Whats the answer to this Geoff we have the choice of a guest from Berwick,Eastbourne or Sheffield that's it and my opinion is Richard is the one rider from these teams we can trust plus Aaron who is injured

Actually, you had the choice of just about anyone in the top league too.  Cookie has an average of 11.01 (so 11.56 with the 5% added).  You had Hans Andersen lined up, but he got injured and one or two other riders are rumoured to have turned the offer down.

Anyway hope the weather forecast is wrong as it doesn't look good (Met Office site) as I will be making my way up for this one.

All that being said , round Ashfield Richard is probably about the best available

Probably quite correct, but I was just pointing out that Glasgow had more choice than MANSE is saying.

Only a matter of time before money came into the conversation I suppose . Listen carefully Geoff , we know you are anti Glasgow , we get that it's fine . But having 7 riders in one's team is a better option than r/r . And for this meeting Richard Lawson is the best option available . The fact he is riding for the opposition on Tuesday is irrelevant,  he's done enough laps round Glasgow to know he's going to be a force to be reckoned with whether he rides tonight or not .

I am not anti glasgow have been twice this season and am going on tuesday as well  , i still say it shows my fav sport to be a complete nonsense over the next four days in glasgow, explain it to anyone not a fan reading a local paper seeing any rider in one team then another in the next meeting then wonder why people except us diehards dont turn up.

Had looked at the Prem  and saw nobody with a average less than 7.7 who would be better than Richard only possibility would be K Bjerre

The guest question has been mulled over by people more knowledgeable than us ever since league speedway came into being . 

How do you replace an unavailable rider who has lost only one heat on home shale all season . You cant , it would be like Belle Vue trying to replace Ivan Mauger in 1969 . 

The mere nature of our sport means the guest facility in this sort of instance is better than any other answer .

R/R for Thomas at 2. Ulrich at 5. Danny at 7.

Thanks for the info, pity the meeting is cancelled but it's the right call as the forecast is not very pleasant at all for later today and tonight!
