Paulco Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The Tigers bandwagon rolls on this Friday when we entertain Plymouth . Be a nice change to have speedway royalty in opposition, but after watching Jason Crump struggle during Monday night's telly meeting , you wonder how fit he actually is . We welcome back Connor Bailey to the fold and hope he can hit the ground running to give us that bit of extra potency at reserve . Sam Jensen's early season form sees him move into the top 5 , with Justin Sedgmen dropping down . Shows how daft our league set up is when Sedgmen rides in the main body of the team for Sheffield in the 6 team nonsense , and rides at reserve in the Championship . Crazy . Anyway this should be a routine three points with Plymouth looking to have a long tail , but hopefully it's another cracker on the league's Premier circuit . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragdoll64 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I’m actually wondering if Crump will bother to travel north?…..he looked very uncomfortable on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been very professional.If he doesn’t travel it will mean he feels he is still not fully fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redflag Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Traveling up from Exeter for this meeting more for a weekend away & a first visit to Ashfield as I’m not expecting anything other than a comfortable win for Glasgow. Purchased the stream for GP qualifier & thought the track was great,looking forward to it. Fingers crossed for the weather. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather to be 24 degrees on Friday be a bit cooler at tapes up but will be a pleasant evening to watch Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Seems to be a change in forecast, now strong chance of rain, however drainage at Ashfield is excellent so hopefully racing will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I’m not knocking Glasgow here but I am speedway it’s absolutely ludicrous that a guy is reserve in the middle league but in the top5 in the top league I’m just hoping are guys put on a bit of a show and it’s not a complete rout and the Glasgow fans enjoy seeing crump and pedersen.,good luck to both teams.

Paulco Posted July 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 That was a downpour and a half . There was a Somerset KO Cup.match a few years ago.that got stopped in.similar monsoon conditions , but I think.the rain tonight was even worse than that day . Brilliant sunshine up until.7-20 , then that . You couldn't make it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a glorious week of warm weather in Glasgow it starts to rain at Ashfield not long before tapes-up and kept on going until it was called off. Other parts of the central belt had little or no rain apparently, just our luck. Feel sorry for those that travelled up from England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redflag Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Couldn’t believe just as my partner & I waved when the announcer asked if anyone had traveled up from sunny! Devon the heavens opened! Did fill my Tennents up almost quicker than I could drink it! Talked to some very friendly people & had more drinks in the bar before getting train back to city centre. Gutted I didn’t see any speedway but will make the effort to go back once I’ve dried out!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Red flag, Google makes it 484 miles Plymouth to Glasgow. I have travelled some miles in my time to see meetings rained off , but that must be hard to beat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
