact there is a booking fee for advanced tickets. Speedway fails yet again. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
